My daughter asked to have a tutor to help her study for the SAT. She found Oliver to be extremely helpful in focusing on her skills/ needs on what and how to study for the SAT. He challenged and advised her and highly recommend Oliver.

Great tutor for the GRE, understood the test format well and provided logical explanations if the material covered on the test. I worked with Oliver for only a few weeks and got a 168 Quant score.

Oliver helped my junior son review and get caught up on his Algebra work. He was very thorough and explained polynomial functions clearly. I highly recommend him and will call him in the future.

We hired Oliver to work with our 11 year old son to prep for the ISEE. We only had about a month to prep and Oliver spent 5 sessions focused on math and reading. Our son's scores improved in all 4 areas of the ISEE! We were really pleased with the results and our son enjoyed working with Oliver. We'll definitely keep Oliver's information for any future tutoring needs and highly recommend him.

Oliver is an extremely charismatic and amicable tutor, with a plethora of knowledge that stems from an impressive background in academia and standardized testing. I came to him seeking help on an upcoming LSAT, and he was very flexible, kind, and friendly every step of the way. I would definitely recommend his assistance on work with standardized testing in the future, as he is fully equipped to give his pupils the keys to success and provide reassurance in the form of useful advice.

My son has been struggling in honors chemistry. Oliver has helped him immensely in just a few visits. He’s gone from scoring 60-70 on tests to getting 90% and higher. My son says “he explains things better than my teacher”. What’s more - although he was initially resistant to needing a tutor - my son looks forward to the sessions and readily agreed to keep going through the end of year. I couldn’t be happier that Oliver has helped chemistry “click” for my son!

Oliver is excellent! He tutors my daughter in high school Chemistry. He is professional, punctual, flexible, and explains the material in a way she understands. We particularly appreciate how he can “jump in” to the material with no preparation (unusual compared to other tutors we’ve known). He is even willing to pivot and help her with Math if needed. Highly recommend.

He's been super responsive to me and my schedule!

Sarah M.Sep 2017

Oliver was wonderful, did some review with my son over the summer to catch up with his algebra...he is very bright, punctual, easy going, and my son thought he was very cool and relatable..thanks oliver!

I will hire Oliver again in a minute and plan to as long as he tutors. He made the difference between my grandson failing 8th grade math and making it to 9th grade. Who could ask for more? Quality = 100%!

Merav H.May 2017

We hired him both for SAT and Calculus and he was just ok. A bit forgetful, twice either forgot our meeting or came an hour early. As for the knowledge, maybe he will k how to solve some of the problems but not all and in relatively long time. My daughter told me that several times she pointed to him that he is wrong and he relplyed "oh yes, I guess you're right". We were assuming that since he is a tutor, she will learn more and excersize more.

This is it. This is the tutor you want to hire. Oliver is a total professional, friendly, accessible, punctual and relatable. He is down to earth and knows what he is doing. My son's score jumped by more than 130 points and he says Oliver taught him a way to look at the test problems from a different perspective that often made solving them an intuitive process. HIRE HIM.

Oliver tutored my daughter for the SATs this fall. His credentials are great, but we liked him immediately because of his calm demeanor and measured approach. I knew my daughter would respond well and be comfortable with him. She was very confident going into the test.

Thumbtack customerSep 2016

Oliver is very knowledgeable and helped my daughter with SAT preparation!! Oliver's price was better then the large group prices and tailored it to her needs!! I would highly recommend Oliver to others!!

Thumbtack customerJun 2016

Oliver was a great help to my daughter reviewing the math section for the ACT and SAT's. Her SAT score increased by 130 points! We were are so pleased, that I have already asked Oliver to tutor my younger daughter with pre-calc and SAT prep in the Fall....Thanks Oliver!!!
