AJ Tutoring was really helpful in preparing for the SAT in a short amount of time. It's not overkill like some SAT classes.

AJ tutoring has helped me prepare for tests all year and take the stress out of the work. Also, all the tutors I have worked with have been extremely helpful and friendly.

St. Ignatius College Preparatory parent

Ryan had the perfect temperament and style for my son. I felt that my son respected Ryan and applied himself for his sake as well as not wanting to disappoint Ryan. The rapport was very important to me and Ryan fit the slot perfectly.

Our son has had a great experience working with David. The skills David has taught him will help him throughout his academic career, long after the SAT is over.

It was extremely helpful and I learned so many new skills I never even thought existed while in a friendly and positive atmosphere.

Andrew helped my son focus on his weaker areas and still maintain his skills on the stronger areas. Andrew did this with a very limited amount of time.

Sheela M.P.

Willow Glen High School parent

My daughter found the tutoring very helpful. Karen was easy for her to work with, and provided valuable instruction. She improved her SAT score from 1230 to 1430. She was very happy and felt that the tutoring made a huge difference for her.

Leland High School parent

AJ Tutoring was terrific! Our tutor hit Anna with a completely different approach; his style was especially good for Anna. Her improvement gives her a better shot at early admission to Georgetown.

Woodside Priory parent and guidance counselor

I hate standardized testing. I always viewed it in a negative way. AJ Tutoring, specifically Kafi, has inspired me to look it at more as a puzzle I have to solve than a terrible test.

The tiny tips and tricks that my tutor taught me were awesome because they made the test faster and less stressful.

I came into tutoring knowing very little about the rigour and focus the SAT demands, and without my tutor I would be completely lost!

My teacher was very engaging and confident which made me excited to be in class and studying for the SAT.
