I had a fantastic experience working with Peter Littlefield while preparing for my MCAT. He was incredibly thorough in his explanations and always took the time to break down complex concepts in a way that made them feel manageable. I never felt hesitant to ask a question because he created an environment where curiosity was encouraged and every question was met with patience and respect. Peter also helped me develop a structured and intensive review plan for my full length exams, which made a significant difference in how effectively I was able to study and track my progress. His guidance strengthened my understanding of the material and gave me the confidence I needed as I moved closer to test day. Peter is an exceptional tutor, and I recommend him wholeheartedly. He is a wonderful choice not only for MCAT preparation but for any science course. His dedication, clarity, and supportive teaching style truly set him apart. read more

Our son has struggled with social communication and expressive language, but through learning math with Daisy, he has not only developed a genuine interest in math, but also improved his communication skills and confidence. Meeting a teacher who truly understands and supports a child is something incredibly meaningful in life. We are deeply grateful for Daisy's warmth, patience, and encouragement, as well as the caring support from AJ Tutoring . Thank you for making such a positive difference in our child's growth and happiness. read more

My daughter has had an amazing experience with Daisy in the spring of 2025. She was in 9th grade and taking Algebra 1. Her friend worked with Daisy and recommended her for tutoring. My daughter found sessions to be very helpful for skills, deepening understanding and gaining confidence. Towards finals, she wanted to meet with Daisy every day before her final exam. She was teetering at an A- the whole semester and brought her grade up to an A for the final and the semester and attributes it to the hard work and 1-on-1 attention from Daisy. I should add that Daisy is very responsive and kind. And AJ Tutoring is very professional and convenient. Thank you! read more

Our son had not had much experience taking standardized testing and worked with AJ Tutoring in Menlo Park to prep for his SAT. Chris was very helpful in teaching how to think about taking a standardized test and helped him improve his score substantially. read more

Very helpful for my MAHS junior preparing for his PSATs. Strongly recommend this shop for your HS student. I've tried others and am happiest with AJ.

David Barton in Menlo Park helped two of my kids with college test prep and was great! Both of my kids had a great experience and were prepared for their tests. read more

Great help with the GMAT. Christina is amazing. She explains core concepts well and has lots of great strategies. I went from the 80th percentile on the practice exams to 99.7th on the real deal! read more

Strongly recommend AJ Tutoring for ACT prep. Elan Zankman worked with my daughter and helped her improve her score. She was super happy with how it went and how the ACT tutoring sessions helped her. I am so glad that we made the decision to sign up with AJ Tutoring and got matched with Elan. Can't say enough good things about Elan. He was great at explaining things and coming up with ways to keep things interesting. He was incredibly supportive, helped build up her confidence, and was easy to work with. Knowledgeable, a great teacher, and a genuinely nice caring person. read more

We had the pleasure of working with Peter Littlefield for my child's SAT/ACT test prep. Peter took a wholistic approach coaching my child on not only exam material, exam taking technique, but also mental preparedness. He was able to unlock our child's potential for a very good result in a relative short time. Also, AJ's mock exams really prepared my child for the real exam. Thanks Peter and AJ for helping my child achieving our goal. read more

We love AJ Tutoring and once again were paired with a fantastic tutor. Dev tutored our son for the Macro and Micro Econ AP Exams. Dev was able to identify the areas for focused study and explained a few challenging theories with clear examples and graphs. He built up our son's confidence and was incredibly supportive and available throughout the weeks leading up to the test. We highly recommend Dev for Econ support! read more

We've had two of our three children thus far with with AJ Tutoring on college prep and they are amazing. Both kids saw a big jump in their scores and also really enjoyed working with our tutor. We are planning to have our youngest work with them next year when it's time to prepare for his SAT. read more

My 8th grade son worked with Jackson Levin for his high school admissions prep. Jackson was very flexible and responsive throughout the whole process. Jackson worked with my son on preparing for the HSPT testing, he made sure my son had a few practice exams at the appropriate time and also helped my son prepare for interviewing skills. My son originally had 3 schools he considered but we ended up only applying to one based on on my son's preference and Jackson was accommodating throughout the whole process. He was friendly and easy to work with which my son really liked. Just for a frame of reference, we had 2 other AJ tutors at the Menlo Park center and one was fantastic as well and the other was just so-so. Jackson was definitely one of the best ones out of the 3 we experienced. Note, we did the 10 week sessions and Jackson did not miss any sessions at all. In fact, he was flexible in that sometimes, we had to switch schedules and he offered alternative time/days that worked for us. I would definitely recommend Jackson Levin to anyone looking to prepare their child for the high school admissions process. (My son was ultimately accepted into his school of choice! yay!) read more

