Supercharge your brainstorming with ethical AI. We'll show you how to leverage tools like ChatGPT while staying true to your own voice. Gain inspiration, refine structure, and spark new ideas without compromising academic integrity.

Success Stories from Our Student Families

Perfect 1600 SAT Score

1600 SAT! Great Tutor! Thomas is a great SAT Reading tutor! He helped my child score 1600 on the SAT! He is very knowledgeable, friendly, and encouraging. He is always punctual and accommodates our schedule. Thomas is a pleasure to work with and gets results! Thanks, Thomas!

-Judy

Broad Personal Growth & Study Skills

Knowledgeable and reassuring tutor. As a parent, I was looking for a tutor to work specifically on study skills and strategies for my high school student's test taking, in general. Thomas answered all of my questions before they got started, spent the time to explain his process, and is now putting that process into action. In one meeting, he's started the process that I've been working on or searching for, for years. He works hard to be relevant to my student. I definitely recommend Thomas as a tutor.

-Rachel

+80 Points on Reading in 4 Lessons

Highly Recommended SAT Tutor! I contacted Thomas after my daughter took the SAT twice and her highest score on Reading/Writing was 650. She only had 4 lessons (which made me nervous), but she assured me she understood what to do. Her score went up to 730 (8 wrong on reading and only 1 wrong on grammar) thanks to Thomas! He has my highest recommendation.

-Shelley

+260 Points on the SAT

Thomas has been tutoring my daughter for the SAT for months. They meet online once/week. This last time, her score went up 260 points! His easygoing nature and sense of humor make her sessions enjoyable instead of boring. I would highly recommend Thomas for Math and English tutoring. He seems well balanced in both.

-Laine

Eases Anxieties & Inspires

Thomas is very intelligent, hard working, and patient. He can ease students’ anxieties and will be inspirational for anyone who wants to achieve the goal. His instructions are not only based on comprehension but also on specific study techniques for the best results. If you want your child to succeed, don't hesitate to start tutoring sessions with Thomas. We are so glad we did.

-Albert

+200 Points on the SAT

Our son began working with Thomas last summer, before junior year. We started with an 1160 PSAT score sophomore year, and were shooting for a 200-point increase for the SAT. This past December, our son scored 1360 on the official SAT. The lessons with Thomas definitely helped. Having hit our initial target, we plan to continue working for an even higher score. Thomas is patient, established a great rapport with our son, and we definitely recommend him for students who want to work hard, learn useful strategies, and improve their scores.

-Dana

Beyond Expectations!

Awesome tutor! Helped my sons immensely! Beyond expectations! Thomas is great. Highly recommend him. He has helped both my sons achieve much higher scores! Thomas is methodical in his teaching and keeps track of students' progress.

-Lori

Boosted Reading & Writing Scores

Patient, explains complex topics very well. Thomas M. helped me understand strategies and methods to improve my reading scores within a couple of lessons. He has boosted my SAT Reading/Writing scores and my overall reading scores for school as well. In addition, he brings a very classroom-style approach which is organized and uses student reflections throughout the lesson.

-Suja

Skilled in Math & Reading

Fabulous tutor! Thomas is a wonderful tutor for our daughter. He was thorough, patient and clearly skilled in imparting math and reading strategies. We are continuing with pleasure.

-Leslie
