Luke Davenport, Crossroads School Alum and Colgate University Student

"Working with Nick, Oran and Alex has made a huge difference in my academic learning. Their depth of knowledge and ability to help me through all the topics covered in Calculus 2, College Linear Algebra, and Microeconomics has allowed for a deeper understanding — especially during the pandemic! Each of the tutors have plenty of knowledge that no matter what the question or topic was they were ready to help me learn it. They were also each able to tailor their teaching styles to what would help me learn and understand the material best. They were all very friendly and I never felt like I was being lectured but rather working through the problems in my head with them filling in the blanks.”

Emilie Corlin, Santa Monica High School Students

“Kate and Nick were excellent tutors. Nick helped me get through the toughest year of math. He made sure I fully understood the topic and even gave me short quizzes to ensure I understood the material. Kate is also a wonderful tutor. She helped me get A’s in a language I have never learned before. Overall both Kate and Nick are extraordinary tutors and have helped me above and beyond in my academic journey.”
