Ms. Olya helped me with both college essays and SAT tutoring. She is really kind and patient with the teaching process. I enjoyed conversing with her, and I learned how to properly edit my essays. She is very good at teaching how to convey your ideas through writing. She also helped me get over the 700s for SAT English by breaking down all core concepts. Most importantly, I was able to get into my top Ivy dream school!

Best Math Tutor

DAN = EXCEPTIONAL in every way. Best experience I could've had with a tutor.
He worked with me for a solid six months, elevating my composite SAT score from 1250 to 1510! His approach is super unique, and it's unlike any other tutor or rigid commercial course.
Dan actually spent a year writing SAT items across all exam sections in 2020 - as a part-time fill in for the College Board. So he offers a way of viewing the exam, from how concept mastery to application to strategy (learning to naturally see/spot how the exam writers attempt to throw students off) all in this gradual process in which, if you follow his lead but also remain interactive and vocal with him about absolutely anything, you will feel the progress begin to take shape.
It took me 6 months with him, and we met consistently. I opted to focus only on the Reading/WL until the end, when I asked he provide some general tips for the math (which were super helpful and certainly assisted with me adding last minute points to a math score I already felt was strong enough. My weaknesses really were in the Reading/WL.
If you get the chance to invest time with him, you'll see how he is not rigid in just thinking everyone learns the same way. He actively draws from top-notch resources, College Board exams, and much more to create a learning experience in which he discovers how you as the learner will not memorize. Instead, you'll internalize. And then begin to see how the SAT presents the concepts, how to efficiently and effectively deal with them, and see the exam as not something to fear but something to enter and destroy!

We've tried tutors in the past, but Ahsan has a special gift for explaining complex concepts and was such a pleasure to work with. His experience with online learning made it so easy and convenient for my daughter to connect when she needed extra help. I can't recommend him enough.
