Scott

Scott H. from Kannapolis, NC

Scott's knowledge and guidance helped me to achieve a GRE score I didn't think was possible. His experience coupled with his no nonsense style of teaching is exactly what I needed. He is genuine in his desire to help those who need it, upfront with his expectations, and patient when he needs to be. I would recommend him to anyone.

Debbie C. from Suffern, NY

Scott has been working with my son to prepare for the GMAT exam. After a few lessons, my son took the test and scored poorly. Scott worked with him some more and my son took the test a second time. Again, he did poorly. Scott restructured his entire strategy tutoring my son which included more individual prep time for my son and less lessons (budget was a big concern). He carefully prepared lessons plans according to my sons needs. After a third time, my son increased his score almost 100 points. Scott also worked with my son on preparing his personal essay and was extremely helpful with the task. In addition, Scott took into consideration my concerns and addressed them thoroughly while working with my son. I would highly recommend Scott. The on line method (which I was skeptical about) worked well for my son and Scott kept him focused. This method gave my son the flexibility to be tutored at home and at school. Scott works on developing different strategies until he finds the one which works for the student. He knows the exam thoroughly, has patience and works well with students as well as parents.

NIKKI D. from Phoenix, AZ

My first draft was SO good my professor was willing to accept the "first draft" as my final paper!!! I couldn't be more happy. Scott is the best at what he does. It won't get better than him.

Norma D. from Redlands, CA

There are no words to express my gratitude to Scott. Scott tutored me in math for ten weeks as I prepared for the GRE. Not only would I not have gotten the score I needed on the GRE if it hadn't been for Scott, I don't know if I would have been able to pass the exam. He has a gift for explaining concepts in a simple way, and has a fool proof method and structure to prepare the student for test day. He's also a great therapist - he managed to talk me off a couple of cliffs throughout the process. I wasn't sure initially how tutoring sessions via Skype would work, but I'm a believer now. Scott also helped me with the verbal portion of the GRE and with my Personal Statement for the application for graduate school. He is an absolute Rock Star. Worth every penny.

Matthew L. from Astoria, NY

Scott makes the entire process not only simple but fun. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking to start preparing for their GMAT. He really takes his time to figure out your strengths and weaknesses, as well as provides a fresh perspective on the way you look at math. Overall, a really great experience.

Kevin M. from Denton, TX

I was studying for the GMAT and was really worried about the progress I was making. I reached out to Scott and somehow he put all of my concerns back into perspective. He quickly assessed my abilities and set me on the road to success with a clever study plan. He provided me with insight that wasn't available anywhere else on the web. Scott is a genius and a gentleman. You couldn't ask for a better tutor. Taking lessons from him was the best investment I ever made.

Steven C. from Miami, FL

Scott prepped me for the GRE. I am in my 50's and I haven't studied math for well over 30 years. In three months, Scott took me through everything from arithmetic to stats & probabilities. He knew what the GRE would ask and what they would avoid. We didn't waste time on superfluous information and he was able to give me tips and techniques as well as a solid method for solving problems. I may not have scored in the top 10%, but without Scott's patience and guidance I would have bombed the test. I cannot recommend Scott as a tutor highly enough. And by the way, he also is fantastic for English part as well.

Nausheen N. from Allen, TX

I started working with Scott in August preparing for my GMAT in November. In the few weeks, he was able to bring me up to speed on the math going through all the worksheets and practice problems. In the verbal, he showed me different techniques for reading comprehension, critical reasoning and sentence correction that helped me increase my understanding of the questions and how to answer strategically. Although I was hesitant with online tutoring, Scott's way of tutoring has changed my perspective. Thanks Scott for all your patience and hard work with my preparation.

Virginia S. from Harrison, NY

...I went from being largely math illiterate to being able to work algebra problems. I'm moving on to coordinate geometry. Scott holds the keys to the math kingdom - I highly recommend him as a GRE tutor.

Lauren H. from Bellerose, NY

I have ADHD and learning disabilities and Scott was very patient with me throughout the whole process. The use of Skype was a great way to increase my engagement and my understanding. Scott was always prepared, even when I wasn't. He took his time to make sure I understood concepts before he moved on to something else. Because of him, I increased my confidence and was more prepared to take the GRE. He really knows his stuff!

