Hi there! My name is Simon, and I’ve been supporting students with special needs since I was a kid myself and doing so professionally since graduating college. I have 3 years of classroom experience and hold full teaching credentials in all subjects for grades K through 12 in both California and Ohio. I understand how hard it can be to find the right person to work with your child—someone who can build trust, provide structure, and adapt to their unique learning style. That’s exactly what I aim to do. I specialize in working with students who have IEPs, ADHD, autism, or executive functioning challenges, and I tailor every session to fit their needs not just academically, but emotionally. As a positive male role model, I focus on helping students build confidence and develop real-world learning strategies. I also help kids understand how to use modern tools like AI responsibly as a way to support learning, not replace it. If you’re looking for someone patient, reliable, and deeply invested in your child’s progress, I’d love to connect and learn more about how I can support your family.See more

Samantha G. says, "Our tutor Minh helped my son with his Calculus BC assignments and we noticed a significant improvement in only 4 weeks of lessons 2x per week 45 minutes each. we have tried other tutoring services but we are the most happy with this one. We also used a second tutor from this company for Chemistry and English which was also very helpful."See more

Rudy C. says, "I worked with Matt from October 2024 till February 2025 in preparation for my LSAT. In the first month alone, he helped me raise my score 10 points, a huge leap for this test! Matt pays close attention to detail and really puts in the work to develop a gameplan that works for you. Aside form all that, his prices are incredibly reasonable, and he's more than willing to work with you in that regard. There aren't enough great things I can say about Matt and his work as my tutor. If you need help preparing for the LSAT, the GMAT, or other similar tests, he's your guy, and I would HIGHLY recommend him!"See more

Kerry H. says, "Our family is forever grateful for finding Lily! She has completely changed the trajectory of our daughter’s educational journey. Lily has many years of experience as a teacher and reading tutor, and is certified as a Wilson Reading Program instructor, which is considered the gold-standard reading program to teach dyslexic children. Lily is experienced, patient, and dedicated to helping our daughter succeed. Our daughter made amazing strides working with Lily for the last two and a half years and is now able to read grade level texts. Her fluency, decoding and comprehension have all improved and most importantly, her self-esteem has increased so much that now she volunteers to read in class! We recommend Lily to everyone who’s child struggles with reading."See more
