Overall, the tutoring service was helpful and effective. Concepts were explained clearly, and the materials provided, such as worksheets, were useful for practicing and reinforcing learning. The sessions helped improve understanding of the subject read more

Evan Gao was amazing in helping my daughter with her Physics course. He was engaging, encouraging and really helped her understand concepts that she struggled with. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a Physics tutor! read more

Adam has been an excellent tutor for my daughter. You wouldn't necessarily think they would be a great fit based on bios, but he has kept her focused, built her confidence and encouraged her to become better. Their sessions are always productive and instead of feeling frustrated and discouraged, she comes away smiling and feeling positive. read more

Michal Borton was an incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and caring tutor that made me excited to learn about Biology. I am so appreciative of all of the help I got from Michal and I never felt judged even when asking "silly" questions about Biology. read more

Peggy is fantastic with my daughter and is excellent at providing feed back, helping her understand things and moving her forward. I would highly recommend her! read more

Peggy has been having weekly meetings with our daughter, helping her with working through college applications, for the last few months. Peggy has been incredibly helpful, helping our daughter stay organized and keep track of deadlines, and also giving our daughter feedback on her essays and other aspects of the applications. We highly recommend Peggy! read more

Peggy tutors my son and is very patient and keeps him interested. We appreciate the progress he's made with Peggy.

Whenever my son needed a bit of extra help in his studies, AJ Tutoring could always find him the right person. They are very accommodating to schedules, but I do recommend getting started with them early. Now my son just finished studying for college tests and the results have been more than expected. So happy with all their help. read more

We started with AJ Tutoring almost 3 years ago, because we wanted to give our son an after-school tutor for math. The tutoring, became even more important this year, with the High School transition. The director of the AJ office in Los Gatos, Jake Beech, has been a helpful resource to identify the right tutor for our needs and we started immediately with Dennis Valle-Ramirez. My son is really happy working with Dennis. He is very prepared and helpful in explaining new math topics and with pre-test assessments. Our son gained confidence and strengthen his math skills with measurable improvements on his scores and the successful outcome of getting into his favorite high school. We also had a very great experience with Jessica, a language tutor who assisted our son to improve his essay writing skills. Thanks, Dennis, Jessica, Jake, and thanks AJ!! - R.M. read more

My daughter is very positive about her lesson with Kamlapati Khalsa at Los Gatos location who seems to understand just what she needs on her and how to get her there.   I could not be happier!  Thank you for giving my daughter the confidence she needs to keep gaining momentum in AP Cal & Physics. (Parent of a Grade 11 student) read more

My son has been working with AJ tutoring for the majority of high school. Ian Richardson and Joe Notar have been invaluable to his continued success. With their guidance and support he was able to stay on course with the learning and continuously maintain his grades. They pay close attention to each quiz/test and make sure he grasps the subject. They also reach out to the parents and check-in consistently to ensure the work they are doing is having an impact. In addition to their support and guidance, Ian (specifically) became a sort of mentor to my son, whom developed a deep respect for him. If you're considering hiring a tutor, don't think twice, AJ Tutoring is the place to go! read more

I have been tutoring with AJ since 6th grade. I am in 11th now. All of my tutors at AJ have been phenomenal! Math is my weak subject. Joe at AJ has helped me through Algebra II immensely. He always fits me in his busy schedule when I have needed extra help. He is extremely quick in responding to my emails. He is a gem ... A++++!! read more

We have been using AJ tutoring for three years and their professionalism is excellent! I highly recommend Dennis Ramirez as a math specialist. He has worked with my son on algebra and geometry with tremendous success. He has a truly excellent way of teaching the material. SC read more

Ian Richardson has been my tutor for nearly three years now and he is outstanding. Not only did he teach me an AP Psychology course, he also did ACT/SAT prep with me and helped me with my college application essays. If you are looking for a versatile teacher who can do it all, I strongly recommend Ian. With Ian's help, my SAT score increased by nearly 300 and he helped me exceed my goals and expectations for the reading and writing sections as English is not my first language. Now, I feel more ready than ever for college thanks to Ian. read more

I called AJ tutoring to ask for help for my daughter and special needs son. I had a reasonable conversation with their placement direct, and was told I would receive a list of candidates by that evening or the next morning. AJ tutoring never followed up. No email, no phone call. It was a waste of my time and I find it highly frustrating that I shared information about my kids with them only for them to take no action at all. read more

