Victor worked with 2 of my daughters and helped the girls get their SAT scores up dramatically. He was very methodical and both of my daughters did so well with his guidance. He is patient and knowledgeable and has a thorough way of guiding them through the process of ways to increase scores. He helped them to think in a more comprehensive way. I loved that he gave them assignments and tasks to do and it took the pressure off. He demonstrates the utmost professionalism and I had no hesitation about leaving them alone to work. He also starts promptly with time of the essence. He gives the full time devoted to the task. Victor goes out of his way to communicate with the student and parent and was just a pleasure. One daughter is at U of Wisconsin-Madison and loving it, and the other is an early decision acceptance at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. These were their first choice schools!

I first spoke with Victor about AP biology tutoring for my son. Victor always replied quickly and gave my son a full study plan for his class and the AP test. We started with tutoring at home and also had a few online sessions using Skype and Victor's whiteboard app which really helped my son, especially when he was getting over a flu. My son said he learned more in a month with Victor than he learned in a semester in class. I also called Victor again for ACT test prep for my daughter. He connected me with one of his great tutors, Josh, who was also patient and professional. My daughter really increased her scores in English, Reading, and Science thanks to Josh and Victor's guidance. I'd highly recommend Victor and his team for AP and ACT test prep. Thank you both!

Victor is a genuine, intelligent, creative person, and an excellent tutor. I refer him with great confidence. Victor has an admirable ability to relate to different types of personalities and learning styles. He not only adapts his teaching to our daughters' unique situations, but seems excited by the challenge. Our children attend different high schools, and have their own unique talents and learning styles and challenges. One attends an academically rigorous private high school, while the other attends an academically challenging, local public school. Victor has tutored them both. Whether it's SAT tutoring or weekly math and bio, or a brush-up before finals, Victor is there. He is prompt, professional, highly competent and above all, energized by teaching. He asks questions. He does not spoon feed; rather, he takes the time to help our daughters discover the answers for themselves. My 17 year old earned a great SAT score, and a substantial 4-year scholarship to the university of her choice. She applied early-action to three schools, and gained admittance to them all. We credit Victor for helping her realize this dream. I now look forward to what my younger daughter will achieve, with his help, as he not only teaches her in the way she needs to be taught, but he cares. She knows this. He establishes a genuine relationship with his students; he helps them gain confidence, and trust themselves. I honestly cannot say enough about Victor, and the impact he has made on our family. He takes the worry and the (dare I say) struggle out of high school, creating space for my husband and I to be more supportive and less "annoying" to our children. It is a relief and a comfort to know such an intelligent, good person has our daughters' and therefore our own backs. Both of our girls' confidence and academic achievement have soared under Victor's tutelage.

Victor Solis is a crucial part of our daughters high school curriculum. He is able to help her with weekly tutoring sessions, but also is available through electronic devises as needed. A very valuable service, as high school can be so unpredictable.

I provide a free academic breakthrough session to help a student clarify her goals, identify hidden obstacles, and start taking action to succeed on her path to success. I then recommend the tutoring or coaching programs I offer and we can usually start sessions the same week. If I am unavailable or do not cover the subject matter needed by the student, I will recommend one of my experienced team members to provide service.
