Lucy J. says, "I am very impressed how Prof. Alex polished my accent, and I am extremely thankful for Prof. Alex’s mentorship and teaching. He is truly the best! Speaking English was very difficult for me, and I always doubted my speaking skills, thinking I wasn’t good enough. However, after completing the American Accent program with Prof. Alex, my English improved dramatically, and I feel so proud of myself. I speak very close to a native American accent—and that is more than enough. I’ve stopped overthinking how I speak, and now I can comfortably participate in conversations at work, with my family, and with friends. I watch movies and shows and understand everything—and trust me, Alex taught me how to do that! That’s a skill worth learning. Thank you so much, Prof. Alex. Nobody was able to do what you did! You are truly exceptional. I also want to mention the price because it’s important to understand: they say, “You get what you pay for,” and it’s true. I tried coaches charging $25 or $50, thinking it would help—but it didn’t. Prof. Alex isn’t cheap, but he is absolutely WORTH IT!"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

Hannah A. says, "I’ve been going from tutor to tutor trying to improve on my ACT score since I want to get into an Ivy League, and I found that learning with Michelle was the greatest help by far. With a month or two of consistent practice and dedication with focus on the areas of struggle I told her I needed help on (and struggles she discovered while working with me), my overall score improved from a 26 to a 31! She has a professional and effective teaching style which I believe helped me to reach my score goal which I’m really thankful for. Now I feel more confident in submitting my score to Ivy League schools!"See more
