    I have a Sophmore son going on to Junior who needs help on SAT/ACT prep. He hates those long-hour tests and only wants to do one each. So I am looking for a super tutor who can help him on his one shot deal. Is Mike the tutor for my son?

    Yes mr test prep is your guy! Especially if your son only plans on taking the test once. I would say he is your best option .Good luck

    My son had an excellent experience with Caleb Liu preparing for the ACT. Caleb is extremely…read moreprofessional, listens attentively to the individual needs and goals of the student and parent, and goes above and beyond to ensure the success of his students. He was recommended to me by a parent whom he successfully tutored with great results as well. I was especially impressed by him when there was a practice test hiccup, was super responsive in resolving the issue, and took it upon himself to do a personal makeup for my son. I highly recommend Caleb as a 5-star tutor for test prep. Overall, our experience with AJ was very positive, but there is significant room for improvement for practice test sessions. My son took two practice tests that were not well-organized and frustrated him because he had prepared for them only to feel like his time was wasted. I provided direct feedback to AJ because I was surprised that that this happened twice in a row to my son. I expected a premium tutoring service like AJ to be able to run practice test sessions routinely and smoothly because when they don't it causes additional stress and time on the students and parents. I hope AJ takes this as constructive feedback for the future.

Over time, she has become far more than a tutor -- she's a steady, trusted presence who understands how to meet a student where they are and help them move forward with confidence. What makes DeLey truly special is her deep care and emotional intelligence. She doesn't just teach; she listens, encourages, and adjusts her approach to fit each moment. She's patient when things are hard, celebrates small wins, and helps students rediscover motivation from within. My daughter has learned to set realistic goals, build discipline, and take ownership of her learning -- all under DeLey's calm and thoughtful guidance. It's rare to find someone both so reliable and so genuinely invested in a student's growth. DeLey combines academic skill with heart, and that combination has had a lasting impact on my daughter's confidence and progress. I deeply trust her judgment and am so grateful for her continued support through the years.

    I began taking lessons with Irina in early 2019, after more than 20 years away from playing. To say…read moreI felt intimidated going into this endeavor would be an understatement. Irina, however, quickly put me at ease. She has a unique ability to inspire you to work harder without being intimidating. Equally important, she has helped me improve my technique a lot--teaching me to relax my hands and arms and to focus on the musicality of a piece--and the effectiveness of my practice. She is a flexible instructor, tailoring her teaching to a student's interests rather than dictating particular materials or pieces. Irina is patient and warm, with a seemingly endless optimism about her students' potential. I genuinely enjoy my lessons with Irina and only wish I had met her earlier.

They were…read moreall at various skill levels but had only ever studied with one other teacher and so were a bit shy moving to a new instructor. Ms. Irina is charismatic and engaging -- she is very good at drawing out her students so that they are fully engaged in the lesson. Ms. Irina holds them to high standards, and rewards them for their efforts. She is honest and direct in her feedback to both the kids and to parents. Her piano instruction always includes sight-reading and theory in addition to pieces that the kids are working on towards performance at recital, festivals, etc. She also periodically hosts weekend games at her house as a fun way to reinforce theory. She has a contract with expectations that both parents and students sign so you know the expectations. She is great about giving lessons on Zoom if someone is sick or needing to quarantine. When I asked my kids what they think is great about Ms. Irina, they said, "She challenges you and pushes you to be better." That is a pretty great compliment from kids who say they don't like taking piano lessons.

The first time I met with Clark, I was impressed that he took time to understand my strengths and weaknesses before delving into subjects I wanted to work on. He asked me questions about subjects I thought I knew well only to find room for improvement. During our meetings, he focussed on how I learn and pushed me to understand details I previously neglected. He had the intuition to know whether I truly understood the material. Most importantly, he pushed to see if I had the knowledge required to answer MCAT style questions. His quizzing ensured that I could quickly answer questions I struggled with in the past. Not only was Clark well-tuned to the MCAT and the details one must know to get a good score, but he had numerous resources that were extremely helpful. He has very extensive and very helpful notes on practically every subject in physics and chemistry. These notes were of particular use when I was out of town working an internship in Chicago. While I was out of town, I still wanted to work with Clark. He was flexible and agreed to tutor me over Skype. We used google documents to draw diagrams in order to discuss problems. After working with Clark for two months, I already sense an improvement, not only in how much I understand the material we have reviewed, but also on the way I approach the typical MCAT-type problem. When I recently took the MCAT, I felt prepared. (I raised my score by *FOUR* points!) I cannot stress how important it is to feel prepared on your test day. Having a tutor like Clark can make a world of difference when you sit down to take the test and you realize you know the answers to the questions you are being tested on.

The distractions of traditional classrooms are hard for kids with learning differences. Lydian was a good solution. She had compassionate and dedicated tutors, and my niece improved her understanding of the course material and was able to finish the academic year successfully. Of course, some tutors are better than others so check on qualifications and meet the tutor. Since then I've recommended Lydian to several other families and each time they also were happy with the result. It's a luxury to be able to offer a child one-on-one tutoring. If you can afford it, it can mean so much. I recommend Lydian for this reason alone. It's a good model and it can get results.

I have moved on in my life, and I would like to say that any success I have experienced and will experience in the future is in spite of Lydian.
