Weve had the best experience with AJ tutors for both of my kids! My daughter has been receiving weekly help from Lianne Wong for 2.5 years in math. Her confidence and comprehension level has skyrocketed in the subject! Lianne is thorough and patient, willing to work with our student on her own terms.
We have had an amazing experience with AJ Tutoring. I panicked when my son received a low Chemistry test score and knew he needed tutoring help. AJ Tutoring was recommended to me. They immediately followed up with me and we ended up pairing my son with Christina. SHE IS INCREDIBLE! The expectations she set and communication with my son was fantastic. She is an expert in the material. My son learned so much. What I personally loved was that his self-esteem improved. He would show me his work when he completed an assignment and was really proud of himself that he understood what he was doing now. He would never been able to get there without Christinas help. I could not recommend her more highly!!!
I worked with AJ tutoring, specifically Michael Short, to prepare for the AP Calculus BC exam. I had to cover 3 new units as well as review old material in just 3 weeks, and I owe a huge part of my performance on the exam to Michael. He was super committed to making sure I felt confident and ready to take the test, and made learning fun and efficient. I 100% would recommend AJ and Michael to anyone looking to prepare for the exam!
My son is a junior in High School in NY and worked with AJ Tutoring (Joel Steinberg, specifically) in preparing for his AP exams. It was a fabulous experience! In addition to helping my son do his best to prepare for the exams, Joel was flexible with scheduling, great about communicating and a total pleasure to work with. And, the time difference was never an issue.
Im currently a sophomore in High School and was struggling with AP Calc BC. we tried out AJ tutoring, and everything was well organized and professional. I worked with Micheal Short, who helped me greatly with academic tutoring, and then more specifically AP test prep. I would most definitely recommend Micheal and AJ tutoring to anyone!
I owe a lot of my academic success, especially in all my high school math classes from Algebra 2 H to Calc BC, to AJ and Julian Simington. He has helped me solidify my knowledge on the concepts, as well as prepare and suceeed in important exams. The atmosphere was incredibly professional and the lessons were extremely informative; after every session going through the nuances and difficulties of the concepts, I felt more confident about the material. Really recommend Julian for math and AJ in general.
I’m a second year architecture student at Cal Poly and worked with Ramon Santos for my structural analysis classes. Ramon was a grad student and TA at cal poly and his experience and expertise greatly assisted me in my studies. I enjoyed working with him and will continue to in the future.
I met with Julian Simington for a Calc class and Stats class. He was incredible! He helped me fine tune the basics before we tried to tackle the harder subjects. He was easy to work with and very flexible. He was always available if I had small questions throughout the week and easy to get a hold of if needed. I got a B+ in both classes!
Im a senior in high school and I worked with Julian Simington for almost a year. He explained the material incredibly well and helped me ace my Statistics class!
Michelle Li with AJ Tutoring is fantastic! She has been tutoring my son in middle school Math this year. She is extremely organized, has been very encouraging and my son enjoys their sessions. She sends us a summary report after each session which is extremely helpful as parents to keep up with the progress, I highly recommend Michelle!
My tutor, Promise, has completely changed the way I approach my work. Shes thoughtful, a good communicator, and an overall amazing instructor. From the beginning, Promise quickly adapted to my learning style and shaped her sessions around active learning instead of lecturing. She isnt the kind to hand you the answer to a homework problem, she guides you through it and clarifies all components before asking a similar question that helps you solve yours. Promise is also extremely patient, and always willing to re-review concepts you mightve forgotten from the previous session. Not only has she taught me more in Chemistry, but shes taught me about time management, organization, and the importance of looking ahead. I am very fortunate to work with Promise throughout this school year.
When my high school sophomore was struggling with her Chemistry class, we decided to give AJ Tutoring a try. They were very responsive, setup the first session with our tutor Promise Lee within a day or two.Promise is extremely patient and kind with excellent teaching skills, she understands high schoolers pressure really well, always finds ways to guide and motivate my daughter. The whole experience had been very positive. After the winter break, Promise even called me to check on my daughters progress and discuss how to better support her. When it was time for SAT registration, Promise was the one who reminded us, and told us the various options.We are very fortunate to have found Promise. My daughter really enjoyed working with her.
