“Evan worked with my child to prepare for the ISEE test, and he went above and beyond to arm my child with the tools and confidence to ACE the test! His initial diagnosis of the areas for my child to work on was spot-on, and he created a customized learning plan to tackle unclear and new concepts and reinforce areas of strength. His no-nonsense, get-to-the-point style worked well with my son. I cannot recommend him enough and will be working with him again in the future!”
— Anne, 27 lessons with Evan
“Evan has been helping our son for a year, both with schoolwork & lookin ahead to SAT prep. Our son tells us that his explanations are clear & he always feels more confident after his sessions!”
— Susan, 54 lessons with Evan
“Evan was an outstanding tutor for our daughter as she prepared for the SSAT. With only about five weeks to prepare, he played a pivotal role in helping her achieve meaningful, measurable improvement across the math, reading, and verbal sections in a very compressed timeline. Evan was highly effective at identifying priority areas for improvement and tailoring his approach to our daughter’s specific needs. He was consistently patient, responsive, and encouraging throughout the process. We plan to work with Evan again if our daughter needs help with her SAT preparation!”
— Jackie, 15 lessons with Evan

— Mecca , 14 lessons with Evan

“My son Henry has been working with Evan for a couple weeks, and we are all really impressed with Evan's tailored and knowledgeable approach. He is great at assessing where a student is at and giving them exactly the right guidance and materials for them to build understanding and confidence. We are really looking forward to continuing with Evan!”
— Kevin, 20 lessons with Evan
“My daughter has been working with Evan twice a week for several months in preparation for the SSAT. He has been an excellent tutor: knowledgable, flexible, kind. He has multiple methods to teach a concept so he is able to explain ideas to help her easily understand. He is continuously modifying his teaching curriculum based on her progress, loading more where she is progressing quickly and revisiting concepts in which she needs more work. He is in high demand but has been so accommodating of our schedule (and her many extracurricular activities). Her scores and confidence have improved tremendously. We are so grateful to Evan.”
— J, 22 lessons with Evan
“Evan tutored my daughter over the course of 2 weeks to prepare for the ISEE Upper exam. Over that time Evan helped her address specific areas she was having trouble with and also provided overall guidance and strategies for how to approach the test. She enjoyed the lessons and was able to improve her scores markedly in a short period of time. Evan did a great job and is an excellent tutor.”
— Louis, 10 lessons with Evan

— Tia, 8 lessons with Evan
“Evan was a fantastic tutor for my 5th-grade nephew as he prepared for taking the ISEE exam a second time. Evan's personalized approach and clear teaching style helped my nephew make remarkable improvements. He improved in most of the sections by 1 or 2 stanines, but his math achievement score jumped an incredible 4 stanines, from a 5 to a perfect 9. Beyond the numbers, Evan truly connected with my nephew. My nephew looked forward to their sessions and felt much more confident going into the test this time around. Evan’s patience, encouragement, and expertise made all the difference. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and engaging tutor.”
— Ashley, 5 lessons with Evan
“Evan is fantastic! He tutored my 13 y/o son for the ISEE Upper Level. He was extremely thorough, always responds to your messages immediately, and he was very flexible with our scheduling. He had a plethora of test prep materials that were extremely helpful. My (ADHD) son actually ENJOYED every minute with Evan and says he's the BEST tutor he's ever had!”
— DARLA, 3 lessons with Evan
“After helping my kid on the middle ISEE preparation for 2 months on my own, I decided to seek a tutor to lessen my burden. I am happy to find Evan. He is patient and resourceful. My kid likes working with him on the ISEE questions during the class, and was inspired to do more practice after the class. Besides, Evan identified and help my kid's weakness on reading session. Overall, I am happy and satisfied with our first tutoring experience.”

“Evan tutored my boys as they prepared for the ISEE. He quickly assessed their areas of strength and weakness and gave them tangible strategies and problem solving skills to work on. He was thoughtful and patient, but also kept a good pace. He worked through the problems and gave them nice summaries / next steps to use after the lesson. From these, they practiced the weak areas. Evan was instrumental in lifting my son's score 2 stanines after 3 sessions.”