Krystin L. from Denton, TX

Scott, by far, has been the best tutor I have ever had. I took the GMAT for the 6th time and increased my score by 100 points; the other 5 times my score stayed stagnant and never increased. I was reluctant to work with another tutor since I had used other prep materials and tutors, and was unable to truly understand the test. Scott not only prepared me for the concepts on the test, but literally helped change my perspective on this test. He constantly challenged me while providing resources and guidance along the way. His work speaks for itself. He is able to understand you as a person and really get in your head to show you how you think and channel that to how you need to think. It was a very rewarding process and I could not be any happier with my current scores.--Thank you Scott!!

Brandon N. from Buffalo Grove, IL

Scott showed me exactly what I needed to do to prepare for all parts of the GRE. His system is simple, easy to follow, and effective. He helped me to understand the math and verbal skills and gave me very clear information on how to use these skills in a logical way to answer questions. Scott also gave me the structure I needed to properly study and practice on my own. All of our sessions were done via Skype and the internet. After just a few minutes of our first lesson, I could see that his virtual classroom worked great. With Scott’s help, and a lot of hard work on my own, I scored high enough on the GRE to get accepted into ALL of the grad programs I applied to. Next fall, I’ll be attending grad school on a full study scholarship -- and Scott helped me get there! If you are willing to really work hard, I can’t imagine a better option for GRE prep than Scott!

David C. from Gaithersburg, MD

Scott tutored my son for a little over two months, mostly two or three times week, in order to prep for the GRE. He was very diligent and caring. He developed a strong rapport with my son, which is a plus. I believe he is very well intentioned and honest. I also believe that he is over confident in his methods versus the big name prep course. My son got the same score after all these sessions with Scott and spending more than one of the big name courses. No one method works with every student and the results are based largely on what the student puts into it. I do believe my son worked hard. He discouraged my son from switching to a big name (guaranteed) course. He understandably cannot afford to back his work with free tutoring, so now I have to pay for the big name course that comes with a guarantee to at least let the student take additional course for free or a hire more skilled tutor. I would recommend Scott as a tutor, but would take his confidence in his self designed methods with a grain of salt. If you or your child have a good score and want to make it better, Scott could be great. If there are challenges in test taking or other issues, I think a tutor with more formal training or one of the big names may be a better.

Gabe R. from Tallahassee, FL

Thank goodness I decided on Scott as my GRE tutor. After I left myself with only a week to prepare for the GRE, I started working with Scott. He put me on a very structured and streamlined program and accommodated my last-second scheduling needs. Scott’s precise knowledge of what I needed to know to prepare for the test was invaluable. In just 7 days, by following his program to the letter, I was able to achieve my program’s minimum score requirement on the math section and I came within 5 points on the verbal side. If I had started with Scott sooner, I am positive I would have scored even higher. If I did not work with Scott for that week, I am positive my score would have been awful. I really liked Scott’s virtual classroom. Because I was able to see him and his computer screen while we were working, the learning atmosphere he created was both very professional and effective. Scott is very easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable right away. I can understand if any of you are hesitant to try the online tutoring, but believe me, Scott’s system works great and he is a very personable guy. I did not see any drawbacks to it all. Scott has also given me great advice on my personal statement and other aspects of my grad school application. I absolutely recommend Scott and his virtual classroom for anyone, anywhere who is trying to get into grad school.

Kayla (student) W. from Tustin, CA

Scott has a way of explaining things that makes it easy to understand. He is the perfect choice in prepping for the GMAT exam. He has a specific gameplan and keeps me on track. I have selected the best tutor for me. Great experience thus far!

Sylvia S. from Lakewood, NJ

Scott is not just a GMAT tutor- he is a total GMAT prep master. He understands the test so well that he knows the techniques and strategies found in the prep books are useless, so he developed his own! He has these original techniques for preparing for each part that make perfect sense, are easy to apply and actually resulted in me being well-prepared for the test. I used three other tutors before him who had no clue about an overall game plan. Scott has a game plan that is thorough, practical and worked to dramatically improve my score- from just below 500 to well over 600!! There were a couple of other things about working Scott that were also wonderful. His virtual classroom is perfect: convenient and (just like he says) totally hands on. Also, working with him was a lot of fun- he has a way of keeping things light enough that lasting through a longer session was no problem. Finally, he had this great way of keeping me calm and confident even though this test had me completely freaked out! I can’t recommend Scott enough- I put my trust in him and it paid off completely!! Thanks so much Scott!!!!

Jay Or Lauren G. from Toms River, NJ

Scott is an excellent tutor. My daughter was very motivated and at first tried to study for her SATs on her own. However, after working with Scott, her scores improved drastically. Scott was able to pinpoint where she needed the extra help and fine tuning. He provided her with useful strategies and instruction. With Scott's help and guidance, my daughter's SAT scores went up 140 points and she achieved a perfect 800 on math!