Promise has been an amazing chemistry tutor. Her way of teaching really makes the topics easy to understand. She asks reinforcing questions to make sure that you truly understand the concepts at hand. Not only is she extremely knowledgable, but she is also a great person. Without her I wouldnt have done nearly as well in chemistry this year.
Promise has done a great job tutoring my son in Chemistry. She is very knowledgable of the subject and explained the concepts in a way that was easy for him to understand. Promise was focused not only on learning the concept at hand, but ensuring he understood the connections and how it all fit together. We highly recommend Promise!
So far, our experiences with AJ have been great. Our most recent one with Promise Lee has been exceptional - Promise has been an outstanding Chem tutor and mentor for my daughter (10th grade). Not only is she extremely knowledgable, she is super patient and very committed to helping her students in their overall academic performance. She helped my daughter, who was struggling in her Advanced Chem class, to improve and have better overall study skills. Promise is qualified, sweet, fun and passionate. I cannot recommend her enough!
AJ Tutoring has been consistently great! Joshua has helped me improve both my SAT and ACT scores in a well taught an engaging way. The strategies they teach really work, and I can see a clear improvement in many areas that I used to struggle with. 10/10 would recommend AJ Tutoring for test prep.
I love AJ tutoring so much!Kristin has been my SAT tutor for the past 10 months, and she really helped me improve my SAT score. The way she tutors makes the SAT a lot less stressful, and helped me conquer areas that I was not strong in. She is so supportive and has made this journey as best as it could have been for me. Kristin really cares about her students, and will put them first. She made me feel confident not just in the SAT, but as a student as a whole.Im really gonna miss our sessions:(
Lianne Wong is an outstanding tutor and Id highly recommend her! My son was in the honors math track at Paly and a very strong student. Hed not worked with a tutor previously and was looking for a deeper understanding of the material than he was getting in class. He worked with Lianne during the course of his sophomore year and was very happy with both her style and her deep background in Math. When he started he wasnt feeling confident in his understanding and at the end of the school year he was recognized as an outstanding student in his class. I thank Lianne for her terrific support and would definitely use her again.
I signed up with AJ for SAT prep, and my assigned tutor was Camille since I needed the most help with the reading section. Not only were they extremely competent and experienced with teaching the subject, they quickly adapted to my learning style, which helped my preparation progress very smoothly. Additionally, they were also very good at adapting their teaching style for the math portion. Because they were very competent at teaching and they went above and beyond the request that I put forth, I would definitely recommend this tutor for anyone who needs help not just on the SAT, but with reading and writing in general.
John Chinte, the Python tutor AJ paired me with, did an excellent job of walking me through the majority of the class’s content that I could not grasp in class. He slowed the pace down to individual, understandable concepts and helped me implement them into projects and homework assignments. He’s quite clear and very kind, and made my success in this class possible. By no means am I a great student in the classroom, but thanks to John, I had a chance! Cheers
Ramon has been extremely helpful in helping me with Calculus. Hes thoughtful, dedicated, and very much on top of things. Tutoring with him once a week has made learning Calculus much more enjoyable, and his thorough teaching style has helped fill the gaps in my knowledge. I would recommend Ramon to one of my friends in a heartbeat, as working with him has completely changed my learning experience.
I had Derek as my AP Physics C teacher, and he was phenomenal! He is very knowledgeable and clearly has a passion for teaching physics. He is very patient and helped me work through my homework problems and prepare before each test. I highly recommend!
I had a great time working with Susan on my literature subject test. She always has a positive and encouraging attitude and knows how to make learning difficult concepts interesting and fun. All of the homework and exercises we did were helpful and the sessions where we went over the homework and new topics were extremely useful.
