    Mr. Schefter is one of the kindest and most fun teachers I’ve had the privilege to be taught by. He has always made me feel acknowledged and that what I had to say mattered.

    You could tell he had a mastery over what he taught, and you could tell he enjoyed it and was passionate! He was very empathetic and understanding as both a teacher and a person. He was always responsive to different people’s needs and situations. He was also incredibly inspiring as an educator! He’s the reason I chose the major I did (psychology) and got me interested in becoming an educator myself. His class was probably one of if not my favorite class experiences from high school.

    Mr Schefter is super committed to helping others! I needed last minute help writing my college application essay and he was able to match my schedule to help edit and create a final draft for my essay. Highly recommend!!

    Mr. Schefter is a teacher that teaches so much more than a curriculum. He’ll make you laugh while you learn and speaks to you (VS. at you) with compassion and care. There are few people in the world like him. My high school experience would have been very bland without him- he had a class everyone looked forward to attending. Plus, he always showed us photos of his animals which made everyone smile.
    Can’t forget that he quite literally saved a girls life via the Heimlich maneuver in my class when she choked!
    10000 / 10 man. Highly recommend.

    Mr. Schefter is by far the best tutor anybody could possibly have. Plain and simple. His experience in education and his ability to bring the best out of people make him the clear favorite.

    Frequently asked questions

    First, I want to get to know them as a person: interests, hobbies, family; what they're good at, and what they struggle with...

    I was privleged to work with all varieties of students and abilities over 27 years of teaching different social studies courses.

    I generally charge $35 an hour. If a student feels we are not a good match after the first hour, he/she will not be charged. 

    I had some incredible professors in college that inspired me. That was the kind of positive influence on young people that I wanted to emulate. Plus, I can't think of anything more important than helping students on their academic journey, and making it fun and rewarding as we go!
