Steve has lot of experience in the educational field, he could patiently listen to me, could identify the shortcomings and start working on it. Steve is very dynamic to understand the situation and suggest the possible drill to overcome the fear in presentation. Steve was able to help me on a last minute preparation of a talk.

Was extremely patient and flexible, answered all of our questions and concerns. Got a productive start on the college essay process. Thanks! Booking again soon.

Stephen is incredibly responsive to our desires and well prepared for the lessons with our kids. We have him working with both our kids on different subjects and they are engaged!

Stephen helped me feel more confident about my upcoming test. He helped me strategize ways to help me test better by going over potential test questions and helped me manage my time for the reading portion. After one session I feel he is there to help me succeed. He created a PowerPoint for me to look back on with details about my test and links to work and study guides I can do before seeing him again. I will meet with Stephen every week until my test!

Stephen helped with the essay and analysis of the subject, but also took the time to teach about poetry, writing mechanics. My son feels much more confident in his understanding. Excellent tutor.

Stephen has done a great job connecting with my son who is quiet and reserved. He?s helped him to improve his grade in English through his lesson plans. The way he presents information is engaging and goes deeper than what my son is learning in class making the sessions worthwhile!
- Regina L. from Brentwood, CA
Stephen is a very knowledgeable and fun tutor. He taught Ada how to write with more advanced grammar, and how to choose more complex vocabulary. Ada loves Stephen, and so do we. Thank you Stephen.

Stephen is teaching English and math concepts to my 4th grader. He is very patient, positive, and knowledgeable. Apart from teaching which he is very good at, he also knows how to encourage kids and build their confidence. His years of experience definitely show in his method of teaching.Highly recommend.

Stephen is a wonderful tutor. On top of being very knowledgeable, he has a unique style of teaching. My daughter is very comfortable and is learning. I have no doubt she will master writing with Stephen?s support. I also appreciate his detailed updates after the lesson so I can follow on with my daughter?s progress. I highly recommend Stephen!
