Josh was an awesome SAT tutor for my son, increasing his scores 110 points in just a few weeks of tutoring. Prior to Josh, my son was enrolled in a commercial SAT prep course: 3 hours on Friday evenings and six hours on Saturdays along with 11 other students. My son did not respond well to the group setting. These sessions could not hold his attention, and it became a weekly battle to get him to go. After a few weeks, he quit the course and decided that individual tutoring would be a better option. Joshs style of personalized attention offered my son the back and forth interaction he needed to maintain interest and motivation. He had a great depth of knowledge (Yale graduate), as well as a warm and personal demeanor. He took the time to understand my sons individual style of learning and identified the areas with which he needed more assistance. In summary, my son benefitted greatly from Joshs talents, and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing one-on-one and personalized attention.

Working with Josh is really amazing! He really makes me understand every little thing I have a problem with. He helped me with SAT and made me understand everything way better. Any time I had a question on a problem Josh always knew the answer. He also gave me great tips for the SAT.

Josh was wonderful with my daughter, not only helping her with tips and formulas for the ACT test, but also helping her self confidence. I would/will give him a 5 star rating once we get her test results back!

Josh spent quite a while helping to prepare my wife's essays. He did it in the time which was convenient for us and the result was outstanding. Great scientific language as well as writing. He was the best college enrollment couch. Thanks Josh.

Josh helped my son study for ACT/SAT as well as work through college essays. For the standardized tests, Josh was very organized in terms of what areas my son needed to focus on and they had a workplan to address the different areas of focus. We were very pleased with the test scores. On the essays, Josh took time to hear my son's "voice" and made sure that was what was articulated in the essays. Josh is great and has a very calm and friendly personality that is a blessing in this stressful time for the family.
