Potomac Oak Tutoring (POT) has been my family’s choice to prepare both of my children for college, and both got into their number one college choice. Teachers are very good in their job preparing the students on what they really need to succeed in their College Admission tests. No waste of time.Elisa is very professional, knowledgeable and experienced. I highly recommend POT and especially Elisa as a College Councelour. Worth every penny !
They believed in my ability to learn. Taught topics well. I left every session with a smile because I was learning so much new relevant information. Surprisingly funI did private and group lessons for ACT prep. Private English and Math tutoring sessions were the most pleasant and helpful.
Potomac Oak Tutoring has been an integral part of my growth as a student and as an individual over the years. All of the tutors and college counselors are committed to your success and maximizing your potential. They have always made my family and me feel welcome, as they have created a positive and uplifting learning environment. I cannot recommend Potomac Oak Tutoring enough!
Went here for both tutoring and college prep when I was in high school. The tutors are all absolutely wonderful, supportive, and I honestly really enjoyed it! Elisa really helped me improve my writing skills, and Pavel and Alex definitely helped me get a solid ACT score in order to get into my dream college too :)
The management team have great ethics. No hard selling of their services. Instead you get honest feedback, and even better, you dont get locked into paying hefty fees in advance for hours and hours of tuition that your child doesnt need. The AP and SAT tutors are excellent both face-to-face and via Zoom.
Tutors know exactly how to teach, they know how to help you with anything, probably the best place to go for any standardized ACT/SAT test practice or general college application help. The debate instructors and members are also accessible and experienced. Standard tutoring, ACT/SAT sessions, and public forum debate sessions are all recommended.
If you’re thinking of getting tutored/ having your children tutored here you should 100% do it. I got tutored here for the ACT and all of the sessions the tutors gave were always so engaging, even though i’m not a huge fan of doing work I always enjoyed going online and having a session with them. Despite being online, they are still such amazing tutors who go above and beyond for their students.They are so good at tirelessly practicing with you, and they always make sure that you have every topic down and are patient when you don’t. My score went from a 26 to a 34 with them. They not only help with the skills, but also with test anxiety. I used to have horrible test anxiety, but with them I really got over that and went into each test with confidence.Their mocks are very accessible and they give great words of encouragement and pacing techniques. Their tutoring is extraordinary and all of the tutors were amazing to work with, kind, funny, and personal. They personalized my plan and helped me on my trajectory to a good score on the ACT!! Thank you so much to Pavel, Jason, and Nancy for all of the effort and help you lent me during my time at potomac oaks!!
I worked with Potomac tutoring when I was in high school and I was not the best at school. I had some potential and Potomac Tutoring was a benchmark in me starting to realize that potential and more importantly actually enjoy learning. I just graduate college with a scholarship and am now in a PhD program at JHU. Thank you to Pavel, Jason, Elisa, and Alex for helping me!
Great at getting you the mentorship that you need most, whether that’s a specific test subject or college application struggle. Highly recommend!
Pavel, Kevin, and Alex are not only professionals at what they do, but are very friendly and easy to approach. I was able to pass Calculus and English thanks to them. They are also very understanding when youre not feeling too good and just want to complain10/10 would recommend
Elisa assisted me in writing outstanding college application essays and guided me in the college application process. She helped me get into an amazing university!
Buyer be aware. Be 100% sure before you sign up. My son started to attend the debate class. Instead of in person, the class is now offerred via Zoom meeting. The experience is sub par and the fee is the same as inperson class. After the minimum 3 day coof off period required by law, it is impossible to get your refund, even with dissatisfactory experience. I can only call the practice PREDATORY.
Potomac oak tutoring helped me immensely. i would’ve been completely lost with the college process if it weren’t for their service. everyone who helped me (whether it was ACT tutoring, college counseling, or help with schoolwork) was kind, professional, and helped me reach my full potential as a high school student and college applicant!
Great workplace, friendly culture
These tutors are the real deal. Not only do they know the material but they are also passionate about teaching it. Their approach revolves around actually teaching students what they need to know as opposed to having them memorize formulas and facts. This methodology will help students retain the information in both the short and long term. The wide offering of services makes it ideal for any and all students.
As someone who has gone to school with the tutors for nearly 6 years, I know from first hand experience their dedication and work ethic. And it is probably why they are so successful at what they do. They were not only at the top of their class for the majority of their academic careers but their constant drive to learn and be curious was contagious. But perhaps most importantly, these guys are able to dilute complex information into simple concepts, a rare quality found in other tutors. They are personable and willing to help, putting the needs of their students first. From biology to writing to math, Potomac Tutors can help even the most underachieving student become a lifelong learner.
Excellent! They are extremely responsive and helpful! My daughter has benefitted immensely from their help! Highly recommend.
Virtual class experience is terrible.
Nice tutors and debate class.