Judy M. from Howell, NJ

Gives easy to understand help on the various math questions. Really helps with the abstract thinking that helps on the SAT. Also helped think of a thesis for the college essay and narrowed focus.

Missy W. from Fort Lauderdale, FL

Scott helped me improve my math score by 150 points (old scale)!! I am not mathematically inclined so Scott had his work cut out for him. He was very patient and always available. Thanks to him I am able achieve my academic goals!!! Thank you Scott!! You are the best!!

Maria L. from Pompano Beach, FL

I am really glad I found Scott as a tutor. He bends over backward to make sure that I receive the extra help I need in my graduate program (Legal Studies). Half of the time he helps me understand the law, the other half of the time he helps me understand how to research and write at a graduate level. Scott has a genuine passion for helping me learn and succeed, which makes me all the more motivated to learn. I highly recommend him. He is very passionate, and patient in helping others succeed in their studies.

John S. from Pompano Beach, FL

I have needed help over the past year in my MBA program. Scott has helped with the areas I was struggling with, especially with doing research and writing at the level needed to succeed in graduate school. Scott has helped me understand how to get better at this, so that overtime I have been able to do this more and more by myself!

Zachary D. from Fort Lauderdale, FL

Scott has been an invaluable resource for me during my first year of law school. He understands the core concepts of 1L classes very well and explains them to me with a nice mix of plain English and legal expertise. With Scott's help, I did well enough my first year to make Law Review! Even though he has moved out of my area, He still helps me regularly through telephone, email and video conferencing. If you want to understand the law, call Scott. Its that simple!

Louise S. from Pompano Beach, FL

Scott did an amazing job helping me with certain trouble spots I was having with the math portion of the GRE. Our tutoring session was through Skype- at first I was not sure how that would work, but Scott was so well-prepared that the time was completely productive. I totally recommend anyone who needs a math tutor to hire Scott!

Majed A. from Boca Raton, FL

I have been learning English as a second language, so I have been looking for a tutor who has the ability to help me to improve my language. I have been tutored by many teachers, but none of them has been helpful as much as Scott. His wide acquaintance helps me a lot to enrich my knowledge and discussion especially in culture and history. He is my best tutor.

Francis A. from Pompano Beach, FL

Scott is pleasant and easy to work with. My son, a teenager, found him easy to get along with and was impressed by his knowledge and his ability to convey that knowledge. For our purposes, Scott fit the bill very well.

Maraeura Y. from Hollywood, FL

The methodology Scott used to help me through my assignment process was very helpful and effective. He is very responsive and easy to communicate with, through the phone or via email. I was first apprehensive at finding a tutor online but he is definitely someone I would recommend to any students out there !

Gino S. from Fort Lauderdale, FL

Scott is always available when needed. He is knowledgeable, reliable, and patient. He tries his best to be there at your convenience. He was able to help my daughter improve her grades in Algebra and History.

Manuel A. from Hollywood, FL

Scott L. was extremely helpful and patient with me. I have to turn in a writing assignment for my Business Law II course, in which I thought it seemed nearly impossible to put together in one day since I waited to the last minute. Scott gave me a lot of hope and motivation to finish the writing assignment in which was due that same night at 11:59 pm. He made me see a side of me which I never knew I had. He is very knowledgeable in his field and is very reliable since I had to call him several times whenever I had a question. Thank you Scott, you saved helped me earn a higher grade on my Business Law course.

Jordan S. from Fort Lauderdale, FL

I have used a variety of tutors and most have been very bright. The difference with Scott was his understanding and attention to how I understood and comprehended topics and theories. Instead of just teaching the material to me he identified the most effective way I would comprehend the subject matter, creating a personalized plan to help me succeed. I Would recommend his services to anyone wanting an edge.

Mallory H. from Pompano Beach, FL

My daughter was in danger of failing the 5th grade and desperately needed help with math. We enlisted Scott's help a month before the FCAT and he was able work with my daughter so that she understood the concepts needed in order to pass. Not only did she pass the FCAT but his teaching methods were so great that she brought her grade up from an "F" to a "B" in just one grade period!!! Scott is kind, patient and really targets the areas needed for improvement!! For anyone with an elementary or middle school-aged child that need help in math, Scott is definitely a great tutor!!!!! My daughter thinks the world of him and my husband and I are so grateful!!

Cynthia K. from Shreveport, LA

How to prepare for my GRE. I like how he gives me lesson plans for the next time we have a lesson.

