Meet our tutors

An English teacher turned admissions consultant, Gail R loves helping her students make reasonable, educated choices when selecting schools to apply to and helping them achieve their goals.

“I enjoy creating a positive, encouraging learning environment where students build confidence and develop strong problem-solving skills,” Thaivanai R. says. “My goal is to help every student achieve academic success by making learning engaging, personalized, and enjoyable.”

“My tutoring style is visual and conversational,” Eduardo R. explains. “I don’t like to do all the talking—I want students to explain concepts back to me in their own words. That keeps them engaged and builds lasting understanding.”

"My great passion for tutoring has motivated me to work hard to help students maximize their test scores and develop required skill sets within a limited period of time," says Qian Q., a decorated scientist with a knack for demystifying standardized tests and improving student performance.

"If students become skilled at recognizing patterns in the way the problems are formulated, they will begin to feel mastery over what can be an intimidating test," tutor Brian P. says. A relaxed and passionate tutor, Brian shares, "Approaching the test strategically, and being able to categorize questions and tackle them with confidence and clarity, results in significant score gains."

A student-centered and math-loving tutor, Paul P. believes students should work through many problems and review past material. “Oftentimes, a student learns something new during each review,” he says.

“To me it is very important to understand how the student thinks and how they approach new information,” says chiropractor Allison P. “I emphasize a growth mindset for facing struggles, and I notice students' strengths so we can leverage such strengths strategically.”

“I believe it is a primary obligation of any society to give every child the proper level of support to achieve their fullest potential. I am proud to play a role in that process,” says Scott P. Scott’s specialty is teaching mathematics from sixth grade to pre-calculus.

“My overall philosophy is that education should help students become independent learners; it is not just memorizing information for a test,” says math teacher Khurram P. “I feel that working with my students is about developing confidence and problem-solving skills.”
