I am a finance and engineering professional that will help high school students achieve their full potential on college entry exams. Preparing for these test can be a daunting hurdle for many students. I find that teenagers generally know more than they think they know; the challenge is showing what they can do on a mind-numbing four-hour test on a Saturday morning. Most high school students have very busy schedules, so I always try to tailor tutoring and test practice in areas where the stud...

Was prompt and very patient with my daughter helping her prep for the SAT and ACT. Definitely would recommend him.
Barbara F. from Pine Brook, NJ
We were referred to the site by a friend and did our research for tutors who specialize in the ACT. We were able to secure Steven on short notice and he was local and available. We had a very limited amount of time before the ACT for Steven to work with our child and in the end their ACT points went up and we were all very happy with the experience. We would utilize Steven again as it turned out to be a positive experience.

We used Steve to start off our sons SAT/ACT preparation. We thought that he had many pointers on taking the test and he knew what he was talking about. We will use him periodically and consistently. Thank you.

3rd session went as well as the last two. My son seems very pleased. He said he is definitely learning more then he thought he would. Steve is very patient and my son feels very comfortable with him.

Steven really gave my son clear direction and guidance on how to take his very good SAT scores and bring them to the next level. The lessons were focused on the writing and reading sections. In fact he ended up with a perfect score in Critical Reading and brought his writing score up 70 points. This was with only 4 lessons and was clearly attributed to the very pointed lessons and reviewing on where my son was missing some key elements from previous SAT's. Very pleased with the lessons and the outcome.

I want to thank Steve for helping my son get a great ACT Score! He is a great guy and has always been on time for the lessons with my son. What I liked about him right away is he's a very patient person. He has allowed my son to learn at his own pace, which is actually slower than most because my son has a learning disability. My son still learned what he needed but at his pace which has boosted his confidence. To me, that's a big difference because students can feel overwhelmed by the volume of information for a an ACT or SAT.
Harry C. from New Providence, NJ
Steve was very patient and his coaching was very efficient. My son brought his scores up 590 points! Writing went up the most. Great advice and great study plans.
Ingrid B. from Fairfield, NJ
Steven was extremely patient with my daughter and completely helped her with difficult concepts she was finding hard to grasp in geometry. He gave her some tips for taking her test which made her feel comfortable and confident. I look forward to many more sessions with him because u think he has what it takes to help children understand subject matter!!

It took a week or two to get things going so Steven could review her past PSAT results as well as her SAT Prep assignments in order to find her weaknesses. Fortunately, our SAT class was canceled at the last possible moment which put me on the hunt for help. I wish we had found Wyzant sooner which allowed us to get her in home one on one tutoring instead of a classroom. Steven is very knowledgeable and was able to produce quite a few, "Oh, now I get it moments." I highly recommend Steven as a tutor. He comes highly qualified and has the ability to explain things in different ways. My daughter takes the SAT's this week and one more time in the fall. I think she has more confidence now. We may need a brush up prior to the next SAT. I hope he has availability at that time as he is the one that I would call. He's really quiet too but that had no effect on his teaching.

Sallie W. from Bloomfield, NJ
Steven helped teenage siblings, high school juniors, prepare for both the ACT and SAT. He worked with them individually, and as a pair. They both felt better prepared for taking these standardized tests, more so than from a school-based prep class.
Jeannine L. from Lake Hopatcong, NJ
I am currently being tutored for the SAT/ACT tests. It is great to know how to approach each of the sections of the tests and what to avoid to not waste valuable time. Great tutor...very patient and prepared.

This is the second child that we have Steven helping for SAT prep. He does a great job providing tips for writing and reading comprehension that will improve scores. Also does a nice job helping with the math section.