I studied for the ACT with Sophia L and she was absolutely wonderful. Workload was good, explanations were clear and I learned many helpful test techniques which were specific to me. My score went up by 5 points since my first session. I would really recommend her, because if you choose to study for the ACT with her, you will be in great hands.
I spent lots of time looking for someone who could help me learn and truly grasp the nuances that exist in standardized tests (and school subjects!). Camille has helped me so much as a student. Not only has Camille effectively taught the material of several subjects, but Camille has also given me the confidence to believe that I know what Im doing. Camille is more than willing to continue explaining any topic, whenever I ask, and always knows when I dont quite understand whats going on. For anyone looking for a tutor, and friend, who can truly make a difference, look no further.
Kristin Jusi tutored me to help me get ready for the SAT and she was incredible! She was super thoughtful, knows the test really well and was able to answer all of my questions in ways that were clear and insightful. She gave me confidence in my test taking abilities and my scores really improved with her help over the course of a couple months. I recommend Kristin as a tutor if you want to work with someone who will treat you with respect and who is super knowledgeable.
I worked with Erik to prepare for my September 2015 ACT and would definitely recommend him and the company he is a part of to anyone who needs help with testing. He helped me cover every inch of the test in a timely manner, showed me specific strategies to improve my score, and because of how he tailored the program to my needs, did much more than any preparation book could have ever done. He gave me easy to apply instructions, anything from what to eat on test day to which passage to approach first on the reading section. He gave me manageable work to do in-between the sessions and then we reviewed it together. I have seen major improvement in my scores. Thank you Erik for your help!
Jared Greene at the Palo Alto AJ Tutoring was an amazing SAT tutor for my daughter! He not only helped her with the academic material, he also helped to motivate her and make her feel confident about taking the test. This help was particularly invaluable as many kids need the motivation and confidence more than the material. I highly recommend Jared.
Ramon Santos was very flexible, friendly, and helpful. I felt like I actually had a deeper understanding of the material I was learning and he always explained something in different ways if I didnt understand them. He also worked with me to look ahead at upcoming material and prep me for it. Overall great tutor and great place.
I really enjoyed my experience at AJ Tutoring! My tutor, Camille, was extremely supportive and helpful in the weeks before my ACT by giving me specific tips and strategies to improve on the reading and science sections. I also loved all the available practice material and strategies that Camille gave me to practice challenging math problems. I highly recommend AJ tutoring for ACT prep, especially if you are trying to hone in on those last few points!
My tutor, Carmel was very easy to work with, especially with scheduling last minute sessions. Going to this place has definitely given me way more confidence going into any test. I would highly recommend to anyone.
I did SAT tutoring with Camille and overall, I gained a lot from the techniques that they taught me to how to approach each section in a clear step-by-step approach. They teach in a interactive way rooting out potential problems and works on how to make it better. Was a great way for me to figure out the test.
AJ tutoring is a great place to go if you need help in any classwork. My tutor, Derek Updegraff was very patient with me the entire year that I tutored with him and was able to help me with every single problem that I had. He was also always able to fit me in at the last minute which was always very convenient when I needed help.
I was so pleased with AJ Tutoring. My daughter had Jared Greene for her ACT prep and he was AWESOME! He is extremely knowledgeable and always structured and prepared for each lesson, he was very clear and patient with her, he quickly understood her learning style, and he catered his teaching style accordingly. He was also very encouraging to her and made the entire process so much less stressful and intimidating. Her confidence (and her test score results) grew with each lesson and practice exam. And the icing on the cake -- he was very communicative with me and sharing with me her progress every step of the way. I would highly recommend Jared to anyone!
Camille is very positive and is extremely helpful in a one-on-one setting. I have gained a lot from tutoring such as honing in on strategies to help me raise my score on the SAT. The most important thing about Camilles private tutoring is how they help me excel in parts of the test which I am bad at. At the start of tutoring I was scoring low 1200s on the practice tests; now my most recent SAT practice score was 1530!
