Personal Statement

Hi friends! I'm Ron and I was born and raised in Southern California. I received my BA in Philosophy from Biola University and my MA in Philosophy from CSU Long Beach, with a 3.8 GPA. In addition, I have completed 27 units of education courses.

Here's a quick rundown of my tutoring experience: I started tutoring in 1997 and have been doing test prep since 2003. I gained experience working for a handful of companies before becoming an independent tutor in 2007. I have taught students of all...

Reviews

Ron has been helping my son prepare for the ACTs. His approach is excellent because he requires my son to do prep work prior to the tutoring sessions. This is helpful because he can identify the areas where my son needs the most coaching and then they review those during the sessions.

Ron helped my high school junior improve his ACT score. My son had already taken the test once and really needed to work on his Math and English scores. After a few months of working with Ron, his English score went from a 19 to a 28, and his Math score improved from a 25 to a 29. Now they're working on Reading and Science and still reviewing the other sections. Ron is a great tutor not only because he explains everything well, but he believes in student practice. To really make great strides, your student must be willing to do the extra work that Ron recommends. If your student is dedicated to improving then I am confident Ron's totoring will make a difference!

Ron was on-time, very knowledgeable and helpful about GRE prep. Looking forward to other tutoring sessions with him. He recommended a study plan along with appropriate study material.

I give Ron 5 stars!! Ron has done AWESOME with my son and we couldn't be happier. My son is high functioning autistic and has trouble with focus at times. Ron is very patient and kind to him and his teaching methods work very well with my son. You will be pleased with Ron as your tutor!!

Ron worked well for my son Ethan. He was very patient and explained how to do the math problems in a way that my son could understand. After comparing a few of the tutors Ron was my son's favorite and Ethan felt that he understood Ron's way of teaching best.

Ron has been tutoring my son in Algebra and I have to say he is SO knowledgeable, patient and kind! He goes above and beyond to make sure he can make an impact and help get my son back on track. I am so very glad we found Ron and would highly recommend him to anyone needing tutoring!

Ron has been helping me work through philosophy of language and linguistics. He is an excellent tutor and teacher. Not only is he always prepared and expert in the areas he teaches, he is also an outstanding communicator. He explains things by making sharp and clarifying distinctions, and providing memorable examples and analogies. He is also precise and very careful with this words; that's huge when learning is the goal. I especially like that Ron is always honest about his skills: even if he is competent in an area but doesn't feel expert in it, he will let you know. It's been a pleasure learning with Ron. Without any reservations, I'm happy to give him my highest recommendation!
