Kelly D. from Yorba Linda, CA
As the parent of a varsity sport athlete it was crucial that we found a tutor that was available at all different times day and night. We started ACT prep approximately 6 monthago with Clement and have been very pleased. He is professional, courteous, and very thorough. My son just took the ACT with writing this past Saturday and felt comfortable in all areas. While the test was still incredibly difficult he said he could not have done it without Clement's help. I would highly recommend Clement. He is an awesome tutor!
Lorena S. from Whittier, CA
Upon our first session, He made my Daughter feel comfortable. He listen to her concerns and was able to give her the necessary information to assure her she will be prepaired for the SAT.
Deborah R. from Irvine, CA
I have been trying to get my GED. One of my subjects I have to study is math. I have been frustrated with algebra and geometry for quite a while but Mr. Clement has helped to clear up some of that frustration with his guidance and materials. He is very understanding and explains things step by step. He wants me to dream big and succeed. He also recommends the best colleges and online courses to receive a bachelors or masters degree. I would strongly recommend him to any student who is serious about receiving their GED!!!
Nancy P. from Corona, CA
Clement is a great instructor! He is very patient with your questions and explained all the problems thoroughly. Thanks to him, I scored a 2280 on the SAT and a 770 on the critical reading section, which was a big achievement.
Chris C. from Anaheim, CA
He helped my son to understand the differences between ACT and SAT and gave my son a clear direction which test he is going to take.

He answered all their questions patiently and made sure they understood the subject. E. He is very intelligent, polite,and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs help in English. Thank you Clement for making the girls excel in their English class!
Gage G. from Corona, CA
After struggling to raise my SAT score, Clement suggested switching to the ACT. Because of Clement's dedication and exceptional tutoring, I achieved a super score composite of 31 (97 percentile). Standardized testing has brought me a lot of stress through my high school career, and Clement has alleviated this stress by demonstrating confidence in my test taking abilities. Clement has also drastically improved my essay writing skills and has revised many of my essays for my college application. I owe a big part of my success to the hard work and dedication of Clement. I have appreciated learning from him as he is an amazing tutor, and I have enjoyed my relationship with Clement as he is an even better person.
Puneet R. from Diamond Bar, CA
Clement helped improve my medical school application essays. He did a great job reviewing and making grammar changes as well as improving the overall flow of the essay. I found Clement's assistance very helpful because of his rapid turn around time which allowed me to get through multiple application essays in short periods of time. Thank you!
Lucia S. from Yorba Linda, CA
Clement has a great method of assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the student upon preparing for the SAT practice tests.
Michelle K. from Placentia, CA
Clement tutored my son over the summer in preparation for the ACT and SAT tests. My son's schedule was VERY limited this summer and Clement made it happen!! He was responsive and flexible with his schedule and the time spent tutoring my son definitely paid off with less stress overall for the exam. We are waiting for the scores, but already I am very pleased that overall there was less stress for the exam itself. THANKS, CLEMENT!!
David W. from Brea, CA
Clement T. prepared our son for the ACT. Clement was always very professional, his teaching style was very effective, and his teaching materials we perfectly tailored to the subject he was tutoring. His follow up lessons were useful in reinforcing the concepts taught at the previous lesson. Our son found his style of communication very easy to understand and as a result he was able to assimilate the material. I would strongly recommend Clement to my friends and family.
Eunice S. from Anaheim, CA
First of all, he is an expert in English. No matter what you want to learn, he will help you if you are willing to do something. He has a great personality. He is easygoing and a chill person. It's always fun when we make conversation.
Jose Q. from Yorba Linda, CA
We requested Clement's help with my son's SAT preparations. With only fours weeks before the exam, Clement was very encouraging and confident that some tutoring was better than none. This positive attitude has given our son the confidence he needs going into the exam. Thank you, Clement.
