I worked with Arno when I was taking general chemistry and organic chemistry in my first two years of college. He's clearly very passionate about the material and I appreciated how willing he was to adjust his teaching style to fit my needs as a student. Whenever I couldn't understand something, he would find creative new ways to explain the material and would connect it with my own personal interests whenever possible. He was a fun and helpful tutor to work with!

Josh Frank was great to work with. He is well organized. Every tutoring session I had with him was carefully planned out and we were able to cover a lot of material each time. I had Mr. Frank tutor me for the MCAS Biology exam. He was very encouraging and positive. He helped me stay focused and understand the material. I am happy to say that I was able to pass the Biology MCAS exam in February of this year and then I was able to receive my high school diploma. I now plan to enroll in college. I would highly recommend The Learning Nexus for anyone who is looking for a great tutoring experience.
