ACT/SAT, ISEE/SSAT, Testtaking Anxiety, and College Essay Writing
“The difference between Jim and all the other tutors we have used is that he really cared about how well the girls did on the test. It made a big impact with the girls knowing that it mattered to him. He is the best at this and we feel so grateful.”
“Jim taught me that there is no such thing as failure, only feedback, and I have since carried that with me wherever I go. I still read his motivational messages when I am feeling down. I am especially grateful for his teaching me breathing exercises to help tackle my testtaking anxiety.”
“He is a rare tutor who really cares about his students. He is always so intuitive about what is working or not working for the student and caters his lessons to their needs. Jim keeps trying every approach until he finds the one that works for them. He is truly rare and our daughter is so fortunate to have worked with him.

“Declan is a great guy. He’s down to Earth, works at the pace that’s good for me, and keeps it real. He doesn’t teach things that are over my head, and I can definitely tell that he used to be a teacher. He has that professional aspect to him.”
“Declan has really helped me understand Pre-calculus. He teaches me how the problems actually function, rather than just plugging numbers into an equation, and that’s helped my grades a lot.”
“Jack thoroughly enjoyed working with both Jim and Declan. They made the process fun for him. He’s taken a number of tools with him into the rest of his life - reducing the anxiety and stress levels that he’s had for myriad reasons. And for us, the test was such a perfect day. He had such a swagger when he came to the car. I said ‘Jack, how did you feel?’ He said ‘Mom, I felt awesome. I had no anxiety, no stress. I did really, really well.’ It was an amazing experience.”
