Shushan is an incredible tutor! She is sweet and patient and connected easily with my son. He felt comfortable with her and was always happy to go. She not only teaches the material, but her tips, tricks and strategies are invaluable. She helped my son prep for the HSPT entrance exam for Notre Dame after he took their week-long test prep workshop and practice test and his score needed to greatly improve. Shushan worked with him once a week for a few months leading up to the test and his score went up 130 points and his markers went from half being in the 'below average' range & half in the 'average' range to ALL ABOVE AVERAGE on the actual test! He was accepted into Notre Dame and we couldn't be happier. Shushan also helped him with general study habits for tests and gave him tools that he can apply for years to come. We will continue to call Shushan anytime my son needs extra support throughout high school and will be sending my younger daughter to her to test prep when she's ready for high school. I highly recommend Shushan at Protege Tutoring to help get your kids where they need to be. read more

Shushan is an absolutely amazing tutor! My daughter started working with her this past year and she literally saved us during 7th grade advanced algebra!!! Not only is Shushan an incredible teacher but she helped boost my daughter's confidence so much. She recently received an 'A' on her math final and upon seeing her grade said, "thank goodness for Shushan!!!" Could not more highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing tutor!! read more

We hired Protégé for HSPT tutoring. Best decision ever! Ms. Shushan gave my son not only a solid foundation in all 5 testing areas but also useful tips and tricks to help with the overall score. My son has attention issues and she absolutely knew how to work with him to keep him engaged, interested and really eager to do his best. Highly recommended; we'll definitely be back for SATs! p.s. He was accepted to all 3 private Catholic high schools that we applied to. read more

Shushan was skilled and helpful as my son navigated his high school math curriculum. She helped him in several courses and also through that tricky time during the pandemic. He learned so much from her, and we were grateful for her expertise. read more

Shushan is a wonderful tutor and was a godsend for my daughter as she prepared for the HSPT. She has a wonderful, kind and patient demeanor, and my daughter actually never complained when she had to go for tutoring- a true testament to Shushan. We will be using Shushan for more math tutoring going forward, she is a total gem!!! read more

Shushan is kind, patient, flexible, and thinks outside of the box when it comes to the way my child learns best. She is a real gem.

Thank you, Shushan! Shushan provides a professional environment for her students. She explains things clearly and thoroughly and always helps my boys understand the advanced math they are taking in school. She had also helped them with HSPT test prep with amazing results!! Thank you again, Shushan!! read more

Shushan worked with my high-school daughter first and she helped her understand math in a way that no one else could. If she couldn't have Shushan, she didn't want anyone! When my younger son needed tutoring in high school math, my daughter told him he had to see Shushan. He absolutely loved her as his tutor because she knew his learning style and worked within those parameters. He really felt that she understood him, that she had a knack for explaining things and patiently taught him in a way he could understand. In no small part, because of Shushan, he aced his math classes and did very well on his ACT. Now he's headed to a top ten university! We can't thank Shushan enough! read more

I can not recommend Shushan of Protégé tutor highly enough. She has been helping both of my high school kids with math and science. Shushan has a very calm personality and explains everything well. My children credit her with helping them obtain excellent grades. read more

I can't recommend Shushan enough for your child's test prep and/or tutoring needs. She prepared my daughter for both her high school ISEE and HSPT tests back to back, and helped raise her scores on both. Shushan is knowledgeable, kind, reliable, and flexible, and my daughter loved working with her. read more

Protege Tutoring is AMAZING! Shushaun paired my 13-year-old daughter (at the time) with Mariam. Mariam met with my daughter twice a week for about 2 months to prepare for high school ISEE and HSPT entrance exams. (We crammed, we don't recommend that. Try to start the summer before applying for high schools to start studying for any entrance exams.) My daughter's scores increased significantly from her pre-test to scores to her final test scores. She was accepted by great private and independent schools that she applied for and we believe that Protege Tutoring was an important part of her being accepted. Not only did Protege help her get into a great high school she also gained tremendous test-taking skills and confidence overall. We highly recommend Protege Tutoring! read more

Shushan is amazing! Both of my kids love her style of teaching. Shushan tutored my son for HSPT prep and we continued using her for his HS accelerated math. Now she is working with my daughter for HSPT prep. I can't say enough about her and what a difference she has made! read more

I am not one to write yelp reviews, although I do read them....but Shushan is such a gem that I must share! My daughter worked with Her all the way through high school including ACT prep. Shushan was wonderful with her, very supportive and was able to help her understand the specific areas that she was struggling in. My son is now working with her and has on and off for the past two years since preparing for the HSPT. He is a completely different student than my daughter, taking very different math classes than she did and Shushan is amazing with him as well. She communicates, is professional and is flexible! I can't say enough good things! read more

Thank you Shushan with her expertise, knowledge and unique teaching skill. She did more than teaching. She are also a wonderful mentor for my daughter and even for me as a parent. She made Math fun, easy to connect and same time challenging. My daughter used to feel discouraged and disliked math. Because of Shushan, my daughter now is loving Math with A's or B+ on the tests. She is willing to take more challenges on the subjects like Math. We are so lucky to know Shushan, thank you our friend Jacqui who's introducing us. read more

Shushan is a phenomenal tutor! She has worked with both of my boys, middle school and high school. It doesn't matter how challenging the concept she makes it both understandable and instills a level of confidence in the kids. My 7th grader always leaves so happy, not an easy task. As an educator myself, I can truly appreciate how talented and special Shushan is! read more
