I can give the highest recommendation for working with Laura Kosbie. My daughter worked with Laura throughout the spring to prepare for a June AP Statistics exam. Math, in general, is not a subject that comes easily for my daughter, and that also included AP Statistics. We were looking for a tutor whose approach was kind and supportive, but also structured and efficient. Laura was fantastic with establishing a strong rapport with my daughter, and was able to assess her needs, dive in, and truly improve my daughters understanding of statistics. Occasionally, I would overhear their sessions, and Laura asked great questions that helped my daughter to understand where she had misunderstood or misapplied a concept. My daughter would come away from a tutoring session feeling much more confident about her abilities to master the material. Laura was also great about understanding schedule conflicts with sports, when those situations arose. The upshot is that my daughter came to Laura as a student who was struggling in the AP Statistics class at school, to a student who passed the AP Statistics exam and earned college credit for it. Most of my daughters success on the exam can be credited to Lauras skills as a tutor (along with dedication and effort on my daughters part). Laura is the person to go to if you are looking for a knowledgeable, effective, and reliable tutor with a great personality that will make your student feel very welcome and very comfortable doing AP Statistics.

Kristal Jameson is an incredible tutor! She is great at teaching concepts, a good listener, patient, attentive, and, overall, has been instrumental in my ability to perform in my math class. I would highly recommend Kristal as she is not only a great tutor but easy-going and easy to talk to. David Barton is another amazing tutor that has coached me on the intricacies of the ACT exam. He is great at teaching concepts quickly and has been key in preparing me for the ACT exam.

I would highly recommend Nick for AP English Lang and Comp tutoring as well as AP Lang and Comp test prep. Nick is enthusiastic, knows his subject well, and is results-oriented.He created an individualized tutoring program for me based on my strengths and weaknesses and kept my goals in mind. I felt well prepared for the AP English Lang and Comp test and overall became a more competent writer.

I worked with Nick Deehan for about a year for my advanced English class. Nick was really easy to communicate and connect with which made me comfortable asking questions and sharing ideas. When helping me with my writing, he pushed my ideas without giving away the exact answer, helping me learn how to build and structure ideas better when I’m writing by myself. Nick also helped me find precise language to make my ideas stronger. Additionally, he was really quick to reply to emails, allowing me to reach out to him for help on school assignments that I only had a few days to work on. Overall, I really enjoyed working with Nick and felt that he gave me skills that I can now implement in my own writing. I look forward to working with him next year.

Nick is a very helpful tutor and I learned a lot from him. My English grades are a lot better now thanks to his help and my writing became a lot stronger. He is also very chill and easy to talk to which makes his lessons a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend coming to AJ tutoring!

Stephen Horabin is an excellent tutor. He really understands the ins and outs of the SAT and explains difficult concepts in a way that everyone can understand. Because of his tutoring I got a high score on my first SAT attempt and no longer need to worry about it.

My best friend and tutor, Ms. Elizabeth Maureen Emery, has been my tutor forever and ever. So naturally, when it was ACT time, I was like Help! And she did!!!!! She improved my ACT score by 5 points! Our weekly sessions are the highlights of my whole life. I honestly dont need tutoring anymore but I go just for E-dawg #YUP! #BobaSoon

The best tutoring place EVER!!! The teachers are so nice and they make sure you understand everything, sometimes they even connect with your teachers and tell them that your on track. Dont think twice about coming to AJ. My favorite tutor is Ashton Beth, she is very nice and funny and engages with you.

Had a great experience with AJ Tutoring. Stephen Horabin was an excellent tutor. Really knows all the strategies to help you do your best on the SAT or whatever test or goal it is you want to accomplish. Hes a really positive and good hearted guy as well who will have patience as well as encouragement with your kid. Highly recommend him, overall the environment at the AJ Tutoring center is also very welcoming and everyone is extremely kind there.

I cannot put in words how grateful I am to have gone to AJ Tutoring to do my ACT prep. My tutor, Stephen Horabin, was such a pleasure to work with. He explained concepts very well, made sure I understand the problem in its entirety before moving on, and always kept me in such a positive mood. Normally, when you approach a teenager about standardized testing, the word fun is most likely the last word that would pop up. But, through working with Stephen, I actually found my ACT prep to be highly enjoyable. I even surprised myself with my excitement to take more practice tests... Throughout my ACT prep, Stephen helped me improve my score dramatically. Id really like to thank AJ Tutoring and Stephen Horabin for all his guidance in throughout my ACT prep journey.

