My son loves the first class. He said it’s the first time for the ISEE class he didn’t even realize 1 hour passed so quickly until he saw the time.

My niece had an absolutely fantastic first session with Evan. As a soon to be second time SAT exam taker he took time to learn what her strengths and needs were and then focus on her individual prep needs . After reading his credentials and other parent reviews I had a feeling he was going to be an excellent tutor and he is!

Evan tutored our 17 year old triplets for the SAT exam. He helped to increase their math scores significantly. Although we had a scheduled time, he was flexible and stayed longer if necessary. The kids enjoyed working with him, and he was very patient and accommodating. Thanks Evan for all of your help!

Evan was fantastic in helping our daughter with her honors algebra. Our daughter was about 4 weeks behind and Evan did a great job of catching her up and keeping her up to date with the new sections. He was proficient in a wide range of complicated mathematical problems including Algebra and Geometry. Evan was also very patient and got our daughters grades up 40 percentage points!

Amanda
Evan was brought in to help prepare our son for the ACT. Evan has the background and knowledge in this area which was evident when he started to work with our son. He is very easy going, and easy to converse with which made it better for our son. Afterwards, our son expressed positive comments that Evan was patient and had great insight into the areas needing to be addressed. We highly recommend Evan for future parents contemplating whether or not the higher fees are worth it compared to lesser hourly charging tutors. Thank you Evan!

Vicki
I was very pleased with Evan's work ethic, he's very professional and patient. He gave me positive feedback and explained clearly to me what he feels works as far as what employers want to see in any resume. I would definitely ask him to tutor me again in any subject. He is very knowledgeable and he is very easy to work with!

Evan has had several tutoring sessions with my daughter. He has accommodated her schedule and has been very patient with her. He always arrived on time and got started to work immediately. He has overcome her lack of interest and brought her greater understanding in general of the math and essay questions. We will use him again when her schedule is open for more tutoring. She and I are both very happy with him!

Evan has been tutoring my daughter for the SAT for a number of weeks now and things have been going very well. He is very responsive to emails and phone calls, he is easy to reach. He is always on time and willing to remind me about scheduling appointments each week which I really appreciate. My daughter reports that she is learning a lot in her sessions. Evan is very positive. When I overhear the sessions I can hear that he often provides positive reinforcement for attempts and he is able to put a positive spin on incorrect answers as well. His approach seems to be highly motivating for my daughter. I am sure this is a great approach for any person he tutors. I highly recommend Evan to anyone who needs tutoring.

We were looking for a tutor for our son in math over the summer. He had fallen behind in 6th grade math and was tasked with finishing a monster packet in order to ensure that he could go directly into 7th grade math in the fall. Evan was great from the start. He broke things down, used props and visuals to help explain concepts and was extremely patient. He even re-explained something to me that I had forgotten, so that I could go over the packet and make sure my son was doing it correctly. He was able to finish the packet by the deadline and I am confident that he is prepared for the coming school year. And it's comforting to know that we'll have Evan's help when school starts, to make sure that he doesn't fall behind again.

Evan was great!! He really helped my daughter with her college entrance essays. I highly recommend him!! My daughter was so stressed out over college applications and Evan was wonderful and efficient and very knowledgable. He was very prompt and did not waste a single minute.

Evan really saved the day for me. I was very nervous to have to retake my Cbest Math test. Apparently I had learned my elementary math incorrectly and have been dependent upon a calculator. I had really bad experiences in math and developed a mental block. I has failed my first Cbest math and felt so lost due to all of my misteachings. In a short amount of time Evan retaught me everything from the beginning. I needed a 41 to pass and I scored a 61!!! I couldn't believe it. I have never felt confident in math and Evan was so patient with me, he really built my confidence and simplified everything for me. I was under a tremendous amount of pressure as passing this test was the only way to continue my graduate program. Not only was I able to be calm for the test, I even finished my test an hour early and felt 100% confident about it. I am very grateful and I highly recommend Evan as a tutor.

Rachel
My son had 3 weeks to fully prepare for the ISEE exam. Evan came in and THOROUGHLY prepared him. He was able to quickly assess my son's strengths and weaknesses and, with humor and focus, got him fully up to speed in vocab, comprehension, algebra, and essay writing. Evan is fantastic. And my son actually looked forward to their sessions!
-
Ella
Evan is awesome! Very patient and laid back. I am not a quick learner when it comes to math and Evan always takes his time explaining things and has no problem going over the same problem as man times he needs to, to make sure I understand the material. My skills have definitely improved in the short time we've been working together.

