My daughter is very happy to follow Robert. She enjoys the reading and writing that Robert gave her. She says that she loves to have this lesson every week. I like Robert's way of teaching writing. He started from reading a book, understanding the book through vocabulary, then writing. He is very patient and full of sense of humor. My daughter enjoys the class.

Robert is an amazing tutor/instructor! His instruction helped achieve a 100+ point gain in the SAT reading section! I attribute the significant point gain to Robert's thoughtful and strategic approach and his ability to develop a custom program for the student. His deep knowledge and understanding of the SAT materials, use of the workbooks, and focus on specific skills development were the perfect ingredients for a successful outcome. Robert's analytical assessment of the work and techniques to improve skills were highly effective. His care and patient approach creates a comforting environment for the student and parent. Robert is really an outstanding coach/instructor and I highly recommend him to others.

It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge. - Albert Einstein Mr. Robert did just that. He instilled that love of learning and reading in my son. My son(4th grader), used to read earlier but now he knows what is close reading and so he reads more of his level books. Thus, his writing is also improved. And that too in just 4 months. Mr. Robert is highly experienced, very patient, and a real genuine person. He knows how to make learning fun. I just wish we could continue with you more. Thank you so much for everything.

Dr. Robert is a great language teacher. His strategy of teaching is very much research oriented along with the new changes in the education system which we observed during the preparation for PARCC. He motivates the students so much that students are ready to take challenges happily. Already I see the improvement in my child's reading habit and increasing the analytical skill while writing. It's been six months my child is getting help from him and ready for the more exciting and successful future lesson with him. His thoughtful and strategic approach of teaching is greatly helpful for not only getting good grades but learning the subject thoroughly.