Kathleen K. from Anaheim, CA
My son has been enjoying working with Clement to prepare for the ACT (June test date) since January. The initial diagnostic review was extremely helpful in determining whether to focus on the SAT or ACT. We have never considered going the ACT route, but it seemed like a better option. The systematic approach, the hands-on feedback, and the review of test concepts and materials have made a considerable impact on my son's confidence in preparing for the exam. Clement is a very dedicated tutor and we have been very fortunate to have found him.
Jordan W. from Anaheim, CA
I had 6 lessons with Clement in time for the December ACT. However, I didn't have a lot of time to prepare for the December test. Clement and I chose to mainly focus on my weakest area which was English. My scores before my tutoring lessons with Clement were: 28 composite, 23 English, 29 math, 30 reading, 28 science. After my 6 lessons with Clement, which we focused solely on English, my English score rose 7 points! My goal was the get a 29 composite and I got just that on my December ACT. My scores were the following: 29 composite, 30 English, 28 math, 28 reading, 28 science. Clement is a good tutor that gets you that score that you're aiming to get! Thank you for all of your help!
Jackie S. from Orange, CA
My son has had 3 2-hour sessions with Clement prepping for the SAT in the fall. Clement's area of expertise is SAT English and writing and that is what my son needs help with. The one-on-one tutoring at home is so convenient and my son feels that he has gotten more help in the past 3 weeks than in past SAT prep programs. My son feels that Clement is "very smart" but able to teach and communicate well. We will continue to use Clement as needed. I wish we found him earlier.
Greg C. from Yorba Linda, CA
Clement arrived on time ready to work with my daughter. He quickly assessed the situation - grasping her needs for her AP Language Arts class and provided a great deal of help and support. We are very happy with his work and will be scheduling more appointments with Clement in the future.
Marina H. from Brea, CA
Clement has been tutoring my daughter for her ACT test. He is an extremely knowledgeable, dependable, very structured and dedicated tutor who has been working very hard every week with my daughter. I am very happy with Clement's tutoring style, he is very focused and goes straight to the point without wasting a single minute. I'm very impressed with Clement and highly recommend him.
Katayoun D. from Anaheim, CA
I just finished my first lesson. He is great and he makes you feel confident. He makes sure that you understand everything.
Lisa A. from Fullerton, CA
Clement is working with our kids, ages 13 and 16, with vocabulary and reading comprehension. The kids are both engaged with their individual sessions. We are very excited about the program he has put together to assist them moving into the new school year. Clement covers the material clearly and concisely.
Lily H. from Yorba Linda, CA
Clement's expertise is on SAT English and writing. I was impressed that he teaches at an elite school. My problem was that I could not find anyone in my area that could help my son with all parts of the ACT test, English, math, science and writing. Clement was willing to read and familiarize himself with the ACT test to help my son. He taught, practiced and reviewed all subjects within the ACT test. He especially helped my son in the writing area. My son was very impressed with his writing teaching skills. I will definitely continue to use him to help my son improve on his writing skills. Clement's English is impeccable. He is friendly, punctual and was very flexible to my son's schedule.
Jasdeep T. from Yorba Linda, CA
Clement is very thorough in his approach in the way he tutored me, and I know he would be the same with anyone else. He is very caring, and wants you to learn the subject matter without getting discouraged. He is always helpful with anything that I approach him with, and is kind and attentive at the same time. I highly recommend him to anyone who is considering getting at tutor. Thanks.
Victor B. from Irvine, CA
I spent about 3 hours with Clement on our first session and he went above and beyond to assist me with my school work. Very sharp tutor. Will use him more in the future.
Alona B. from Irvine, CA
I am very happy with Clement, my daughter understands all the subjects and the way he teach just make it so much easy. I would recommend him to all my friends.
Will S. from Brea, CA
We signed up with Clement around 3 months ago to get our daughter prepared for her ACT test. I like the fact that Clement found out a good baseline on where she was at the first session and came up with a plan and process to get her ready for the test. Each lesson was well organized and very productive. Clement does an excellent job on not only working in areas of needed improvement but how to take the test. I highly recommend using Clement in tutoring for these important tests. Thanks for all you did.
