GIovanna T. from Forest Hills, NY
Jed was my son's tutor for his Sat prep. He is absolutely knowledgeable, patient, honest and caring. He accommodated my son schedule and changes very easily and most of all he had the ability to make him feel comfortable with the subject. Highly recommended.
Elly W. from Jamaica, NY
I enrolled my daughter in a prep class for SSAT. Her scores did not improve over time. Only until we hired Jed during crunch time did we see results. Wonderful tutor!
Natalie B. from Woodmere, NY
My son has been Jed's student for two years. Jed is an exceptional tutor, caring, responsible, highly professional. Tutoring with Jed works very well for high achievers, not just kids who need help with the school program itself. Jed tutors according to what the child needs and expands that specific child's horizons. Whether you need help or would like to push the envelope of school's program, Jed is the right person to engage to help you help your child!

Jed is not only a high skilled tutor. When we met Jed, it was only 6 weeks before the regents exam. His response was very quickly and we got a first session on the next day. Jed accepted our last minutes situation and he conducted very aggressively. Jed picked up on my son's outline learning style very quickly. By the 3rd session, Jed had already figured out most of my son's issues and how to approach them. Halfway through the six years they spent working together, my son had been changed of his motivation to study. Jed identified my son's foggy areas and addressed them one by one. This approach gave my son self-confidence and a lot of curiosity. In the final two weeks, Jed gradually raised his morale and help my son face his test anxiety. I discovered teaching and or tutoring is a gift from one human being to another. We appreciate his energy to my son. His help was invaluable. Thanks, Jed, your comprehension of teaching is terrific! Our son passed his test!!!

My son was happy with the lesson. He said Jed was patient with him and did not get upset when my son did not know the answer.
Geneva B. from Jamaica, NY
Yesterday, my son had a great math session with Jed. 7th grade prealgebra has been challenging for my son, however, Jed was thorough with each math question and was able to grasp how much he already knows and what he needs to work on. My son left the session confident and already knows what other areas in math he'd like Jed to work with him on for his next session.
Irina Z. from Whitestone, NY
Jed is a great listener and very easy going. He explains everything very thoroughly and won't stop until you're completely comfortable with the material. I would recommend Jed to anyone who is looking for a tutor that they can learn from while having some fun.
Lilian C. from Middle Village, NY
I am very lucky to have found Jed as a tutor for my daughter. Jed has a gift for teaching, he is patient, makes the lesson fun for the student. My daughter needed help with Math as she was retaking the SSAT exam, we were very lucky to find Jed. Within a short period of time her Math confidence and knowledge has increased. If you are looking for a experienced, knowledge, patient, caring, individual, Jed L. is the right tutor for you. I plan to continue working with Jed in the future.
Princess G. from Brooklyn, NY
My son immediately felt comfortable and is looking forward to upcoming sessions, as am I. I can see my son will gain confidence in working independently.
Joe R. from Elmont, NY
I am a very busy person, my schedule changes constantly due to the nature of my business/kids. Jed is very accommodating, he has made this a very pleasurable experience for me.
Larisa K. from Rego Park, NY
Jed behaves very professionally, and his teaching methods are easy to follow. My daughter said, that he helped her a lot after the first session. I am looking forward to a pleasant and productive tutoring experience.
Ramon S. from Forest Hills, NY
Today was a very good first lesson for my son. Jed L. is very professional and very patient, we are up to a good start.
M M. from Forest Hills, NY
Jed has a special talent for teaching. He is patient, motivated and easy to talk to. He communicates well with us parents. Our son was easily distracted and difficult to concentrate. When Jed came, he asked our son what he wanted to achieve and how his tutor could help him. Instead of the tutor setting agenda, Jed wants our son to take an ownership. This worked. We have just received an interim report card, and our son improved his grade for English, Humanities and Math! Thank you Jed.
Agnieszka G. from Middle Village, NY
I hired Jed L. to help my son in preparation for the TACHS exam. It was a wonderful experience for my son; he was looking forward to his tutoring sessions and his progress was noticeable. My son successfully passed the exam and was admitted to the high school of his choice. Thank You so much for your commitment in helping my son to become a better student!
Marlene G. from Flushing, NY
Jed is helping my son with college Physics. We found him knowledgeable and very professional. He review all of my son's school materials and developed a plan to help him achieve his goal. We are both very satisfied and highly recommend him.
Yasmeen Q. from Woodhaven, NY
Jed is very kind and helpful, he gives 100% in teaching, my son absolutely loves learning from him. I know I made the best choice when I chose this tutor, his techniques in teaching WORK! He knows many subjects and goes beyond teaching, he helps my son with his home work and more, you can tell he wants his students to become something, his efforts are seen, he has a sense of humor that attracts children instead of scaring them. I would trust my son with him any day, he gives my child home work, he is easily reached, he always is in contact , he is one of those tutors one would remember for life. Thank you Jed!
Olga S. from Forest Hills, NY
Jed has been working with my 10 year old daughter with 5th grade math and I'm definitely seeing improvements in a short time, such as more clarity and understanding of the material. He is able to easily identify her short-comings and zeroes in on exactly what she needs to work on. She works very well with his patient, calm, and friendly personality. I'm very happy and look forward to great grades throughout the school year. Thanks Jed!
Cathy C. from Cambria Heights, NY
Jed is great tutor and is committed to his work and student, especially when his student is eager to learn! I find him to be patient and explain each step to complete a problem thoroughly. Just a few weeks into tutoring sessions with him and I could not be more satisfied.
Barbara P. from Pelham, NY
Jed is an inspiring tutor. He truly considers the needs of each student independently by evaluating personalized strategies. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to work Jed!
Ruben F. from Duluth, GA
My son studied for the SHSAT's with Jed and did really well on the test he ended up taking (which was the NEST 9th grade entry exam)
Steven M. from New York, NY
Jed was very patient with our daughter, who was somewhat reluctant to study for the SAT on top of her other school work. He helped her get a solid score that will allow her to get into her chosen field of study. Jed was punctual, willing to do extended sessions to help out daughter catch up (we left it very late) and his hourly rate is great value considering his experience. Highly recommended.
Lora C. from Forest Hills, NY
Jed helped my son with 9th grade math. In 2 tutoring sessions my son's understanding of polynomials improved and his test score also improved significantly. My son looks forward to his next sessions with Jed.
Michelle S. from Brooklyn, NY