The How To Be Successful in High School class with Lindsay Huysentruyt really helped me get ready and be more confident in my transition from middle school to high school. Lindsay was very clear when explaining things to me and always had good answers whenever I had a question. This class not only teaches you how to be successful in the high school environment, but also helps you succeed in scheduling and outside of school activities. Thanks to this class I am now feeling a lot more ready to go to high school and will definitely use the tips and tricks I was taught when doing my work inside and outside of school. read more

My son has been working with Robin Stevens, a tutor with AJ Tutoring for more than one year. I thoroughly recommend Robin in every way! He is super smart and organized (as you would expect from such a high caliber organization as AJT) - but what sets Robin apart is his ability to connect with my teenager. He isn't a preachy type, but practical and responsive to what is needed (and this has changed from last year to this year). He also knows how to get to the bottom of what is needed, i.e. in learning to write more descriptive language, he doesn't rewrite text for him, he actually teaches him how to come up with better words himself. (I have no idea how he does this magician's trick!) The proof is in the pudding: straight A's last year (sophomore year at LGHS) and on track again this semester. Thank you, Robin, we are so grateful for your skills and coaching. read more

Very happy with Dennis the tutor. He's been tutoring my 13 and 15 year old sons math for over a year and they both like him and we feel it's really helping. Dennis is extremely attentive and follows up with us on a consistent basis to make sure the kids are meeting their goals and our expectations. read more

Heather has been our language tutor for our daughter who started high school during pandemic. Heather formed a nice rapport with our daughter and has been instrumental in providing her with the confidence that comes from impactful instruction. Our daughter developed mastery and did well in homework and scored well in tests (scoring 95% or higher) even during covid! A+ for Heather and thank you to AJ Tutoring. read more

I want to thank AJ Tutoring again for helping My daughter with the SAT study. The techniques that she learned at AJ had definitely helped her prepared and scored better. My daughter scored almost 100 points more compared to the previous SAT. Thank John and Amber again for the wonderful coaching. read more

My son has been working with Sarah Devlin to improve his reading and writing skills. Sarah has been very helpful in tailoring the teaching material to supplement current school curriculum and finding readings that are of interest to my son so he can be motivated and continuously work on improving in areas that would help him excel. I can clearly see the progress my son has made with Sarah's help and would highly recommend using AJ tutoring. read more

My daughter had Daniel Pincus for her ACT prep tutor, and he was fantastic. He coached to a perfect score of 36 on her reading, as well as improving her English, Math and Science scores. We highly recommend AJ Tutoring! read more

It was fine but it just didn't help very much. There was no improvement from the practice test before tutoring and after tutoring. It also didn't really help with test anxiety. There was nothing really wrong with it. Its just expensive and we did not see the value. read more

My son recently completed SAT prep with Payson Marsh in the Los Gatos office. I could not be more satisfied with the results. All the arguing in our house disappeared once I turned my son over to Payson who is VERY well suited for coaching/tutoring teens. His style is non-judgmental, he has many practical tips and useful test taking strategies for his students, he genuinely cares about helping those he works with improve, he is flexible and he has great follow-through. Most importantly Payson has been a calming force for my son who had been feeling tremendous pressure to do well on the SAT. While my son has tried a few other SAT prep resources, Payson is the only resource my son said made a true difference in how he was thinking about and approaching the SAT. The increase in confidence my son exhibited after each session was striking and he looked forward to meeting with Payson each and every time, a real testament to Payson's ability to connect and help. I highly recommend Payson - tutoring time with him is money very well spent. read more

Greg Crites is an awesome AP History tutor. My son has taken about 5 classes so far. His test scores have improved significantly. More important, my son seems to enjoy the subject and the tutoring sessions. Greg emphasizes overall comprehension of material as well as test taking strategies. read more

AJ tutoring has been very helpful for me! I did one on one SAT prep last year and math tutoring with Lan Do. She was amazing and I brought my score up by 100 points after working with her. I would highly recommend her. The office is in a convenient location, the tutors are very professional and email you back very quickly. I personally enjoy getting snacks and the rolly ranchers. This year I have tutor Ian and Heather and they are both very good and very knowledgeable. There tutors seem to book out very fast so sometimes it's hard to get on the schedule. It's a bit pricey compared to other places but there program is well established, very organized and they seem like they know what they are doing. I have had a great experience with AJ tutoring and would highly recommend it! read more

My son scored a 35 on the ACT! John Richard is amazing. We started at the Los Gatos location & when John Richard moved to Los Altos my son never questioned following him there. Even in traffic! My son has been going to him for two years for AP calculus & AB calculus and his grades are very good! When it came to the ACT we knew John Richard was our guy! read more

