Sahar E. from Beverly Hills, CA

He is a pleasure to work with! Very reliable and knowledgable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a tutor.


Wannie W. from Los Angeles, CA

Greg is very patient with our student, a 14-yr-old boy from China seeking education opportunities. He comes to class well prepared and has a structural way of teaching writing. He is easy to work with and pays attention to what the student needs.


Gregory A. from Glendale, CA

Greg is probably the best tutor I have had for any subject. He really makes sure that you fully understand the subject matter on a deep level. In addition, Greg is excellent at breaking down complex questions or problems. What used to seem difficult, Greg has made easy to understand. The confidence that I have in my understanding of the material, increases after every lesson with Greg. I would recommend Greg to anyone that aspires to get better in any of the subjects he offers for tutoring. Thanks a lot Greg!


Brigitte B. from Los Angeles, CA

Greg turned what could have been a tedious grammar lesson into a positive learning experience. His patience and knowledge of the subject made a huge difference.


Vicken H. from Los Angeles, CA

Greg has a great sense of humor and can definitely relate to both my son's situation and mine. I highly recommend him. Also, he is highly educated and his credentials are as great as his ethics and personality.


Marie S. from Madison, WI

Greg really knows how to make the most of a tutoring session. He has a keen sense of my son's understanding of critical thinking and what his professor would like him to learn and accomplish from the readings and assignments. Most importantly, it is clear that can effectively communicate written and verbally how to approach the assignment, specifically what steps are necessary. Highly recommend this tutor.


Sevak T. from Glendale, CA

I was anxious, confused and overwhelmed with my paper. Greg not only clarified the material by breaking it down, making it concrete within the everyday vernacular, but completely helped transform my paper into an A paper. Thanks!


Alexia B. from Los Angeles, CA

Greg did an excellent job bringing me to have a more detailed and nuanced understanding of a very complex philosophical thinker. A paper I wrote under his mentorship earned me not only one of the highest grades on that assignment but also a comment on the maturity of the topic chosen. I couldn't have done as well as I did without his mentorship and guidance, and I have continued to work with him sense. I highly recommend him to any student in philosophy looking to sharpen their critical thinking, and writing skills.


Peter C. from Beverly Hills, CA

Greg adapted quickly to the unconventional way we operate and has become one of our favorites.


Vahevan S. from Glendale, CA

We talked about critical thinking, what it is about and why it's important to use it in our daily life. We discussed about assertions and arguments and also talked about inductive and deductive inferences. Great teacher. I highly recommend him to whoever wants to improve their logic and reasoning.


Sanjoy D. from Los Angeles, CA

Greg helped our student complete her history assignment, and got her reading a new chapter in her assigned English text. It was a productive lesson!


Shuzheng C. from Auburn, AL

He explained very clearly, not only the answer but show you why it cause it, like how the case relate to a big background. So I understand more deeply of the context and the idea. Love the way he teach and get more inspiration from him! I feel much comfortable to read philosophy material now! Thank you again!


Ely K. from Torrance, CA
