Evan helped my high school daughter with a last minute assignment on the Cold War . History is something that my daughter as many struggle with and truly don't enjoy much. Well, a few times during their tutoring time, I heard my daughter laughing with Evan, and that right there made it all worth it! We had some technical difficulties and he was very understanding and patient with us, which I highly appreciated and took a bit of my stress level down:). My daughter had a 100 in her assignment and a big smile at the end of the day! Evan, you will certainly be contacted again when needed in the future! Thanks for attending promptly and so nicely to my daughter's last minute need!!! Thanks a bunch!

Evan went above and beyond what I expected of him to help me prepare for the GRE Writing section. It was clear to me that he knew what he was doing. His commentary on the writing samples I sent him was detailed and lucid. After one session with Evan, I went from the 80th percentile (top 20%) in Writing to the 93rd percentile (top 7%). That is obviously a huge improvement and a great testament to both his teaching prowess and his familiarity with the requirements of the GRE. He also checks his email frequently and stays in communication. I would highly recommend him.

Evan is currently helping me prepare to take the GRE and I couldn't be happier with our arrangement. He's very patient, explains things in very understandable terms using good, easy-to-follow examples, and he's very experienced. Evan works in his free time to not only come up with lesson plans for our sessions so that we don't waste any time, but he also makes up problem sets to work on for the next session. He's helped immensely with my GRE prep so far and has made me much more confident going into the test.

One of the best Tutors that I have worked with, hands down!! Qualities Include: patience, skill, ability to teach, ability to put people at ease, maturity, persistence, common sense and morality.

Evan provided my daughter with really helpful comments on her English essay. He was organized, responsive and offered really good feedback and tips on how to improve her analysis and writing skills. Evan was great to work with and my daughter and I look forward to using him again soon.


Anne S. from Brunswick, ME

First and foremost, Evan is honest and trustworthy. He is also flexible, especially if schedule changes are necessary. Evan is patient, and he is also a good listener. I also like the fact that Evan is a good collaborator, and he is always professional. I highly recommend Evan as a tutor for your writing or other subjects!


Clementine S. from New York, NY

Evan went out of his way to prepare for our lesson and offer his support. He is extremely knowledgable but also clear and strategic in the way that he teaches. The perfect combination! Thank you Evan!

Evan was AWESOME. I was under a serious time crunch and needed to raise my quantitative score on my GRE. I only had about 2 weeks to get some help and Evan was an excellent choice. He was very patient and efficient. His schedule was super flexible (I work two jobs and have other things going on and he always worked around my schedule). His homework was always tailored to me and based on our previous lesson. He was very quick in responding to me and giving feedback on my work. He was also extremely personable and motivational, he really helped build my confidence preparing for the exam. I really felt like he was concerned about my performance. The day before my GRE retake, he even worked with me a little over our scheduled time just to make sure I was comfortable with taking the exam. He helped me raise my score by 2 points and I'm certain that with more time, he would have helped me raise it even higher. I would not hesitate to work with him again or recommend him to someone else.

Evan was a great tutor for the ACT English and Reading sections. With his guidance, I was able to focus my studies on fixing my mistakes and perfecting my test strategies. If you are unclear about a certain topic, he takes the time to explain it until you do understand. In addition, he offered me insight and clear fixes to improve my writing. He also offers great advice in his area of expertise, AP English. After his lessons, I feel more confident about developing a long term study plan for this test and preparing for future English classes. Thank you!


Emily M. from San Francisco, CA

My daughter took a nationally-known prep course for the ACT and did very well, except for the writing portion. Evan had a lot of insights into the writing exercise that were quite a bit different from the prep course.


Julianna E. from San Francisco, CA

Evan is an amazing tutor. Using exemplary advice, he guided me throughout the process of my entire essay from start to finish, helping me create an impressive essay. I highly recommend Evan; his teaching methods are outstanding and he put thought and effort into each lesson. If you want an extremely qualified tutor who is patient and intelligent, Evan is the right choice.


Josie B. from Delta Junction, AK

The original plan was to study for the GRE but after I found out that this was no longer needed Evan so graciously agreed to help me with upcoming statistics classes. Thanks Evan for being so accommodating!