AJ tutoring has been an excellent resource for us when our daughter needed extra help in certain core subjects Junior and Senior Year and our experience with several tutors with AJ has been very positive. They hire the BEST tutors who really get to know your child as a person and their learning style so they can meet them where they are and build from that. For example, my daughter was struggling in Honors Economics last year and she was so lucky to be paired with Devashish as her tutor with AJ. His knowledge and background in Economics and so many other subjects was extensive. He was clearly passionate about teaching! With Devashish's help our daughter was excited about Economics again and got her confidence back which resulted in good grade by end of semester. Devashish was flexible if any changes came up and was an excellent communicator as we would get weekly progress emails on their sessions. That is unique to AJ as you don't always see that with other tutoring centers unless you push to ask. AJ is also very reasonable compared to other tutoring centers in the Bay Area which is definitely worth mentioning since the cost of everything has gone up recently. Overall I highly recommend AJ if your child needs a little or a lot of extra support in academics. read more

We've been working with Elizabeth E for quite a while, and our experiences have been great. She's bright, personable, able to adapt to the needs of different kids, flexible regarding scheduling, and communicative about progress. Highly recommend! read more

David Barton is awesome! He tutored all 3 of our kids for the SAT and left them feeling more confident and prepared.

Elan at AJ Tutoring is amazing! He made the sessions go by quickly and painlessly and is very professional and personable.

I highly recommend Dev (Devashish) for AP Macroeconomics tutoring. My son worked with him and immediately felt motivated and excited about tutoring. Dev reached out to introduce himself to me. He kept me informed of my son's progress. With my son, he went above and beyond to help not just with the AP exam but to encourage his interest in economics in general. He really is exceptional in his knowledge, teaching ability and genuine care for his students. read more

I worked with Devashish for AP Macroeconomics and he was such a great teacher. I was really confused before starting our sessions and immediately after my test grades went up and I was more confident in class. He's a very genuine person and really cares about his students' mental health. I was able to ask all of my questions during our weekly sessions and would 100% recommend working with him! read more

Our child has worked with a few great tutors at AJ. They are all exceptional! Sam Beach is the tutor that has stood out among them for us! He not only knows the material, but he connects on how best to teach it! We have been very happy. read more

Thanks to Chris at AJ tutoring for coaching my daughter for ISEE and help her get admission into good private schools in bay area.

I absolutely adore AJ Tutoring. I used this company when I was in high school studying for the SAT and they helped my score immensely. Now being a junior in college at USF I didn't think I would need a tutor anymore. Nonetheless, Marylin Flores helped me so much this semester will my college level Spanish 3 class. We met twice a week for an hour for over 4 month. I genuinely enjoyed and looked forward to every session I had with her. She made each session fly by. I got so much better at my writing, speaking, and reading. She helped guide me through my composition, orals, and homework. She is passionate about her job and helping the students she works with achieve their greatest potential. I am so so grateful for Marylin and all she had done for me this semester. She was so kind and encouraging every step of the way. I don't know what I would do without her. I would highly recommend Aj tutoring, especially Marylin if you need help with Spanish! read more

Great first experience for my son needing a tutor for SAT prep. James Backlund was terrific. He only had three sessions but felt really good with the prep he had. Everyone was so friendly and easy to work with. Renee was super sweet and I highly recommend this place. read more

AJ Tutoring is top-notch. My child has worked with several tutors in the Menlo Park office over the years for both class work and test prep. Each of the tutors has been professional and well versed in their field of specialty. I particularly appreciate that they address the needs of the student as a whole and unique person and don't escalate undue pressure to perform. The management is communicative and responsive. I hired tutors from a number of tutoring outfits for my older child before finding AJ. None of them came close to AJ's level of professionalism. If only I had known then what I know now. read more

We had a very good experience with James in the Menlo Park office. Kept us informed of progress and always kept his appointments. Had a nice low-key, low-stress approach. We would work with him again for sure. read more

