“Outstanding Tutor”

“Stephanie has been tutoring my son, a high school junior, in math, physics, and AP Chemistry. She has helped him tremendously. She is patient and is willing to take extra time when needed and even offered an online session when he needed help and she was out of town. He has gone from feeling confused and overwhelmed to feeling confident and performing well. I have 3 kids and have hired tutors before. Stephanie is the best.”

“Very professional, patient, multi-talented, and works well with students”

“Our son needs tutoring in a variety of subjects—geometry, Spanish, physics, English. It’s amazing that Stephanie can provide high level support in all of these areas. First lesson was yesterday–she was very professional and incredibly patient with our son. We are looking forward to more sessions.”

“I’m so very glad that I met you.”

“Before, I needed help preparing for the math section of the SAT test. I had taken it once before meeting with you and I had done poorly in math. I had to take it once more in my senior year and do well before applying to colleges, so I was looking for a tutor.

I’m so very glad that I met you. Working with you made me feel more confident in math. You taught me how to approach test questions in multiple ways and the way you simplified even what felt like the most complex math problems never ceased to amaze me.

Another aspect of you that I really appreciated was your patience; at times when I had trouble understanding, you were very calm. Moreover, you were always amiable and flexible. If I had to cancel a session, you always made yourself available to meet soon after.

The several helpful problem-solving strategies you taught worked for me. My SAT math score increased by 180 points! A few times I asked you for help in the Critical Reading and Writing sections of the SAT, and the advices you gave me helped me advance in those areas, too. Sometimes you even helped me with Precalculus for school. I did well on exams which I studied for with you. Another thing about you that greatly surprised me was your ability to help me expertly with almost anything. For example, in the case of Precalculus, when I needed help with a specific topic, you were able to grasp the concept quickly after scanning through explanations and examples in the textbook.

For anyone who needs a tutor, I would strongly recommend Stephanie for all of the reasons I mentioned above. She has been my most favorite tutor, and she’s bound to become others’ as well! 🙂

“Went the extra mile in her explanations”

Originally, I was having difficulty keeping up with the work in my AP Chemistry class, along with everything else in my hectic junior year schedule. I needed someone not only to help reteach the material, but also to help organize the assignment load in a manner that was feasible for me to deal with.

Thus, when I found Stephanie, I was pleasantly surprised by how well she knew the material and was able to relate the information in a way that was easier for me to understand. She took the time to make sure I understood every part of each chapter and went the extra mile in her explanations. She frequently wrote out notes and outlines, drew out elaborate diagrams, and even planned out schedules for me to work with when we couldn’t meet. Also, we went over countless practice problems and reviewed everything I needed to know before tests. This was especially valuable in May when she not only helped me for AP Chemistry, but also for my other tests like AP Spanish Language. My performance in both classes improved as the year progressed, and I ended up getting a perfect 5 on the AP Chemistry exam and a 770 on the SAT II Chemistry test, as well as a 750 on the SAT II Spanish test.

Based on my results with Stephanie, I strongly recommend her to anyone who needs help with their schoolwork. She is extremely knowledgeable in many subjects, and is always patient whilst teaching. Stephanie was also very reliable and flexible with scheduling, especially when she was busy with her own schoolwork. I am so glad to have worked with her this past year, and am confident that you will, too!

“Good communicator”

“My son has met with Stephanie a couple of times now and really likes working with her. She is a good communicator with the student and the parent. For students she is able to explain difficult topics (precalculus) in easy terms. She does a great job letting parents know what is going on with their kids and how lessons are progressing.”

“Outstanding Tutor”

“Stephanie tutored me for the GRE over the course of a month, and she was phenomenal! She not only help me boost my scores from a 150 verbal and 153 quantitative to a 156 verbal and 158 quantitative, but she instilled confidence in me as well. We met twice a week, and even with such few tutoring sessions, the fact that I was able to feel so much more confident, and able to see such a jump in my scores was incredible! I loved having her as a tutor, as she was very flexible and really worked with my schedule in order to assure that I would receive my tutoring time necessary to succeed. She helped me develop plans and learn strategies to help me succeed on this test, and as you can see from the jump in scores, it worked! I am so grateful to have had Stephanie as a tutor and would recommend her to anyone!”
