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

Olivia C. says, "This company is a Godsend! We were paired with Coach Alex who helped our son work on basic computer skills including typing. Our boy has mild cerebral palsy so writing has been a challenge and it was recommended to learn how to type and navigate a computer. He has learned so much over the course of 20 lessons and we look forward to continued progress"See more

Rick E. says, "Brianna is helping me study for the elementary math Praxis test for the state. This math test covers everything from basic math skills to accelerated Algebra and geometry. She has broken steps down into manageable pieces so I could understand. I am learning math, and it is all due to her help! I need to pass math to be certified to teach science (long story). I am gaining confidence in my ability to pass the test with every session we have. Brianna is very patient, kind, and professional. I highly recommend her if you are struggling in any subject, but especially math."See more

Rodrigo P. says, "No PRO LIKES HIM ON THIS PLATFORM! I want to express my amazement after my first class with Prof. Alex, which was the onboarding orientation session I attended recently. I am very impressed with what he can do in class and how he works! The program is very professional and well-organized. It is structured so that you learn how to actually pronounce—many schools focus on teaching grammar and vocabulary but completely forget the third component that exists in our native languages, which is phonology, phonetics, or pronunciation—whatever you want to call it. Prof. Alex is that guy who handles this component so professionally that you succeed in each session with him! I’ve tried multiple phonetic exercises, and I immediately succeeded with them. Though this doesn’t mean I can speak like this right away, learning how to correctly articulate American English sounds improves overall speech! Prof. Alex has many advanced tools that make the process go very fast, and I am grateful for that— no one pros on this Thumbtack offers such opportunities. They offer you to read the text and follow them - but prof. Alex goes way further then that! You gotta try yourself! It’s very unique and special, and prof. Alex is a truly exceptional professional. I have no doubt I will be hiring him to help me succeed because I am a U.S. professional and need my skills to be top-notch for conferences, presentations, and simply talking with coworkers and friends! Thank you so much, Alex, and I look forward to starting my program. I highly recommend prof. Alex’s American accent program is one of the very best. Thanks for accepting me as your student!"See more