We are extremely pleased with our sons scores. Our son worked with Erik_Logan Hughes on SAT/ACT/SAT 2 test prep. Erik was awesome! He was friendly and understood my sons needs efficiently. My son came home from each tutoring session with nothing but great things to say about Erik. The Saturday morning practice tests were greatly helpful, and AJ Tutoring had flexible tutoring session times. I would highly recommend AJ Tutoring to others.
AJ Tutoring has been very helpful tool for academic help. The staff is so kind and the tutors are always looking out for you and ensure that any academic issues youre having are taken care of. My tutor Camille has been so kind and patient in teaching and helping me with math and english courses. I personally recommend Camille the support they have given me in my journey to improve my grades. AJ tutoring has been great to work with and suggest that anyone who needs help with school to sign up.
The tutoring here was super dope! I started tutoring here in the beginning of the semester because I wasnt doing so hot, and from the tutoring here I managed to finish the semester with a tight A. I particularly recommend Susan, shes pretty legit. I also did test prep for the SAT and SAT 2 which was lit as well as I scored high on both. Ive been to some pretty jank places for tutoring, and AJ definitely surpassed my expectations. I had a pretty sick time at AJ and I would highly recommend it to anyone else.
The tutoring here was great! My tutor, Carmel, got through a lot of material and practice without it being too time consuming or stressful. All the homework was helpful and the sessions helped keep me on track. I’d definitely recommend this for anyone that wants to do some test prep but also has other activities they are trying to balance.
I didnt really know what to expect when coming here, but I learned a lot of useful methods and tricks to take the test. Camille was a really helpful tutor and she helped me with figuring out how to deal with the SAT. If you are a person looking for strategy and methods for taking the test, this is a great place to learn those things. Otherwise, if you need just need practice, this place doesnt have as much material compared to other tutoring places.
Jared Greene is the most incredible ACT tutor I have ever met: He is incredibly smart, professional, and kind. He is easy to work with, and makes studying for these strenuous tests fun.Due to his training, I felt very comfortable taking the ACT, and therefore only had to take the ACT once. I highly recommend working with him. Thank you Jared!If you want to be immersed in a supportive tutoring environment, AJ is the place to go. I have tried other tutoring places, yet AJ is the only tutoring company that not only had all the tutors I needed in all my classes, but AMAZING tutors who really care about their students and want to see them succeed.
James Backlund was very helpful during the SAT sessions. He brought many different resources and explained concepts in different ways, in order to let me understand all of the material that was necessary. During all of the sessions he was also very positive and was always in a good mood.
Joshua helped my son with SAT prep, and could not have been a more effective or better tutor. Hes excellent, professional and understands how to work with both students and parents!
I highly recommend AJ Tutoring and my tutor Carmel Richard was excellent. She was helpful, supportive, kind and was very knowledgeable on the subject. I would definitely tutor with her again. Thank you Carmel for helping me with Latin!
We were fortunate enough have our son work with Jared Greene at AJ Tutoring. Not only did Jared help him perform very well on the SAT (we are thrilled with his score), but our son really enjoyed working with Jared. Jared is very professional, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable about what it takes to score well on the standardized exams.
My son had a great time at SAT prep classes at AJ Tutoring. The instructor, Jared, presented each session in such a way that my son couldnt wait for the next session. The strategy they taught, as well as all the practice tests, made him so comfortable that after the test, he came out smiling! Would recommend to help make a more confident student!
Derrick Okubo was my math tutor for the past four years. It was a delight working with him, as he made math my favorite and best subject throughout my years in high school. He explained every problems solution with finesse and clearness. Even through complaining about difficult math problems and not understanding anything, Derrick was extremely patient every single session, and it was worth every single minute,
Great tutors! You get to know your tutor very well, and times are usually flexible. Theres a warm environment, and snacks of course.
AJ tutoring was very worth my time. Though sometimes it was hard to get everything done for the next session, it helped me gain so much confidence on the ACT and in my academics in general. Matt, my tutor was so kind and considerate with my struggle with math and such and I am so thankful for this experience. I know that standardized testing is far from over, but if I am in need again, especially following college, I will utilize this organization. You guys rock! Thank you.
