Introduction

Finding the perfect tutor can be a true challenge. It can be a difficult spot to be in when you or your child requires expert assistance or just a small bit of help. You need to find someone who will go beyond just reading facts back to you and get the material to click. My entire philosophy behind my tutoring is built around that core premise. My SAT and ACT prep tutoring focuses on teaching students exactly what they need to know to minimize their test-taking anxiety and maximize score improvements. I have an average score increase of 200 points on the SAT and 5 points on the ACT as a result of my full-length courses with certain score guarantees as well. I offer pay-as-you-go tutoring models and advance payment programs with discounts that allow anyone to use my services and get the assistance they need. Every bit of work I do is personalized to each of my student's strengths and weaknesses. If you take the time to work with me and my programs, I promise you will have the edge in your future learning endeavors.

Over the past three years, we have selected Aaron to work with our son for his math tutoring and SAT prep. Since working with Aaron we have seen our son’s Algebra II, Trig and Calculus grades move and maintain A status. Aaron does an excellent job of working with the student through the problems and ensuring they understand the concepts and the potential pitfalls that might arise in performing the work. We also selected Aaron for our son’s PSAT and SAT prep. We saw dramatic improvement and outperform his peers in this area. His work and preparation with our son gave him a marked improvement vs the first time he took the test. More than 80 point improvement. This resulted in a Superscore over 1450 for his SAT. Aaron gives excellent recaps of the work with the student to the parents and his communication is timely and actionable. Of the tutors we have worked with, Aaron by far has been the very best.

Our experience with Aaron was exceptional. Aaron is highly knowledgeable, professional and respectful. His time with our daughter made a world of difference in her math comprehension and SAT results. Aaron is also very punctual and takes the time to prepare reviews of each and every session. Would highly recommend!

Aaron was just what we needed! My son was struggling through his college statistics class. From the first session, Aaron was able to determine my son's learning style and begin putting the class into a context he could better understand. After two meetings, my son felt more confident, and after three sessions, he began saying, "When I pass this class," instead of "If I pass this class." After each tutoring session was complete, we received a summary of what was covered and expectations for the next session. I highly recommend Aaron. I was skeptical of a tutor on Zoom, but I am so glad we gave him a chance.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My price point starts at a fair $69.99 per hour as the standard rate. From there, I offer different discounts or premium add-ons that will depend on the program/material that we are working on. I also base my price point on a pay-as-you-go model and offer discounts for hour bundles purchased in advance. I also have potential discounts for the day and times of certain meetings. Even though I need to make a living from my profession, I also want to help others gain an understanding of the material and grow as a person. I am willing to give certain allowances depending on the given situation.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first step in the process is always a direct call (or message to reach out and set up a call) to discuss the exact services I can provide and ensure that I will be a good fit for the needs of the student. The client's time and efforts are all valuable; I will ensure that I am a perfect fit for the job by hearing where the client is starting from and that I can expertly perform the needed work. Once we make sure the fit is good, we will schedule a first meeting that best works for them, and I will ensure that all the material is either received or delivered (depending on the program) before the first meeting. I believe in making sure every moment of the work I do is productive, so I like to have us running toward the goal right from the first meeting.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My formal educational background comes from a mix of a Psychology Major and a Counseling Master that also had many courses that examined teaching theory and techniques. I went to a college that was highly regarded as a top school for teachers, so I explored the material for a while before realizing that the standard institution of schools wasn't a good fit for me. It brought me to look at the profession of counseling as a way to help people learn how to navigate and find success in their day-to-day lives. That said, I found that I wanted a mix of a career that would let me be a bit more hands-on and directive with the concepts and process than what the counseling route would let me do. It eventually led me to find work within a tutoring company where I took a lot of the knowledge and abilities I developed from my past educational studies and polished it towards this outcome. However, it too was incredibly restrictive and limited the progress I could make with my clients to succeed. It brought me to start off on my own and use my abilities to the fullest to help so many succeed.
