Highly recommended. My son was a little hesitant to work with a virtual tutor, but Karl quickly made him feel at ease and comfortable with his approach and how they would work together. The sessions were focused and valuable, with clear and manageable homework between sessions. My son proactively asked for more time with Karl - a great sign that he was learning and getting noticeable value for himself. His practice SAT scores improved significantly (nearly 300 points) over the course of 6-7 weeks. Our family will be working with Karl again in the future for sure!

Karl was awesome! We had a short time span due to poor planning on our part but Karl was able to fit us in to his schedule. My son picked up a lot of info in the time he had with Karl and he was confident walking into the SAT. He really enjoyed working with Karl and so did I. Easy communication and solid tutor!!! Highly recommended!

I am delighted to provide a glowing recommendation for Karl, our exceptional SAT tutor. From our very first interaction, Karl exhibited a remarkable commitment to helping my son Jacob succeed in the SATs. Karl's dedication to his work became evident right from the start. His quick response to my initial inquiry about the SAT sections and his flexibility in accommodating our time zone for scheduling sessions demonstrated a strong desire to make the learning experience as convenient and effective as possible. One of Karl's key strengths lies in his ability to accurately identify my son's weak points and assign appropriate materials for review. His tailored approach ensured that my son was consistently working on areas that needed improvement, allowing for targeted and efficient learning. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of Karl's tutoring is his patience and thoroughness in reviewing incorrect answers with detailed explanations. He took the time to ensure that my son not only understood the correct answers but also the underlying concepts. As a result, my son's grasp of the material deepened significantly in all areas covered by the SAT test. The materials Karl provided were not only comprehensive but also highly relevant to the topics that needed to be addressed. This not only facilitated effective preparation but also boosted my son's confidence in tackling the SATs. Karl's communication with parents is noteworthy. After every lesson, he kept us informed about our son's progress, providing a sense of transparency and allowing us to stay actively engaged in the learning journey. In summary, we wholeheartedly recommend Karl to anyone seeking to achieve high SAT scores. His rates are not only reasonable but, more importantly, the service he provides is nothing short of exceptional. Thanks to Karl, my son not only gained valuable SAT test-taking techniques but also developed a deep understanding of the topics covered in the test. We couldn't be more satisfied with the results and the overall experience. Karl is an outstanding SAT tutor, and his services are absolutely worth every penny.