I worked with Joe Notar for 2 years for tutoring in Trig Pre Calculus, AP Statistics and ACT prep. He has been such an awesome person to work with and not only helped me raise my grade in math classes but also really helped me understand the curriculum better. He also helped me raise my ACT score by 4 points. Overall he is a great tutor and AJ tutoring as a whole offered a great service to me. read more

It was super helpful working with Christine Roberts. I had fun working with her and I learned essential strategies for test taking. Snacks and service are awesome too. The practice tests were also a nice tool to have to study and getting to review the practice tests helped me see what I did wrong. Im glad I went to AJ for help I got alot out of it. read more

I am very impressed with AJ tutoring and Ian Richardson. He has worked with my son on ACT preparation and really helped him fine tune his strategy and skills. In the end he scored a 35 with Ian's help and we are now working with him on AP test prep. We couldn't be happier with Ian and AJ Tutoring for the help and encouragement they gave my son. read more

My son had a great experience working with AJ Tutoring to prep for his SAT/ACT test. Ian was a good fit for him and prepared him very well for his test dates. read more

I've been going here for tutoring for 2 years after trying several other places and not being compatible with them. AJ tutoring was the only place that turned out to be a perfect fit. AJ's has tutoring that is personalized to your needs, one-on-one or group classes, and happily works with any learning differences. I've personally worked with Jake Beech and Katie Szelong and found them both helpful in my academic work! read more

I did ACT and SAT prep with Ian Richardson and I am still currently enrolled, I've done my preliminary tests and am planning to retake and before coming to AJ sat and act scared and confused me but once here i could not have been more prepared for these tests. Ian makes the tutoring and test prep fun and entertaining and enjoyable and I look forward to my sessions instead of dreading them like other outside of school classes. In 7 weeks I was able to raise my sat score by 200 points and in 4 weeks I was able to raise my act score by 3 points, and I would not have been able to do any of this without Ian and AJ tutoring. I've recommended AJ to about all of my friends and every single one of them echos my appreciation and admiration for AJ. read more

Emma Batmazian is an amazing tutor. She really helped my daughter raise her SAT score. Also, Jeff Chen for math is also an excellent tutor, would highly recommend both. read more

Emma was amazing! Not only did she help my daughter raise her ACT score, but she helped to calm her anxiety about the test itself. Emma was also easily available by email or phone to talk about progress or next steps. We have referred many students to her and will not hesitate to contact her for our next test taker in a couple of years. read more

We had an awful experience with High school math teacher. I am fortunate that damage wasn't that bad since we got out pretty quickly.

We've had a great experience with the LG office of AJ Tutoring, working with many wonderful tutors over the years so far, and continuing currently. I highly recommend Dennis Valle-Ramirez, who has tutored my son in math for several years (Geometry, Algebra II, Trig/Pre-Calc) including as his primary instructor for a semester of Algebra II as part of a for-credit program through AJ's affiliation with High Bluff Academy. Dennis was quick to identify and assimilate the ways my son learns best and was very effective in helping him understand difficult concepts. My son always enjoyed working with Dennis, who is very personable as well as professional. We are also working with Sarah Devlin for ACT test prep, and she is a knowledgeable, engaging, and resourceful tutor who my son enjoys working with as well. In the past my daughter worked with Lan Do, Emma Batmazian, and others for subject help and test prep. All were excellent! Communication with all of the tutors is thorough, timely, and helpful. LG Office Director Jake Beech is an excellent resource who always responds right away and helps identify the right fit for each student. Thank you AJ Tutoring! read more

We have been using Lauren Finn at AJ Tutoring for test prep on the SAT, and the SAT Math2. Lauren did a great job with our daughter. We worked with her for 3 months to get prepared for the SAT and Lauren did an excellent job assessing the needs and implementing a plan that worked. Our daughter achieved a 340 point increase from when she initially started. We were so impressed that we decided to stay on with Lauren and have her coach our daughter through the SAT Math 2. We were impressed with those results as well. Lauren and AJ Tutoring did a great job assessing our needs (parent and child) and devising a plan to help achieve those goals. I would recommend Lauren and AJ Tutoring for SAT/ACT and SAT Subject Tests. read more

Ian Richardson tutored my son for the ACT. He was responsive, friendly and fun to work with. A few times our son came home saying "Ian is awesome and I'm learning a lot." Our son's final score exceeded our expectations and we owe it to Ian and AJ Tutoring! I highly recommend Ian. read more

Our son was very engaged in the SAT prep class (taught by Ian R.) and thought it was excellent! We rarely get this kind of feedback from his classes at school, so it was a treat for us to hear him talk about how much he got out of it. And then to top it off - he achieved an excellent score!!! We are very pleased and will be signing up our younger son when the time comes. read more