Carmel is an excellent tutor … we’re thrilled that my daughter got her. Carmel is smart, efficient, professional, and responsive. She really knows the material. Not only did my daughter do well on her SAT, she did even better on the ACT. Thank you, Carmel for your expertise!
This program really gave me the structured and disciplined schedule of practice which I was looking for to do well. I was also pleased by the large amount of practice resources available and the helpful feedback after each practice test from my tutor which helped me improve my score every time. Erik-Logan is smart and knows the techniques and inner workings of every problem and mistake I made on practice tests so that I can get a great score on the actual test!
Jared is everything you could ever hope for in an educator. He is professional, personable, engaging, encouraging, patient, and an absolute joy to work with. I worked with Jared for several months preparing for the GREs. Every session had a clear structure, but was always tailored to meet my individual needs. Jared excels at holding high expectations while still making our sessions enjoyable. He is an unusual combination of brilliance and humility. His passion for learning was contagious, and he genuinely cares for his students. My tutoring sessions with Jared delivered clear results. My experience working with Jared could not have been more positive.
AJ tutoring more than doubled the price of their test prep services going from $70 an hour to $150 an hour in less than a year. It’s likely they have further increased the cost since we last used them in 2016-17. None of this increase was passed along to the tutors they employ. Tutor turnover is high. The most cost effective tutors are college students and high school seniors who also seem to develop better rapport with students.In response to AJ Tutoring reply that they have never doubled their fees, I know for a fact that they have. A friend of ours was charged $70/hr for test prep at AJ Tutoring and therefore referred us to AJ Tutoring. When I told her that we were quoted $150/hr for test prep exactly one year later, she was horrified. She then contacted the tutor who had worked with her daughter. That tutor was no longer working for AJ Tutoring and also said the huge fees they charge parents are not passed along to the tutors.
I would highly recommend AJ tutoring. Carmel Richard was a great tutor. She knew the subject extremely well, she was kind, professional, and had a wonderful and supportive tutoring style. 5 Stars!!!
I really enjoyed the support and work of both Alvaro from Palo Alto (Spanish) and Justin from Menlo Park (Geometry). Their ongoing help made me into a better learner and resulted in reaching my goals. 10/10 for professionalism, teaching ability and support. Thanks guys!!
AJ tutoring provides not only the resources and environment for learning and higher scoring, but also dedicated and skilled tutors to guide you! I highly recommend Camille: she was attentive, knowledgeable, and always had a positive energy to bring to the class! Thank you!
I found my experience at AJ tutoring very rewarding. My tutor, Brian, was a very good teacher and made my sessions fun and engaging as well as informative. Overall, I recommend AJ to anyone preparing for testing or struggling with subject matter.
I enjoyed working with my tutor, Carmel, and she really helped me improve on my test taking skills. We worked on specific skills for taking and having more success on the SAT, but these skills that I developed carry over into my school work.
Awesome place that really warms up to you! I had Brian Yu as my tutor and he really became someone who I came to trust and depend on. It was very personalized work and really helped me focus in and get a score that was beyond what I was shooting for. Very pleased and definitely will be recommending and would recommend to others looking for a place to boost SAT scores.