Samuel C. from Villa Park, CA
It was my first time using this service and I can say that I was pleasantly surprised with Clement's effectiveness as a tutor. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to improve their SAT/ACT scores.
Jamie L. from Placentia, CA
I had a great experience working with Clement. I was very impressed with Clement's overall knowledge regarding proper English grammar, the different parts of speech, overall business writing and so forth. Clement is also very patient with his students which I like and the way he communicates with his students is easily understood. Clement is a great teacher and I would highly recommend him.
Yoko F. from Placentia, CA
Clement T. is a wonderful tutor who responds my email very quickly, arrives to teach on time and very patient. Our student had a lot to catch up and did not know how to study for TOEFL. Clement helped the student several times a week. We have hired several tutors to several international students in need, but Clement is the best one!!
Grace K. from Irvine, CA
Clement taught me how to approach the GRE, offered graduate school advice, and if law school was a better option despite the LSAT.
Wendy L. from Irvine, CA
My son looking for a tutor to prepare his SAT or ACT testing. Good luck we found Clement. He is knowledgeable and patient. My son doesn’t know which is better for him to prepare. Clement put the test and recommend that ACT is better for my son. This is really good for him that knows his direction. Clement also set up a target for my son and now he has more confidence for it. I put this review after month with Clement tutor. After each lesson my son told me. Clement is so good teacher, he like and so happy learn with Clement. And told me Clement absolutely get 5 star tutor. We will continue with Clement in the fall.
Nancy J. from Brea, CA
I hired Clement for my high school son who needs remedial tutoring, even though I knew his experience is mostly in test preparation. His lesson plans are organized and structured, yet very flexible to my requests. He is patient and firm which allows him to handle attitudes from a teenage boy, who prefers video games than reading & writing.
Jill D. from Brea, CA
SAT/ACT prep. Clement really knows how to effectively help students prepare and how to study and practice to improve your score
Jan U. from Irvine, CA
Clement tutored my daughter SAT this past year. He is knowledgeable and patient, He clearly articulated the materials. Above all, he created interest in approaching SAT questions with passion and easiness.
Brooke L. from Anaheim, CA
Clement suggested I take the ACT because I didn't have much time until I needed to take my ACT or SAT before college applications. I tested higher on the ACT so he suggested I take it. He was very helpful with informing me on what steps to take when taking the ACT as well as what material was on it.
Adam L. from Los Alamitos, CA
My ACT score in English went up 9 points after about 7 sessions with Clement, it's always a productive lesson! You will not regret choosing Clement for help on the ACT.
Vicky G. from Torrance, CA
Initially I hired Clement to help my daughter with raising her SAT/ACT score. He brought along so much information and answered all questions thoroughly. My daughter instantly connected with him. To my relief, Clement is so knowledgeable about the college admissions process. We were going to wait till we found out her December scores to submit them. He advised my daughter to go ahead and submit her existing scores based on his knowledge and literally the next morning an email was received that my daughter got accepted into her #1 pick school. Had we not taken his advice I don't know if this would have happened for my daughter. We will continue with Clement through the remainder of our college process for my daughter. He is truly amazing!!!
Dinah A. from Chino Hills, CA
Clement has worked diligently with my daughter on Critical Reading. He is very patient and explains everything thoroughly. I would highly recommend Clement.
Chie E. from Lakewood, CA
I recently just started a lesson with Clement and I like his effectiveness as a tutor.He really finds a good plan to get you prepared for the SAT/ACT.I always look forward to our sessions.
Tom N. from Irvine, CA
Clement connected really well with my son. In two sessions, he was able to assess my son's writing level and gave critiques/instructions to better his skills. We look forward to getting more help from Clement.
Carolyn P. from San Rafael, CA
