Student & Parent Testimonials
“Amanda is awesome! I am a very visual learner and Amanda draws actual images for me to see the problem more clearly. One of her very helpful ideas was for me write out all the steps to each problem that we did. No matter how simple the step was, it was ALL written down! That helped me keep track of my work and come to the right answer in a clear way. Amanda is very patient and understanding with me when I got stuck on a question. Thanks Amanda!”

“We are so grateful for Aya’s help and encouragement over the past few months. Aya was able to connect with our daughter, Olivia, effortlessly, which made it easy for her to learn with confidence and score a 90 on his Living Environment, Biology Reagents exam! Aya is warm, motivating and a great role model to Ollie! Thanks Aya!”

“Randy was so helpful with my algorithms class! He broke down problems and concepts in ways I could understand, from understanding what a loop is, to linked lists, binary search trees, different types of sorting, and many other topics.
“Last year, I tutored Eric Y., a 9th grader struggling with Algebra. As we explored complex polynomials, linear relationships, and graphing quadratic functions, I encouraged Eric to think of each new topic as an extension of the previous lesson. Eric began to see Algebra as a structure of knowledge constantly being built from a foundation, which helped him finish the class with an A-!”
— Randy Ellis, Senior Science & Coding Instructor“In a draft of his personal statement, Leo wrote about his passion for food, but just scratched the surface of the impact it had on his life. We dug deep and produced a very moving account. By sharing his story, Leo got accepted to his top 5 schools.”

“Julia G. of Teddy’s Tutoring has been helping our 13 year old son remote-zoom prepare for the HSPT exam during COVID. She’s really connected with him, and made it fun. We can see the progress; and he’s confident going into the exam.”
— Jaison B., Dad“I worked with Teddy himself and from the beginning he was committed to meeting me at my level, and tailoring it to my needs in order to reach my goals. He is honest and thoughtful, and goes beyond what is expected. His authenticity breeds exceptional service.”

Our tutors love sharing their students’ breakthroughs:
“My 13 year old son has been working with Teddy since early April in twice weekly private sessions via Zoom. He went from an 85 to a 92 from the third to fourth quarter, but even better than that, his confidence is up and he feels more comfortable with math. Teddy has a way to tease out his inner mathematician and help him focus on lessons.”
— Ana Z., Mom“My daughter is a Junior in Bronx Science and Amy was her AP Physics tutor throughout the school year. Amy is extremely interactive, pleasant to work with, highly cognizant of the personality trait of her students and most importantly extremely knowledgeable of the topic and the best strategies to convey the knowledge.”
— Jayanta C., DadHe was also always patient and courteous when reviewing concepts or working through problems. Highly recommend!”— Esmeralda S., Python Programming Student“After struggling through second grade, I was nervous that Isabella would have a hard time keeping up in her third grade class. We started working with Catherine at the beginning of the year and the teachers saw obvious improvements in Isabella’s reading and writing skills! It warms my heart to see my daughter actually excited to go to school in the morning! Thank you Catherine!”
— Camilla S., Mom
“Before my sessions with Teddy, I was very nervous for my ISEE exam, especially the math section. I remember seeing so many math topics on my first diagnostic exam that I did not learn in school. I thought I would do poorly, but after a few sessions with Teddy, I learned helpful study skills to remember and practice the new concepts I saw on my exams. I was so happy to get an 8 on the Quantitative Reasoning and a 9 on the Math Achievement section! Thanks so much Teddy!”
— Cassidy P., ISEE Upper Level Student
“Amy was great at simplifying equations that initially seemed daunting. With equations/problems not so easily clarified, she remained determined to decipher, solve and explain in a way that I could understand. I had some satisfying ah-ha moments!”
— Saskia R., Physics Student