Evan's expertise and personalized approach not only built PJ's confidence but also equipped him with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in the challenging exam. Thanks to Evan's unwavering commitment and effective teaching methods, PJ not only felt thoroughly prepared but also performed exceptionally well on the iSEE test. I am immensely grateful for Evan's invaluable contribution to PJ's academic journey.”
— Melissa, 6 lessons with Evan
“Evan worked with my daughter every week for several months to help her prepare for the SHSAT. She was having some difficulty with certain sections (longer reading passages, geometry), which Evan was able to identify and work with her more closely on. He broke down practice tests into manageable sections, to allow her to carefully focus on the areas she needed more help with, while continuing to strengthen the areas she performed ok in, until she was doing 1/2 practice tests, and ultimately full practice tests. He helped her improve her practice scores from below the cut off for acceptance into any of the specialized schools, to above the cut off for Stuyvesant. Thanks to Evan, she took the test and felt confident with how she performed. Now, we just wait until March to get the results.”
— Jen, 14 lessons with Evan

“Evan has supported both of my children in preparing for the middle and upper ISEE over the years. We go back to him because he's thorough, prepared and helps them grasp the nuances of the material as well as the important "how-tos" of test-taking in general. Thanks, Evan!”
— Melissa, 91 lessons with Evan
“Evan quickly assessed the areas of focus that would most increase my daughter’s ISEE scores and focused on these with her. He assigned relevant homework, ran drills, and maintained an encouraging stance that kept my daughter engaged and optimistic. He definitely knows the test, and is able to teach strategies not available in online courses or book studies. I highly recommend him.”
— Elizabeth, 21 lessons with Evan

— Barbara, 41 lessons with Evan
“We engaged Evan to tutor our son for the HSPT high school entrance exam. In prior practice tests, my son already scored in the 98-99 range for Math and Quantitative sections. However, his Reading/Language Use sections were in the mid-80's range. Evan worked with my son over the course of a few months on those sections and overall test taking strategies, and my son final scores for all sections were all in mid-90's to 99 percentile range, with a final Composite score of 99/Standard Score of 718. My son simultaneously had taken a 2-month HSPT prep course at a local high school, and said that course was basically useless due to (1) the size of the class, and (2) wasted time on sections that he already knew/scored well. I highly recommend the more focused and skilled private tutoring offered by Evan. Thank you so much, Evan!”
— Grace, 14 lessons with Evan
“Evan helped my 8th grade daughter prepare for the ISEE over a few months after we realized there were some gaps in her math knowledge. He was prepared and knowledgeable and I appreciate that he did not overload my daughter with an enormous amount of work upfront but slowly built her up over time so by the time of the test she knew what to expect and felt confident and did very well! We also appreciated his calm demeanor, and relaxed but thorough approach. I think his math tutoring helped her in her current grade as well. Highly recommend!”
— Lisa , 15 lessons with Evan

Evan was the only tutor who responded without equivocating, obviously because he's confident in his skills and knows what he's doing. My son got a lot out of the sessions and I feel confident in his test taking ability after just the 2 sessions. He also provided my son with outside helpful material. I really appreciate his positive attitude and great skills in working with my middle schooler.”

— Melissa , 30 lessons with Evan
“I want to start by saying this was the third SAT tutor we tried in a short time period to prep my daughter. The first my daughter felt moved too slow, and she recognized wouldn’t be of help after first session. Evan had 4 weeks to prep my daughter for SAT. She started out with a 1240. By her last practice test, she scored 1400. When it was time for the actual test, she said she found his tutoring so helpful. She mentioned there was a math problem she found difficult on actual test, she went back to it and remembered Evan did the exact type of problem with her and she remembered his words while solving it. She came out of SAT saying it was the easiest math section she ever had including all practices. She also mentioned when doing reading passages, he taught her a way to break down the passage and answer questions that was extremely helpful for the test. She feels he did an amazing job prepping her. She likes working with him and finds the sessions very helpful. Evan assigned homework which I felt took the pressure off of me to make sure she is preparing. He also set up quizzes based on what she needed guidance with. We highly recommend Evan.”

