Shawn was a wonderful tutor. He is very knowledgeable in all areas, and was a tremendous asset to our son's successes with the SAT test! Shawn was the perfect person to tutor our son, not only was he capable of simplifying ares of struggle for him, but he helped him to find strategies to accomplish difficult areas, plan, and have confidence in his abilities. Shawn was also very friendly and "cool". My son actually enjoyed the time spent with Shawn. Thank you!

Shawn is very methodical during his tutoring sessions. His method of teaching is very effective in targeting my son's needs and pace. At the end of the session, my son is confident with the new skills he learned from Shawn. My son enjoys his math sessions with Shawn because they are fun and challenging at the same time.

Shawn has been tutoring my daughter for a couple of months now, and he has really made a difference for her. Pre-Calculus is not an easy subject for her and she needs a lot of guidance. Shawn is super capable of explaining things in a way she can understand and he gets to the heart of the matter pretty quickly.

Shawn is an excellent tutor. I would use or recommend him again and again. My daughter needed help preparing for a pre-calculus test. We didn't have much time. Shawn helped her with exactly what she needed to know.

Sean is very knowledgeable in programming. He answered all my questions and explained why some of my codes worked/didn't work and I was able to avoid duplicating my mistakes when I coded on my own.

I am only at the beginning of being tutored by Shawn and I am already very impressed with his knowledge, his teaching capabilities but mostly his patience. I was worried from being out of school for so long that no one would be able to re-teach the concepts to me but Shawn is proving me wrong and has set my mind at ease with learning all that there is to know for the GRE. I am extremely glad I chose him as my tutor.

My granddaughter is enjoying her studies in programming. Thank you for keeping her enthusiasm level high as game design seems to be of genuine interest.

Shawn was so great and really helpful to my son. He explained things in a way that finally made since in a world of complicated High School Physics!
Grant C. from Santa Barbara, CA
Shawn has helped me with English 110 study material and even helped me with studying for my English final on a novel. I got a B on the final and a final grade of a B. Also, he has been very patient and knowledgeable with helping me prepare for the English 110 assessment next spring and I can't wait to continue to work with him on that. He will be great, I just know!

Shawn's confidence in his subject matter, translates to our high schooler when he clearly walks him through his pre-calc problems. Has helped our son be confident in his class and is helping him feel proud of his abilities in math.
David G. from Goleta, CA
Truly a great tutor. I hired him for my son in college and he has been amazing to work with. My sons grades have gone up by a entire grade, just by working with him.

Shawn does a great job with my high school junior in helping him to understand algebra 2. He does a great job of really helping him to think through and apply the formulas.