Used AJ Tutoring for PSAT; SAT, SAT2 and AP prep for my son - since I found having him listen to someone other than a parent would work best in him focusing on the important things that needed to be accomplished during the critical junior year. They really helped him concentrate and I believe the one-on-one prep time helped build his confidence, reduce stress and give him strategic advice on how to approach each test which resulted in amazing results. Team is really quick to respond when you need an answer. I highly recommend them for any type of subject test tutoring; standardized test prep or just general help with classes.Angela Meyer, PhD, PE
(4 1/2 stars)We were looking for tutors to help with our son in math (BC Calc). He was looking for help in being able to work with someone to help clarify and go more in depth with the subject matter- as well as identify areas where he wasnt understanding concepts.The first tutor we were assigned to did not have the level of math expertise to help our son. It was not a good fit. I actually cut the session short.We contacted AJ Tutoring and expected to move on to find someone privately. The company contacted us right away to offer to ask if we wanted to meet with a different tutor. I did not have high expectations - but they were willing to have our son meet with Matt F. at no cost to us. The meeting went very well and we decided to continue our sessions with Matt F.. I cant say enough positive things about Matt F. He not only prepped ahead of each session (he asked me in advance of the first session, the name of the book our son was using, and what chapters to start with), but Matt was very amenable and capable of working with our sons style of learning. Matt F. was very professional, communicative and perceptive. He made very good suggestions on what our son should be doing outside of the tutoring sessions.My goal was not to get my son to achieve a specific grade (we were not shooting for As), my goal was to help our son feel like he could be successful in this math class, to feel comfortable with the material and to teach him to independently set up appointments, cancel ahead of time, and arrive on time! So basic life skills as well. And Matt was helpful in teaching Ryan those skills as well.I went into this as a skeptic - but ended up incredibly pleased and surprised at how helpful it turned out to be beyond just working on math skills.
AJ Tutoring helped me reach the goals I had set out for myself since the beginning. The tutors at AJ are unbelievably friendly, patient, understanding, and driven. They know their stuff and will do anything that is in their power to help you succeed. With AJ, I was able to try out both the SAT and the ACT at my own pace and see which one worked best for me. AJ Tutoring has made me more confident when facing any standardized test and has taught me test taking strategies I can keep with me for the rest of my life.
Working with Kristin really helped me improve my SAT skills and develop techniques specific to me. She worked with me to find methods that I could apply during the test and that changed my attitude towards the test and improved my scores.
Worked with Carmel for SAT tutoring. I would recommend her services for anyone trying to bump up his or her score. She’s great!
We have boy/girl twins who are juniors at Palo Alto High School. When we were looking for SAT tutoring I spoke with Jared and described their very different personalities. He listened carefully and could not have done a better job of picking such great matches as tutors for each of them. Were so grateful that this was the case. Were huge fans of Jared, their tutors, Colin Griffin and Emily Foster, and AJ Tutoring as a terrific resource.
Camille was really great in helping me to break down the test and see it from an objective and clear point of view. Up until I started taking classes with them, I often got confused and overwhelmed taking the test but, withtheir patience and clear guidance I was able to improve my scores greatly as well as my confidence and strategy usage.
Camille tutored my student for standardized tests. Camy is very organized, quick to discern where to focus efforts and provide feedback in a pleasant and professional manner! Would strongly recommend.
I enjoyed spending time learning and preparing for the ACT! It was very helpful to learn the rules and concepts with Carmel, especially in the English section. AJ Tutoring was a great experience!
Camille Sietz-Cherner was my tutor for the ACT and I absolutely loved working with them. They helped me identify issues with my test-taking strategy and helped me fix those issues in a logical, clear way. They were super flexible to my schedule too which I appreciated. Would definitely recommend working with Camille!
I am doing sat prep tutoring with Carmel and she is amazing!! She’s super patient and nice. She really helped me a lot :))
I did tutoring for the SAT, ACT and for subject tests and I learned a lot about the skill necessary for taking each of them. I probably wouldnt have the scores that I have now without the help from Kristin :)
AJ Tutoring is the a comfortable and lively learning environment! When you walk in you are greeted by kind staff that offer you free drinks and snacks. I particularly recommend the La Croix. The tutors here really know their stuff and help you with all kinds of things from studying techniques to specific areas where the student personally needs help. I am being tutored in Latin by Carmel Richard, and she is an optima magistra! I highly recommend checking it out if you are a student who is looking for help in a certain subject!
My son worked with Jared at AJ tutoring for the SAT and the subject tests. Thanks to his help he was able to reach perfect scores in Math, as well as improve significantly with the literature portions of the test. Evan felt he was very well prepared, and was able to perform at his best. We have already recommended AJ tutoring to many friends and will continue to do so!
