TESTIMONIALS

"Alissa is just amazing. She is by far the most dedicated, kindhearted, polite, easygoing, flexible, committed, intelligent, and helpful tutor/teacher I have ever come across in my 17+ years of schooling. Simply nobody compares—she will do all that she can to help you in whatever you need help with and not once will she ever not know the answer to something. You can ask truly her anything. For one, she would drop off SAT packets at my house on cold winter afternoons when she could have just left it up to me to do that myself. She also tremendously helped me with picking colleges to apply to (which included her making a huge spreadsheet for this) complete on her own free time. I would very often ask her questions at ungodly hours (like 12:30 a.m.) and she would respond with a full-blown explanation within an instant. We would also have fun and enlightening chats just about life, or anything else going on in between our time working during sessions. Lastly, she even offered me to work for her, and she also provided me with very helpful proctoring resources that she and her brother coordinate for SAT prep. As a tutor myself, she is what I completely aspire to be, but I know that I will never reach this level of intensity and commitment that she so naturally reaches. I am incredibly thankful to her for bringing up my SAT score from about an 1100 to a 1420, for all our fun chats, and for allowing me to become a better calculus student—all thanks to her! Every penny you spend will not go to waste I can assure you that :)"

—Logan, a seventeen-year-old student tutored in all sections of the SAT, and AP Calculus BC

"Alissa has been an absolute game-changer in my academic journey. Her guidance and expertise not only improved my math skills but also boosted my confidence for standardized tests. I'm incredibly grateful for her patience and dedication, which ultimately led to my success. Alissa has brought me all the way from high school, to now being in college, and still helping me with my math. Not only is she a wonderful tutor, she is also a fantastic mentor, as well as a friendly ear when you need someone to talk to about your academics. I truly can’t recommend her enough. She is the best!"

—Andrew, an eighteen-year-old student tutored in Geometry, Algebra II, Precalculus, ACT all sections, and College Math (Algebra, Analytic Geometry, & Trigonometry)

"Alissa is a very helpful human being. It is very difficult to come across someone as selfless as her. She will help you to her best ability. No matter the circumstance she is always there to help you or your loved one with whatever educational question you have. I have never ever met a more responsible and caring tutor in my entire life, hands down. In conclusion Alissa is the best tutor that you will ever come across!"

—Carl, a fourteen-year-old student tutored in Math, Social Studies, and English, grades seven and eight, Earth Science, and all ninth grade subjects

"Alissa is such a kind and caring individual. I say this because to put up with me is no small task, in fact it's a huge ordeal. She is super patient too which is another awesome trait that she carries as a full time tutor. I'm super glad to have continued using her help throughout the years because if it wasn't for Alissa my knowledge wouldn't have expanded as much as it did and I wouldn't be as confident in my school work too. In my very biased opinion I feel Alissa is the utmost supportive tutor and friend I have ever met. Thanks for all of your support and help always!"

—Carl, the same student as above, now eighteen years old, who (since his last review) was tutored in all tenth and eleventh grade subjects, and College English

"Alissa was the best ACT and Algebra II tutor I ever had! She's so patient with her students and teaches you so many tricks to learn the material! My grades were the best they've ever been when I worked with her. She's so kind and never makes you feel bad for not understanding something. I was truly the luckiest to have worked with her and would recommend her to anyone in need!"

—Stella, an eighteen-year-old student and recent high school graduate tutored in Algebra II and all sections of the ACT

"I've been working with Alissa for 6 years now and I can earnestly say that she is amazing at what she does. I don't think I would be the strong math student I am today if it wasn't for her help and guidance these past years. I was able to earn top grades in my honors and AP math classes, in addition to 99th percentile scores on the SAT and ACT. On my SAT, I had a perfect score (800) on the math section, and I attribute that to my work with Alissa. The grades and scores speak for themselves, but what makes Alissa so great is her supportive nature and positive attitude. She would always thoroughly and effectively explain topics and problems I didn't understand. We would go over questions I got wrong or was unsure about to make sure I was confident with the material. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend working with Alissa, and I will miss working with her very much."

—Rachel, an eighteen-year-old student and recent high school graduate tutored in Pre-algebra Honors, Algebra Honors, Geometry Honors, Algebra II Honors, Precalculus Honors, AP Calculus AB, AP Statistics, PSAT all sections, SAT all sections, ACT all sections, and the SAT Math Level II Subject Test

"Alissa was able to adapt to the way I learn complex concepts the best. She was good at seeing which skills I could improve and was always happy to answer all my questions. Her kindness and encouragement are some of the qualities I valued the most in her as a teacher."

—Christine, a nineteen-year-old student formerly tutored in AP Calculus BC and the SAT Math Level II Subject Test

"Alissa is great!! She helped me go up by nearly 200 points from my PSAT to my SAT. I also learned a lot of techniques that helped me succeed in both the math section and the English section where I mostly struggled with. I would strongly recommend her for any form of tutoring. She is very knowedgeable and personable. She goes beyond tutoring you; she is always there if you ever need to text her a question or just check in."

—Noah, a seventeen-year-old student tutored in all sections of the SAT

"Overall, I could honestly say that I have seen immense progress in my ability as a math student under the tutelage of Alissa. When I first started with her two years ago I was prepping for Geometry and I remember how she not only thoroughly explained all the concepts to me but also helped me implement techniques that would help me solve problems in a variety of ways so that I was never stuck on a problem. Through working with her I saw a major improvement in regards to my test scores as well as my performance in future math classes. Thus I highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking greater academic success."

—Shrey, a fifteen-year-old student tutored in Geometry Honors, Algebra II Honors, Precalculus Honors, and SAT Math

"Alissa is a highly competent and caring teacher/tutor. She is extremely patient and provided our son with attentive assistance while nurturing his sense of confidence and self reliance. You will be fortunate if she is able to fit your child into her schedule - she is a skillful professional!"

—Harry, parent of a student tutored in all seventh, eighth, and ninth grade subjects
