For twelve years, I have helped students achieve dramatic results on standardized tests. For half of that time, I worked in China, where I learned the secrets of the top test prep companies and was later hired by them to develop new programs and test strategies. During this time, I was...

He was very helpful. He knew how to work with the kids around this age and how to improve them with that. We can use his help more in future if needed. My son did enjoy working with him.

Aaron worked with the children to prepare for the Middle and Elementary SSAT verbal and reading sections over three weeks, twice a week. Scores improved 25 percentage points on each section, from around 50th to over 75th percentile, for the Middle Test. Elementary SSAT taker?s score improved to over 95th percentile. His techniques are effective, and his approach is friendly and respectful. We are very grateful to have found him!

Aaron worked with my two elementary-aged children to prepare for the Middle and Elementary SSAT verbal and reading sections over three weeks, twice a week. Scores improved 25 percentage points on each section, from around 50th to over 75th percentile, for the Middle Test. Elementary SSAT taker?s score improved to over 95th percentile. His techniques are effective, and his approach is friendly and respectful. We are very grateful to have found him!

My daughter has met with many tutors to improve her English, particularly for the SAT and AP, but has not been impressed with any tutor so far. Even after the very first lesson, however, my daughter already starts to experience that the strategies and tactics Aaron teaches her are super helpful and practical. Aaron has been by far the best tutor she has ever had. She is learning a lot from every lesson and feels her improvement. Also, she learns how she should study productively when she is not getting direct lessons. The homework is well designed for my kid to do a good review of the lesson materials without feeling too much burden and to practice applying strategies and concepts. I will write another review after my daughter finishes all the lessons and her AP exam. Regardless, Aaron has been such a fantastic tutor. His strategy and study skills are super helpful and have been very valuable.

Aaron is a patient and excellent tutor. My daughter is learning a lot from him for her Ssat prep. He is very knowledgeable and breaks it down in a way she understands.
- Andy T. from Huntington Station, NY
Aaron is great offering how to make the essay more in depth. It really help my son think broadly and deeply about his strengths?.Without Aaron?s help, the essay will not look so appealing. Big thanks to Aaron as every essay submitted is wonderful.
- Robert H. from Oakland, CA
Aaron made difficult concepts super clear and gave me useful tips! The two hours with him was packed with information, and I definately learned a lot. It was a pity that I didn't go to him earlier, that would've made my scores much higher, but my results were already higher than the mock tests after tutoring with Aaron.
- Aileen W. from Groton, CT
Aaron has helped with my son on interviews. All the interviewers are quite happy with my son?s response, not only the contents but the confidence and relax my son has shown. My son is very well prepared for interviews as Aaron has given him the skills to search for the school?s information and let him know the best way to respond. Aaron is really helping and can not thank him enough.

My son first met with Aaron on line around August and his SSAT Practice test was around 1900. Then my son started the lesson with Aaron from mid-September and very quickly within one month my son SSAT practice test reached 2100. Then my son took the official test on Nov. 11 and he got 2265 (90%) and then another official test on Dec. 9th and he got almost 2300- (93%). With Aaron?s professional help, my son really makes a very impossible mission come true. Big thanks to Aaron.

In one month, Aaron helped our son improve his SSAT score by 299 points ? 40 percentile points! Our son had no prior standardized test taking experience and we had never used a tutor before, so we weren?t sure what to expect. Aaron hit the ground running, and we could immediately see it was helping. Aaron had an infectious sense of urgency, and he also brought a surprising amount of compassion and humor to the process. He was quick to see why our son missed certain types of questions and helped him build strategies to avoid mistaken assumptions. He helped our son understand standardized testing patterns and oddities and to use his time efficiently during the test. Homework was appropriate to each stage of progression and the logbook of personalized tips was also very helpful. Aaron went the extra mile in every regard, right up to, and even after, the test. Aaron was great to deal with and we could not recommend him more.
- SW P. from Kirkland, WA
Aaron helped me crack reading comprehension with simple, effective strategies. His patience and clear explanations boosted my confidence and RC accuracy. Highly recommend!
- Nick S. from Seattle, WA
Each lesson is a masterclass in SSAT prep. Aaron is incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of SSAT prep. My daughter appreciates his kind and calm demeanor and his approch to problem solving. I am looking forward to seeing outcomes in the future.
- Ama A. from New York, NY
Aaron managed to build fantastic rapport with our daughter and helped her with preparing for SSAT. We saw improvements within 4 weeks on the mock tests that were substantial, giving us high confidence for the upcoming assessment.
- Ingo B. from Brooklyn, NY
My son, Eric started SSAT prep rather late in mid August. He got excited after summer camp at a prestigious private school. On his first mock test, he got 697 for verbal and 708 for reading. I was lucky to find Aaron on Wyzant and asked him to have 3 sessions per week. He was very strategic, effective and patient for Eric. Especially, Aaron's teaching of marking underlines on keywords and writing the main idea after reading were especially helpful. In two month time, at his first real test, Eric's score got boosted to 773 (95%) for verbal and 731 (94%) for reading. I strongly recommend Aaron.
- Jonathan J. from Palo Alto, CA
Aaron was patient and asked a lot of questions to be ready for the session. Walked thru my kid's assignment step by step how to improve. Made sure my kid was paying attention and brought back his attention.
- Na S. from Bellevue, WA
