Reviews

Al is working with my son who doesn't really care for school prep for the ACTs. He knows how to talk to kids that struggle in school and motivate them to practice ACTs as well as non-traditional practice such as timed reading of newspaper articles. He has been great!

Al is patient, professional and has provided a plethora of information as to how to improve my approach of my assignments. He helps you understand the WHY which to me is important. I can?t thank you enough for a of your help and your extremely prompt responses.

Al helped with AP US History thesis and claims for a paper. He was very helpful. He was flexible with his availability to accommodate my late evening appointment. Definitely recommend for others.

Al helped my son to work on his accent for correct pronunciation and is working well with him, helping my son to gain confidence in the correct tense use of verbs.

This review was written by my son, the student! Al has been helping me with my college level economics courses, such as Macroeconomics, International Trade and Econometrics. His approach is to discuses and analyze all questions in detail and enable the student to "teach" himself/herself to understand the topic. He has been very helpful even with subjects that he was not familiar with, by discussing them at length until we came up with a solution. I think this way of tutoring has been very effective for me.

Happy to say my first lesson with Al was very helpful. I'm very excited for my next one! He was very specific in making sure that he worked around my needs and my business.

Al O. is an excellent tutor. He helped me attain a great score on the GMAT and got me into business schools that I wanted to go to. He taught me how to approach the different types of questions asked on the GMAT and went through various strategies to help me prepare for the exam. I highly recommend him for anyone that needs help preparing for the GMAT exam.

Al has been a great match for my 13 year old son. Al quickly instilled confidence in my son about what he knows. He developed a positive way of thinking and no longer dreads homework. Within a few sessions, my son moved from comments like "I can't do it" to being enthusiastic about a major project. Al has a 'helpful big brother' approach that is non-critical and put my son at ease. Al quickly determined strengths and needs and has given attention to both. We look forward to my son becoming more skilled and have added another subject area to his lessons.

While I haven't written a review for every lesson, I must say that Al's work with my son has delivered positive results in Spanish. Additionally, Al's communications about personal motivation, study skills and how to leverage getting better grades has spilled over to other subjects. Al's a great tutor.

We were looking for a Spanish tutor. A friend recommended Mr. O. Since being tutored by Mr. O, our daughter?s Spanish knowledge/fluency has increased dramatically. Mr. O made it fun and easy for our daughter. He was so friendly and supportive. My daughter said it did not feel like a tutoring session, but rather ?like sitting with a coach?. He made her so comfortable. I liked how Mr. O. not only addressed our concerns, but took the time to sit and talk with our daughter to see where she felt her challenges were with her Spanish learning success. I am more than pleased to write on behalf of Mr. O., his background as ?a tutor, coach and cheerleader? set him above other tutors we have experienced. We recommend him highly!

Al is a wonderfully gifted tutor who makes learning an easy and fun experience. My daughter loved the first history session she had with him in which he explained the several pages of the Chapter almost like a story, which helped her retain the stuff a lot easier and a lot faster. She said that he is great at simplifying difficult concepts and explaining them in an easy manner. She also felt that he encouraged her to think differently and ask questions to expand her thought process. Al was very enthusiastic but not at all intimidating and he is extremely knowledgeable.
