I asked my son and I was surprised by how comfortable he was with Nick. So far so good I?m glad he is looking forward to continuing with multiple lessons. He said he is getting great tips and a different way at looking at the act.

Nick has helped me with my out-of-state and UC application essays, and he's one of the most knowledgeable, efficient, and kind tutors I've ever worked with. I can guarantee that anyone who takes a lesson with him won't regret it.

It was my first time meeting Nick and he took the time out to explain the aspects in full detail on what to expect of the SAT along with the ACT. He explained the dos and don't and how to strategically answer each question. I was very happy with my first session and I look forward to working with him again!

Working with Nick was amazing! He helped me understand the concept of the essay and provided clarity information that I was very confused on! He was very encouraging! Would recommend to any student needing help!

My son really connected with Nick saying, "He is the perfect tutor for me." So far, so good! Hoping to write a more substantive, glowing review after the test scores come in. In the interim, very pleased!

Nick has been working with my son on college application essays & he has done an excellent job of helping my son think outside the box in his writing and has really helped his writing skills. My son has had other tutors in the past, but none that he has been able to connect as well with as he has with Nick. He has gotten a lot done in a short amount of time too, so he works very efficiently. I highly recommend Nick!
- Julie M. from Clayton, CA
My daughter started with Nick a few weeks ago for SAT prep. He is guiding her with his expert knowledge and tips. They were up and running from the first lesson. He figured out her strengths and weaknesses quickly. He is friendly and encouraging. Highly recommend Nick.
