Jeremy A. says, "Worked a solid 4 months with Dan on primarily the Readings sections of the SAT with just a bit of bump for math. Took the June exam and destroyed it. Score, overall, up nearly 150 on Reading/WL section. And I had spent time and money on another tutor before him who just treated me like a robot. Dan is cool and funny, but he's also intense and so super invested in your potential and progress. He involves you -- me, a 17-year-old -- in parts of the decision-making process as to certain assignments, directions, etc. if you show that you care and are mature. I did just that. And, as much as he could read me in a second upon confusion and adapt, he would frequently want to hear my input on the direction he felt best for a certain concept....Not because of doubt but because he knew treated me like a person, like an adult, and, in part, a collaborator. In the end, though, he really put all the pieces together in execution. His explanations -- clear and on-the-money. His helping me develop my own active reading approach that made sense but that was mine (one where I felt comfortable and where it worked with practice) was genius. If you work with him and don't think that magic happens over night, like some tutors (my former one) may tell you, the benefits of engaging fully for the necessary period of time with Dan at the helm...No one better. And, last, just a kinda cool dude." Read more