James Backlund is amazing! He did SAT/ACT prep with our eldest son and is now working with our daughter. He is super organized, efficient, communicative and flexible; and he really tailors his tutoring to his students individual strengths and weaknesses. We couldn't be happier with our experience at AJ tutoring and the results attained from working with James! read more

Chris B. is amazing! He's great with kids all ages. He's working with my children, ages 7, 10 & 15. He's flexible and patient. He makes tutoring fun did the kids and they always look forward with their meetings with him. Highly recommended him!! read more

Our daughter Anika has really enjoyed working with Sam Beech. Despite having her test canceled multiple times, she has looked forward to still meeting with Sam regularly. Sam has given her confidence and tips about the test that make him seem like he wrote it! I highly recommend Sam for everyone that is looking for a great tutoring experience! read more

I have worked with Daniel Farell for 2 years on AP Physics 1, 2, C Mechanics, and C Electricity and Magnetism. He has been extremely helpful in achieving great grades in the class and great scores on the AP Exam. Daniel also was a massive help for me to get an A in Multi Variable Calculus in highschool. He managed to adapt to a new way of teaching the class on an online platform using Wolfram Mathematica. He has a great understanding of all the subjects and was a huge help to get through some of these harder classes. I am a student in Illinois and it's been amazing working with him even though he's in California. read more

My child has worked with Chris Blume over the past two years on variety of subject matters from ISEE test prep to math. He's been an amazing teacher, mentor as exhibited as even after his test was over, he asked me to continue learning from him. Chris is so patient and also very flexible and great listening, understanding the needs of the kids. He also goes above and beyond to find resources and support that cater to the child's needs and parent's goals as well. He is a valuable asset to AJ tutoring! read more

What many parents don't understand is that standardized testing is more than regurgitating facts or applying methods. Students that practice the art of test taking and techniques, as well as focused subject matter review, show significantly higher scores. As a former educator, I have seen the direct impact of supplemental tutoring and frequently direct parents to seek additional support for students that are interested in raising their test scores or simply need a boost in particular subject. In working with a large number of Bay Area organizations, I've had the wonderful experience of getting to know more about AJ Tutoring and its work with students. I can attest to the passion, energy, and caring it brings to each student it works with. The members of AJ Tutoring are extremely professional, and the support they provide their students in unparalleled in any other educational organization I've come across. Parents: Don't limit your child's educational opportunities. This is such a simple and easy investment with such incredibly high returns, there's no reason not to opt in. They'll thank you later! read more

Chris is one of the best tutors at AJ. He really helped my daughter get great score on her ISEE for middle school and got into her choice school. Chris is patient, understanding and a very fun tutor. We are grateful for his support and highly recommend him. read more

My son has been seeing Chris Blume for tutoring for 2 years. He is extremely qualified and has a great understanding of my sons strengths and weaknesses. He created a custom learning plan that best suits my sons needs. Chris has a passion for math and teaches in a calm and methodical manner. Both of these things help to motivate my son, who's confidence has grown tremendously over the past 2 years. Chris is professional, very responsive, and he will meet your child in person or virtually. read more

We are ecstatic with the results. Kareem did an excellent job of preparing our daughter. It was a very manageable experience - she had plenty of school work and was playing a team sport at the same time as SAT prep. AJ Tutoring's system works - from what I can tell, lots of timed practice tests for homework, then review of the tests and some other more targeted strategies during the tutoring lesson (he came to our home in SF and coordinated the schedule with our daughter). We weren't expecting such a great improvement. We very highly recommend Kareem and AJ tutoring, and have no regrets. read more

The tutors are on top of it and can answer any question you have. Even in a short-term tutoring period I learned so much more about psychology and felt more prepared for my AP exam. read more

Highly recommend Elizabeth E. at AJ. She's incredibly patient and kind. She made each session fun for my middle schooler. We started with her to help my daughter with ELA, specifically writing. Prior to starting with Elizabeth, my daughter hated to write but over the months, she has improved her writing skills and has gained confidence so is much less intimidated by her assignments. Her help has been invaluable. read more

Sam Beech has been an excellent tutor for my son in eighth and ninth grade math. He has a knack for simplifying the complex and using relatable analogies. He demonstrates patience and doesn't get frustrated when concepts aren't coming as easily to the student. Sam has a very comprehensive knowledge of the math concepts taught in our area, at any level and is skilled at up-leveling or down-leveling as needed. We highly recommend him! read more
