So far I?ve worked with Steve for about 4-5 sessions and he?s been an incredible help on such short notice. He?s very knowledgeable about the college admissions process and writing skills. I will definitely continue to work with Steve again in the future.

Stephen is so efficient with his review. And he really cares about his students. Goes above and beyond and is more than willing to help us through the college app process - answering whatever questions we may have as well as providing advice.

Good pointers and corrections were shared by him during this first session. Working on further additions to the content. Planning to schedule another session soon. Thank you.

We have only met with Stephen once so far, but in that lesson he imparted so much wisdom and helped my son get a clearer picture as to how he can complete the daunting college application process. We had been paralyzed by the scope of the process but Stephen put it in perspective and helped my son prioritize tasks and plan how to get it done in rather short order. I only wish we had found him sooner- we could have been spared some angst!
- Logan Z. from Saddle River, NJ
Stephen helped a friend of mine and he was very professional. He went far beyond the actual lesson and followed up to make sure the essay was on track. Highly recommended

Stephen has been instrumental in helping our daughter find the right focus for her college application essays. As an added bonus, he has built her confidence and he has helped parents with financial application tips.

Steven is an excellent teacher. He is patient, tactful, and creative in his approach to both, a student, and a parent. Steven helped our son with college essays - main essay for college app, as well as supplementary questions for each school. It was a collaboration effort between Steve and our son, where every line and every word was carefully scrutinized, main ideas and thesis closely examined, but at the same time my son never felt pressured into writing something he did not agree with, which was very important. Steve was very flexible in terms of schedule, and responded very quickly to emails. We were very happy with our tutor choice and will recommend Steve to anyone for his work ethics, skills, and attitude. Thank you, Steve!