Mathieu was a really helpful ACT tutor. He was especially helpful when tutoring me on the math portion of my test because I struggled to remember many of the concepts. He taught me the math concepts in a very understandable way. He was very patient and I never felt judged during those tutoring sessions. The San Carlos location was also pretty comfortable. I would definitely recommend AJ Tutoring to my friends looking for an ACT tutor.

Great experience with Stephen as my son’s tutor for SAT prep! He takes a very pragmatic approach and appreciated his experience, guidance and adaptability on how to manage SAT prep and my son’s intense junior year IB workload. He was excellent at communicating and very easy to work with. Highly recommend!

I 100% recommend AJ Tutoring. They offer a variety of subjects including test prep. My SAT tutor, Stephen Horabin, helped my score improve over 100 points from my first practice test to my final SAT. His lessons are efficient and comprehensive. He cares about his students and makes sure they are confident in their skills. I was more than prepared for my SAT and only had to take it once!

Elizabeth was an excellent teacher for the SAT class. She was very friendly, welcoming, and helpful with a great sense of humor as well. The office is very nice and aesthetically pleasing with a great selection of complimentary snacks. This program was very useful and helped me learn tips and tricks for the SAT. After the first week of class, my score improved significantly.

Review №19

Going into my first tutoring session I had an 1160 PSAT score, and it was imperative that I brought it up on the real SAT. With the help of Stephen I was able to get an incredible 1390 on the December SAT. The knowledge and professionalism extended by AJ Tutoring is what saved my college prospects; the lessons that Stephen taught me were well thought out and got to the core of the questions. The most profound thing to me was how much the team cared. They did everything in their power to make me feel comfortable. They showed never ending compassion which further extended my ability to succeed. They allowed me to be confident in my ability to go to a top school of my choice. There is no group of people Id rather have as tutors than AJ Tutoring.

We took our 5 year-old daughter to AJ Tutoring. Teacher Katie was so calm and patient with her. She really gave our child the confidence to learn how to read and prepped her when she started kindergarten. She knew how to engage with our kid and we were able to see improvements in her reading in just a few short weeks. I really enjoyed working with the AJ Tutoring team!

The tutoring with Elizabeth at AJ in San Carlos was very helpful. It taught me many useful strategies that I hope to apply on the real test to bump my score up a few points. I have already improved my skills, as shown by the helpful practice tests, and am looking forward to seeing if my actual score increases. It was overall an extremely helpful experience and well worth the time.

This was a really great experience. I worked with Pat on the SAT Reasoning. He was incredibly helpful, and I managed to move up overall 400 or more points in total! It was very fun, and I would definitely recommend them. AJ Tutoring also has lots of locations, so if its more convenient for you to work in another place, you can practice there.

The teachers are very involved and committed to raising scores on the SAT, ACT, ISEE, and all others alike. (Request Mathieu if you have a choice) On a similar note, the environment and attitude surrounding the establishment are uplifting and positive. Truly a great place for learning and growth.

I took my daughter to AJ tutoring in San Carlos for AP test prep with Adam.

I came into tutoring not knowing what to expect. I had no idea what an SAT even looked like because i have not had much experience with standardized testing. The tutors have a great combination of seriousness and humor and always come to the sessions prepared. I feel like I can excell with the tests i take in the future and If you are hesitant on which tutor to use, go with AJ.

Review №41

AJ is pretty expensive but its definitely is worth the price! I had tutoring with Mathieu E to improve my SAT score and I went from a 1120 (which I got on the PSAT in 10th grade) to a 1460. The personalized lesson plans and the AJ SAT practice book are rigorous and take hard work but they prepare you very well.

Mathieu was exactly the perfect fit for my daughter to master geometry. His calm, reassuring approach spurred my daughter to tackle difficult problems and celebrate small successes. Mathieu explained math in a way that was easy to absorb. She is excited to continue tutoring with Mathieu during the winter to prep for the SAT which is one of his specialities.
