I found James after interviewing multiple tutors for my sons—one a high school senior, the other a college freshman—and he immediately stood out. Not only is James knowledgeable across multiple subjects, but he also genuinely cares about his students. Hiring James turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. My younger son attended a boarding sports academy and needed ACT prep. James was incredibly flexible, finding time within my son's packed schedule and managing to fit in numerous sessions. Throughout this intense and challenging process, James remained consistently positive, patient, and encouraging. My older son, a college freshman, faces his own set of challenges, including fairly profound ADHD. James supported him not only with academic subjects but also with organizational skills. James checked in weekly to help plan out his schedule, stay on track, and remain accountable. He built a strong rapport with both of my sons and developed personalized, thoughtful plans tailored to each of their needs. The Personal Professor's Academic Partner Program was critical to my sons' continued success. In the end, both of my sons benefited greatly from James’ mentorship and made tremendous academic progress. Furthermore, both of them are eager to continue working with James next year—a true testament to his effectiveness as both a tutor and a mentor.

Aiza is truly one of a kind! She has a gentle and patient approach that has made a significant impact on my three kids. Under her guidance, they have made remarkable progress in mathematics, grammar, and poetry. Aiza also introduced them to sketching, sparking their creativity and confidence in the arts. Her ability to connect with each child and make learning enjoyable is truly exceptional. We are grateful for her dedication and the positive influence she has had on our family!

I like Ryan because he is relatable. He is a good teacher but switches things up because he is still a young adult. I think he’s able to teach me because he’s still in touch with modern games and music. I find it fun even to learn from because it’s nice to be able to relate to a teaching figure. --- Kieran

Holly babysat my 4 grandchildren on a regular basis for years until she left for college. She was able to keep them busy enough that they didn't fight. They played games, watched movies, and she accompanied them outside to ride their bikes or jump on the trampoline. My older grandson had homework packets he needed to complete every week and Holly would go over it with him, making sure he answered all the questions correctly. Also, I appreciated how flexible she was when I was running late.