Christina at AJ Tutoring provided expertise, experience, and encouragement for our daughter during the SAT and ACT prep process. Christina understood our daughter’s learning style. She had a clear idea of our daughter’s strengths and identified the areas where she could improve her test scores. We are thrilled with the test results and would highly recommend Christina and AJ tutoring.
AJ Tutoring is a really good company that can help you with subjects that you have trouble in or just need more work on. Personally, I was having a bit of trouble at math, as I was in the advanced lane. I came here and they set me up with Spencer. He really help me become confident at math and showed me, that with a little bit of practice, you could do it.
Very good experience and great results! Our daughter did both SAT and ACT tutoring. We really appreciated AJ Tutorings ability to cater to different personalities and learning types. Our daughter ended up scoring higher than expected on her SAT - she improved almost 300 points.We recommend it!
Our son worked with Erik on SAT and SAT 2 prep. Erik did a fantastic job of building a connection with our son and tailoring a prep program that really met his needs. AJs unlimited simulated practice tests are a great option. We really appreciate the service that Erik and AJ provided. We highly recommend Erik and AJ to all others.
AJ Tutoring is a great place to get help. I had Jared Greene for the ACT and he was fantastic. I highly recommend him.I also worked with Derek Updegraff for AB Calculus and he was great. I started the semester with a C and I am now at a high B and can possibly get an A in the class. He is easy to talk to and keeps the session fun while helping you with math. I have definitely improved my confidence in calculus and have learned so much from him. He is a great tutor and I would definitely recommend him.
My experience with Shak was really fun! He helped me understand SAT and ACT and taught me a lot of useful techniques. Id love to work with him again!
The tutoring here vastly improved my overall performance on the SATs, and provided me with helpful strategies and shortcuts to make the entire testing process much simpler. Furthermore, it improved my confidence and ability when taking the test. Good stuff.
Robert Jonas is an amazing tutor! He is my go-to person for both tutoring and test prep help. I first worked with him when I was in high school while preparing for both the SAT and ACT. With his help, I was able to get exceptional scores that (along with my GPA and extracurriculars) got me a half-tuition scholarship to my dream school. I also was tutored by him when I struggled with my advanced chemistry and biology courses in high school. He is very professional and amicable, and I never felt intimidated or embarrassed for needing help. He was understanding when it came to my school and work schedules, and he was always very accommodating. Most recently, he helped me prepare for the GRE. Again, he helped me surpass my score goals and I have been accepted to my top choice for graduate school. Overall, Robert Jonas is exceptional in all respects and I highly recommend any and all services of his. He will be my choice again when I begin to study for the MCAT!
Camille Seitz-Cherner was a great tutor for the SAT Reading and Writing. They were able to help me learn new strategies that got me much better scores on the passages. I highly recommend them for SAT prep at AJ.
Camille Seitz-Cherner is an impressive and hard working tutor who works towards and focuses on her students individual needs by helping them achieve their goals. She is always bright and positive, and is very organized when it comes to scheduling and daily reports to parents. I recommend her as a tutor.
I was tutored at AJ tutoring for the SAT. Jared Greene, my tutor, pinpointed my areas of need and helped me improve. My Critical Reading and Writing scores combined improved by 300 points! Due to the tutoring my SAT score improved to a score that not only I was more than happy with, but along with other factors helped me get into my top choice, the University of Chicago!
Alvaro has helped me a lot this past year with Spanish 3 honors. He was able to help with any question I had and my speaking has also improved significantly thanks to his help.
We had a very good experience at AJ Tutoring. My daughter worked with Joshua Lee to prepare for the ISEE and SSAT tests. Joshua was able to give her test-taking tips to hopefully increase her score -- particularly for the verbal sections of the tests. She also was able to come to AJ Tutoring for a full practice SSAT test which was also very helpful. Joshua is an excellent tutor. My daughter did increase her score on the tests after working with Joshua. We would definitely seek him out again for future academic or testing help.