We will be scheduling with Evan long term to prepare further for SAT and ACT.”

— Julie, 3 lessons with Evan
“Evan was professional, on time and personable. He asked good questions and really tried to find any way he could assist my son, who was resistant. It didn't work out for us but that's on our end; Evan was great.”

“Evan was very knowledgeable about the ISEE test and was able to outline a plan for mastering the test after he met with my 8th-grade son for the first visit. I was very impressed with him. He helped my son stay focused, even though the visits were more than an hour (at my request), and my son described him as a combination of funny but serious. In the end, my son did very well on the test! Which is a huge testament to Evan's skills and talent as a tutor. GREAT find.”

“Evan worked really hard to get my daughter ready for the ISEE. We didn't have a whole lot of time, and he was able to cram in a lot of information in. He was accommodating and flexible with his schedule. He was patient and encouraging.”

“Evan helped my daughter study for the Upper ISEE. She felt so confident taking the test because of him. He taught her strategies on taking the test, what things to look for, and how to find the best answer if you are unsure of the correct answer, He went over all the math and helped teach her math she had not yet encountered, he went over vocabulary, critical thinking and reading comprehension. He always arrived on time or early. He made learning fun. She really enjoyed having him as her tutor! We would definitely recommend Evan and use him again in the future!”

“This is our Second school year with Evan W, who has been working with my 10th grader , who is highly gifted with ADHD. Evan has been FANTASTIC! He is patient, explains the lessons in a way that my son can understand them, and has helped him feel greatly at ease, with a subject that he normally has quite a bit of anxiety over - math (algebra, geometry)! Evan is extremely reliable, great communicator, and a very hard worker. I highly recommend him and we are looking forward to working with him again in the near future.”

“My mom feels more comfortable using her computer since having her sessions with Evan. She felt he was very patient and identified many of the issues that were preventing her from using her computer, and especially email, successfully.”
— Kristin, 4 lessons with Evan
“Evan did an excellent job quickly establishing rapport with our 10 year old son and explaining to him what he could expect on the ISEE. He walked him through all sections, did a great job working on strategies, and was an overall excellent tutor. We look forward to working with him further.”

“My son needed help in Geometry. He loves football and to stay with the team he had to pass his test. We needed a tutor and needed it now. I hired a tutor and I am sure she was good but it was not the right match for my son. She made it sound like there was no hope for my son and to turn him around it was going to take a long long time. My son refused to work with her and said he did not care for another tutor. After going back and forth with my son I convinced him to give another tutor a shot and if it did not work then we will come up with another plan. I saw Evan and read his reviews and thought he may be a good match. He looked like he could be the older brother to my son and put him on the right path. He came in and right away spoke to my son about football. Right there I saw my son’s interest rising and was ready to listen what Evan had to say. He went right into the subject and started working with him. He also knew how to work with my son to make Geometry not look like a task. He did not waste any time and never gave us any negative feedback. My son looks forward to his tutoring sessions and he passed his test.”

“Evan is awesome! Very patient and laid back. I am not a quick learner when it comes to math and Evan always takes his time explaining things and has no problem going over the same problem as man times he needs to, to make sure I understand the material. My skills have definitely improved in the short time we've been working together.”
— Ella, 79 lessons with Evan
“My son had 3 weeks to fully prepare for the ISEE exam. Evan came in and THOROUGHLY prepared him. He was able to quickly assess my son's strengths and weaknesses and, with humor and focus, got him fully up to speed in vocab, comprehension, algebra, and essay writing. Evan is fantastic. And my son actually looked forward to their sessions!”