My son needed help in Geometry. He loves football and to stay with the team he had to pass his test. We needed a tutor and needed it now. I hired a tutor and I am sure she was good but it was not the right match for my son. She made it sound like there was no hope for my son and to turn him around it was going to take a long long time. My son refused to work with her and said he did not care for another tutor. After going back and forth with my son I convinced him to give another tutor a shot and if it did not work then we will come up with another plan. I saw Evan and read his reviews and thought he may be a good match. He looked like he could be the older brother to my son and put him on the right path. He came in and right away spoke to my son about football. Right there I saw my son’s interest rising and was ready to listen what Evan had to say. He went right into the subject and started working with him. He also knew how to work with my son to make Geometry not look like a task. He did not waste any time and never gave us any negative feedback. My son looks forward to his tutoring sessions and he passed his test.

He knows his subject and is able to handle all topics not only the ACT. He is very professional on this first visit.
-
Gary
Evan did an excellent job quickly establishing rapport with our 10 year old son and explaining to him what he could expect on the ISEE. He walked him through all sections, did a great job working on strategies, and was an overall excellent tutor. We look forward to working with him further.

Kristin
My mom feels more comfortable using her computer since having her sessions with Evan. She felt he was very patient and identified many of the issues that were preventing her from using her computer, and especially email, successfully.

Julia
This is our Second school year with Evan W, who has been working with my 10th grader , who is highly gifted with ADHD. Evan has been FANTASTIC! He is patient, explains the lessons in a way that my son can understand them, and has helped him feel greatly at ease, with a subject that he normally has quite a bit of anxiety over - math (algebra, geometry)! Evan is extremely reliable, great communicator, and a very hard worker. I highly recommend him and we are looking forward to working with him again in the near future.

Dr Richard
Evan was very helpful teaching my 9th grade honors student techniques for managing study time, organizing workflow, and memorization - very helpful and productive tutoring session, I recommend him highly for this type of lesson.
-
Roni
Evan helped my daughter study for the Upper ISEE. She felt so confident taking the test because of him. He taught her strategies on taking the test, what things to look for, and how to find the best answer if you are unsure of the correct answer, He went over all the math and helped teach her math she had not yet encountered, he went over vocabulary, critical thinking and reading comprehension. He always arrived on time or early. He made learning fun. She really enjoyed having him as her tutor! We would definitely recommend Evan and use him again in the future!
-
Chris
Evan worked really hard to get my daughter ready for the ISEE. We didn't have a whole lot of time, and he was able to cram in a lot of information in. He was accommodating and flexible with his schedule. He was patient and encouraging.
-
Beryt
Evan was very knowledgeable about the ISEE test and was able to outline a plan for mastering the test after he met with my 8th-grade son for the first visit. I was very impressed with him. He helped my son stay focused, even though the visits were more than an hour (at my request), and my son described him as a combination of funny but serious. In the end, my son did very well on the test! Which is a huge testament to Evan's skills and talent as a tutor. GREAT find.

Lisa
Evan came here for the first time yesterday and got right to work helping my daughter understand everything she got wrong on her Algebra I assessment test (which was a lot). He worked on every concept with her until she felt she understood. He is an engaged and engaging tutor and she is eager to work with him again, because he really was able to help her understand and work the problems! Pretty miraculous really, and we are very appreciative.
-
Patricia
Knowledgeable, professional, and able to adapt to my son so that he could stay focused and productive for nearly 2 hours. Remarkable given that my son is 10 years old. Evan's affect is relaxed and winsome but he has clear and structured lessons goals for each lesson.
-
Vicky
Evan has been helping me with my ACT studying for a while now and he is so great! He has not only helped my score go up by teaching me the concepts, but he also has helped me learn studying techniques and how to understand the test! 100% recommend!

