I saw that my brother was doing so well in his weaker subjects within a short time. I used joe starting out from when I was in middle school. I remember I had a very challenging algebra class and once Joe came into the picture to help, my next test was an A. My teacher was amazed of how well I improved in such a short amount of time! Through middle school and high school Joe was a great resource for helping me to understand various classes such as algebra one and two and even Spanish and essay writing. When he was unable to help me with a subject in high shcool he was always able to match me up with one of the tutors in his network. They also worked very well for me! Another great thing about Joe was that he was easy to get along with. He was a great listener and really pin point my weak areas and helped me get through them. I really started getting into the habit of studying where as before I wasnt motivated. In the end, I was able to study much less and achieve even better grades; all because things were broken down in ways that were easy to digest mentally. I'm now finishing up my freshman year in college and have retained many of the study habits and skills that were impressed upon me throughout my formative years.

Their friendly and skilled tutors were able to help me increase my SAT score and earn 5's and 4's on nine AP exams. The tutors are very understanding and always willing to help you out wherever you struggle. The 2-hour tutoring sessions are very intimate, and extremely helpful if you struggle with Physics, Calculus, or Computer Science. Their tutors know everything!

With the amazing help of C2 I was able to get into USC, my dream school, and many other top schools.

My math grade has soared as a result of his teaching and because of him, I am able to fully understand the course content. Mr. Alemansour has helped me with Geometry, Algebra, and Statistics.

Not only was he able to tutor both calculus AP and Physics AP, he had an engaging personality one doesn't often see in the math and science folks and a good sense of humor to boot. With Alex's help my brother is much more confident in both courses and is getting through these two very difficult classes with an A in Calculus AP and a B+ in Physics AP.

He was so flexible and accommodating since it was very last minute and I also work. I have had two sessions with him since and it was great! He met me at the library right near my house which was really convenient. I was really struggling in the first session and he even stayed for an extra hour to help make sure I was ready for my quiz the next day. I went into the session not knowing anything about pre-calc or trigonometry and I got a 12/10 on my quiz the next day. I would definitely recommend PV tutors to anyone in the South Bay!
