Put simply, he delivered a master class that helped our son take his scores to an
ultra-competitive level. When i t came time to build Caleb’s college list, Brian helped us identify schools we had never even considered, which resulted in generous merit-aid packages we would likely not have received had we not expanded the search. We can’t tell you how grateful we are for his guidance.

“Now that I have been accepted to my top three schools, schools that last year were dreams I dared to dream, I wish I could repeat the process just so I would be able to work with Brian again!! Investing in a mentor like him gave me an outlook on the next four years of my life filled with new insights, positivity and confidence.”

Guided by Brian, I believe my maximum potential was achieved. I ended up getting a 31 on the ACT, including a perfect 36 on the Math section. Anyone who has worked with Brian would agree that he is a great motivator and his positive attitude makes him easy to communicate with. I highly recommend Brian to anyone who is looking to do their best on these exams.

Hi Brian, I just wanted to let you know that I was accepted to every school I applied to and with very generous scholarship offers. I’ll be attending Richmond next fall! It was my top choice and I couldn’t be happier about my acceptance. Thank you so much for all your help throughout the process.

Full ride to Fordham, Brian. I can’t tell you how much this means to our family.

We simply can’t thank Brian enough. His incredible knowledge, accessibility, guidance, patience and thoughtfulness helped our son dramatically improve his SAT score by 210 points. The strategies that Brian employed taught our son to practice, stay focused, find and work on his weaknesses and along the way greatly improved his confidence. Brian is truly a terrific and caring person with a unique ability to connect and encourage young adults. . We look at Brian as a friend and mentor and we continue to utilize his expertise during the college application process.

“Hey Brian, I just wanted to thank you for all your help on the SAT & ACT. I just got my ACT scores back today and I scored 3 points better and if you super score the science section I believe it would be 4 points higher. I also thought the SAT went extremely well this second time. I felt relaxed and confident and the reading sections were no trouble using the strategies we worked on. So thank you!”

Brian is much more than a tutor, he is a mentor and a friend. A very intelligent, well spoken, kind man who has a talent for making learning challenging and fun, he has a distinctive ability to assess strengths and weaknesses and adjusts his teaching style to meet individual needs while working at the speed necessary to achieve success. He has a very approachable personality, is understanding of students demanding schedules, and works within their time constraints. Always enthusiastic and encouraging, he brings a team spirit to any learning task. Both after my daughter received her test scores and when she committed to Northeastern University one of our first calls was to Brian. I think that says it all !

Brian is a true professional and a very effective tutor. He quickly identifies the areas needing improvement and outlines the goals and a strategy to meet them. He is amazingly efficient and uses every minute of the tutoring session. Brian has helped both my sons significantly improve their test scores.

I want to let you know how grateful I am for all the time and hard work you put into Joshua learning the SATs. I believe you did a lot more than that, and Joshua has said so over the year. He believes his reading comprehension and vocab have increased tremendously. You have also modeled discipline and that studying and spending time learning is the key to success, which we as his parents have always conveyed. Your values coincide with ours which make you a great teacher for Josh.

Both of our boys needed help preparing for the SAT and ACT. Brian coached each of them individually, not only covering content and academic knowledge, but also, more importantly, how the tests worked and how to respond to specifics types of questions. Thanks to the time they spent with Brian, they approached the tests with confidence because they understood what to expect. They were both very happy with the scores they received.