Carole
Evan has been working with my 11 year old in preparation of taking the middle level ISEE exam. He is very caring and patient, always prompt and flexible. My son enjoys working with him and looks forward to their sessions. I highly recommend Evan. We are lucky to be working with him.
-
Amy
Evan worked for many hours with my 8th grade daughter to help prepare her for the Upper Level ISEE. My daughter learned a great deal from Evan, and she appreciated his funny and low key way of teaching. He taught her many test taking skills, and used examples that she said she was able to put to use on the exam. The materials he worked with and recommended were up to date and very helpful. He was always reliable and made a big effort to schedule as many lessons as we felt she needed before the test. We highly recommend Evan for standardized test prep!

On time. Knew his stuff. My son really liked him a lot and he now understands all the material. I would definitely recommend him - especially for Algebra 2 for high school.
-
Jeanine
Evan is a great tutor. Besides helping your child learn the material, he has a very amazing way of communicating with them making the learning environment stress free. I highly recommend him.

Brittany & Leslie
Evan was invaluable in helping my daughter with her college algebra class. In the beginning of the semester she was barely passing, but with Evan’s experience, patience and flexible schedule my daughter ended the semester with a B! I also recommend him as a parent of a student with special needs. My daughter has a speech disability and he was able to make all the material very understandable to her. Evan is the way to go!

Annamarie
The minute Evan arrives, he immediately engages my son and gets him to focus on the task at hand. I am already starting to see better confidence with my son in approaching these exams. We will always be thankful to Evan.
-
Donald
I was seeking a tutor on a very short notice to help prepare my 11th grader for upcoming PSAT. I reviewed and emailed a variety of tutors but Evan was the only who responded in a very timely manner. His willingness to come to our location and adjust his schedule to accommodate our needs was extremely helpful. My son benefited so much from the 1 on 1 session with Evan. He went into the PSAT testing with extremely high confidence and feels that he had a greater command of the material than if we attend the Kaplan courses. We will be scheduling with Evan long term to prepare further for SAT and ACT.
-
Alison
Evan was professional and very knowledgeable. He tutored my 11 grader in SAT math, and really knew his stuff. We will be hiring him again. I would recommend him highly.
-
Jill
In the first session, Evan took his time to assess the areas in which my son needed to focus for the SAT. He provided a refresher in rusty areas and was very patient.
-
Alyssa
Evan is such an amazing teacher. After our second session I had more confidence in my math skills. He's very understanding and finds different ways to show you how to work a problem.
-
Michael M
We were hard pressed to find a tutor for the ISEE who knew the types of questions and knew the best test taking strategies. He's engaging in his approach and customizes it based upon the need of the student. Highly recommend him for ISEE upper level prep.
-
Jen
My daughter was reluctant to have a tutor at first because she was afraid of being thought of as not so bright. Evan made her comfortable now she is looking forward to the next lesson!
-
Sharyn
My daughter is studying for the ISEE exam and in only two sessions with Evan, she already is making huge strides in math. Being an entering 8th grader, she has not had geometry or trig yet and he is doing an amazing job teaching her these concepts. We are so happy we found him!
-
Sharon
My son had a very productive and constructive first lesson with Evan last Sunday. Evan went over pretty much every topic on ISEE, explained things in ways easy to grasp, recommended online sources and test prep materials. Everything went very efficiently. Not only did Evan show professionalism and knowledge, but also is a very respectful and considerate person. He notified us for running later in advance twice before the lesson.
-
Erika R
Great lesson with Evan! He was on time, prepared and very personable. He has a plan to prepare my son for the SAT. My son is looking forward to His next lesson!

Gia Maddox
Evan tutored both of my sons for the HSPT. They both were accepted to all of the schools to which they applied and they were both awarded scholarship money based on their scores. Both of my boys loved working with Evan and were very motivated. Evan is so easy to work with, he’s extremely professional and his tutoring is highly effective. They actually looked forward to their sessions and were excited to take the tests. Thank you Evan for helping my boys achieve their dreams!

Ameena N
Evan had less than 10 days to get our daughter ready to take the SAT for the second time. Her score increased by 170 after only 5 sessions. He also helped her sharpen her test taking techniques and worked patiently with her to increase her speed in problem solving. Our daughter has since been offered 3 scholarships. Thanks Evan!
-
Carmella Sherman
Evan helped me study for both the ISEE and the HSPT. Every lesson he always asked me what I felt I needed to work on to make sure I am confident in every aspect. It was an amazing experience and I am beyond grateful for Evan helping me get into the school of my dreams.