Hamidi showed up quickly and had my rover sadly tied down . Nice guy greeted me with a smile and made me feel like he like his job
Jared did an excellent job with an SAT Prep class for our daughter, who scored so well on her first SAT, that she doesnt feel the need to take it a second time nor take the ACT or the upcoming new SAT at all. Highly recommend their SAT prep class.
I had Camille Seitz-Cherner as my tutor and she helped me with my writing. First, she helped me improve my reading strategies so that I comprehend more of what I read which has really helped me not only for my English class, but also for the SAT. She has also taught me how to make effective outlines which have definitely improved the quality of my essays. She is incredibly kind and nice, I am super glad i got to know her!
Everyone at AJ is super friendly and working with my tutor has helped me prepare and improve my scores on many tests. They have great resources and materials and are very accommodating to help you!
When our daughter was preparing for the PSAT/SAT, my wife freaked out given how high the averages have risen since when we were students. We were recommended AJ Tutoring. Initially we were somewhat skeptical, since test prep was practically nonexistent in our day. Not to mention the tutor AJ recommended was one of our college TAs (whom we did not utilize either in college)! But, we are very glad that we signed up because Rob Jonas was an excellent test prep tutor. In a few sessions, he raised our daughters score more than we ever imagined was possible. More importantly, our daughter truly enjoyed working with him and raved about his humor and insight. Definitely time and money well-spent! Thanks Rob!
Working with a great calculus tutor Marich! Always very happy and fun but also very knowledgeable about math and science in general. Very helpful!!
Camille helped me improve my test-taking skills and I now feel a lot more confident about taking the SAT.
Splendid place, it depends on your tutor, but I had Derrick Okubo and he was excellent through two years of Paly math. Great communication and very helpful during IAC and AP Calc AB, would recommend!
Camille was very knowledgeable in the subject matter, and helped raise my SAT scores a lot. She was also very nice and professional.
Brian Yu is such an amazing tutor! Even if tutoring for standardized testing is not everyones idea of fun, I really enjoy my sessions with Brian. He has helped me with my english grammar and reading and has worked very hard to help me with the science section of the ACT. Whether he is drawing a picture of a frog on a log to demonstrate prepositions or if he is explaining a math question to me he always makes me laugh. Brian always has multiple ways of answering my questions and always makes sure that I am not confused. I would definitely recommend Brian as your tutor.
AJ tutoring set me up with my tutor, Todd Lavine, right away. He answered all of my questions and had a plan to break up the test into digestable, manageable sections. He was always prepared with a mini lesson on each new topic when we had a session and presented the material in a variety of different ways (IE drawing on the whiteboard, using sample questions etc). I always look forward to seeing Todd, and I know that he always helps me to the best of his ability because he honestly wants me to do well. My practice SAT score has improved over 200 points thanks to Todd and I feel ten times more prepared for the SAT than I did before I cam to AJ!
My tutor, Brian Yu, really helped me gain a better understanding of specific test taking strategies that allowed for me to be more confident in my abilities while taking the ACT. Best tutor ever!!!
I came to AJ Tutoring looking for a way to increase my ACT scores fast. Camy helped me on all four sections and the essay, and I became a much better test taker. Camy is very organized, patient, and was always able to notice patterns of mistakes I was making. Camy also knows many test-taking strategies and tailors to my needs.
I had Camy (Camille Seitz-Cherner) as a tutor for the SAT and ACT this past spring. Starting from our first meeting together, Camy made sure to make a clear schedule and direction we would follow before the test dates. During our sessions, Camy helped me improve my scores on each practice test, go in depth on material I was struggling with, and always made sure to ask if I was fully comprehending the material. I always felt I had improved by the end of the session and learned something beneficial I could use to improve my score by the next exam. I would definitely recommend them as they helped my score, taught me new strategies for all tests in my future, and gave me new knowledge Ive brought with me in my high school academics as well. Thanks Camy!!