Rob V. from Savannah, GA

I worked with Scott for about 5 months and was very happy with the results. He is extremely knowledgable and was absolutely critical at helping me achieve the score I wanted. Scott has VERY high expectations of his students. As long as you put in the work, Scott's expertise will help you polish your skills and you'll see your score improve. It was a pleasure working with him. Highly recommended.

Ashleigh D. from San Pedro, CA

I worked with Scott for months in order to pass the GRE for grad school. I did very well on it and ended up getting in to my #1 choice! Scott was tough when he needed to be and encouraging and empathetic when I needed it. It was like he read my mind. He knew just the right words to say when I was frustrated and in need of some encouragement. I would absolutely recommend him. I don't think I could have or would have done it without him. He's honestly the best! Thanks Scott, I know I wasn't easy to tutor, but we beat the odds!

Loukas T. from Stamford, CT

Scott is extremely professional, great to work with, and, most importantly, helps you accomplish your goals. He was very flexible in scheduling and answered emails very quickly. He brought many of his own materials to the tutoring sessions which gave me more material to study for free. I could not recommend him more.

Majid Y. from New York, NY

First session Scott covers introduction to GRE and instruction how to achieve the score. He focus on the basic elements that needed for digging deeper as we go in the materials.

Stephen F. from Atlanta, GA

The initial conversation laid out the foundation of what to expect for future tutor sessions. He is very detailed oriented and makes the online tutoring sessions work.

Angela R. from Grandville, MI

We reviewed some quantitative reasoning measures. Scott is generous with tips that make learning fun and memorable. My confidence of doing well on the GRE continuous to increase.

Vianett M. from Phoenix, AZ

I have just begun my classes with Scott, but he has taught me strategies for how to study for the GRE, and which topics to cover.

Paul B. from Forest Hills, NY

I had done some homework in advance on what I wanted and we reviewed exactly what I needed. Scott is very knowledgeable and flexible. He gave me direction as well on what part of my PhD application was going to be most important, not just the GRE portion. I completely recommend. 5-stars!

Ashley C. from Chicago, IL

Scott outlined his approach to help me prepare for the GMAT. It was a great, dynamic first session. I am confident his methodology will help me achieve success!

Adam K. from Fair Lawn, NJ

Scott and I went over practical strategies for attacking reading comprehension questions for the GRE. My confidence is growing as I realize, with Scott's help, I can tackle the GRE and get a real chance at showcasing my capabilities to my choice graduate programs.

Leila O. from Brooklyn, NY

Scott did a great job of breaking things down for me and immediately gave me a number of extra materials to bolster my study plan. Can't wait to start seeing results!

Patrick W. from New York, NY

After trying to improve my GMAT quant score for several months with some test prep companies, I quickly became discouraged with my results. I read through a lot of books and other test prep material, but I never improved. I contacted several tutors through this site, and Scott was the first to respond (some tutors never responded at all and others did not keep their appointment time). After our initial lesson, Scott gave me some resources to improve my skills. Our first 4 lessons focused on improving fundamental skills. After I mastered each subject that the GMAT tested, we moved on to practicing GMAT questions and review the questions together during our lesson time. Working with Scott was really helpful to my improved score; I went from a 34 to a 42 on the quant section. I really feel that spending time on the basics and then working through GMAT questions together really helped me a lot. We did not spend much time on verbal because my score was already in the high 80s. If you are looking for a good tutor, I recommend giving Scott a try.

Eric G. from New York, NY

I worked with Scott over the final two months of preparation for the test. With Scott's help, my score improved by 60 points. He has great materials to share and works through problems in a thorough, consistent way that helps students build their GMAT skills. Highly recommended.

Tabitha T. from Atlanta, GA

I have dyslexia which heavily affected my ability to learn and retain grammatical knowledge. Scott is very patient and presents the problems and answers in a way that doesn't feel condescending or patronizing. I highly recommend him.

Gina J. from Amarillo, TX

Scott kept things light in spite of my anxiety and has restored my hope in my ability to pass the GMAT. I feel that between his expertise and my commitment we can achieve my desired goals.

Nicole E. from Lexington, SC

I have always struggled with math sections on standardized tests, and came to Scott after scoring fairly low on the GMAT. I was planning to take the GRE instead and needed help to improve my score. Scott was able to quickly diagnose my "problem spots" for test-taking skills and helped to give me practice and advice to overcome them. Whether you need help learning the material, or diagnosing WHY you keep missing certain questions, Scott has the skills to solve the problem. I was able to score above my goal for math section of the GRE thanks to Scott's help! 10/10 would recommend!
