Evan was positive, provided helpful tips and passed no judgment. He was a great energetic tutor that my daughter really enjoyed working with. We will definitely continue working with Evan.

My son improved a lot with Evan, he planned it very smartly how to make him achieve better results in a short time. And my son likes him too and enjoy his lesson.

My daughter, who lacks confidence after losing so much ground during CoVID, came out beaming from her lessons with Evan. He was patient and encouraging. And her skills are rapidly improving under his guidance!

Evan had less than 10 days to get our daughter ready to take the SAT for the second time. Her score increased by 170 after only 5 sessions. He also helped her sharpen her test taking techniques and worked patiently with her to increase her speed in problem solving. Our daughter has since been offered 3 scholarships. Thanks 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!

Erika – Woodland Hills, CA

Determined which areas needed the most attention and taught those lessons in a very understandable way. Also was very helpful providing strategies to master the test.

Evan has been working with my 11 year old in preparation of taking the middle level ISEE exam. He is very caring and patient, always prompt and flexible. My son enjoys working with him and looks forward to their sessions. I highly recommend Evan. We are lucky to be working with him.

Carole – Pasadena, CA

ACT science section prep, Evan is very thorough and patient, and he has useful insights into testing methodologies. I would recommend him based on our experience.

Evan helped my sons with the ISEE. He was available, responsive and helpful in getting him ready for his test.

He is a wonderful tutor! Answers all my son questions and makes sure he completely understands. I would Definitely recommend.

Evan is a fantastic tutor and very patient with kids. He made the lesson fun, kept a good pace, and covered all the material. It was a great lesson. Thank you, Evan!

The minute Evan arrives, he immediately engages my son and gets him to focus on the task at hand. I am already starting to see better confidence with my son in approaching these exams. We will always be thankful to 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.

Gary – Santa Monica, CA

Evan has been helping me with my ACT studying for a while now and he is so great! He has not only helped my score go up by teaching me the concepts, but he also has helped me learn studying techniques and how to understand the test! 100% recommend!

Vicky – Calabasas, CA

My daughter has struggled with math throughout high school. We hired Evan to help prepare her for the SAT and improve her math score. He is an excellent tutor, combining intense instruction with patience and humor. Evan helped my daughter improve her math skills and gain self-confidence. I highly recommend him!

Stacy – Stevenson Ranch, CA

I highly recommend Evan. My son failed the cbest writing section of the cbest with a score of 29. After 5 lessons with Evan he past it with a score of 42

My daughter said he’s extremely knowledgeable and loved how he broke down each topic. After his tutor session with her she was able to break down the practice questions on her own. I will use him again.

My daughter worked with Evan W. for the SAT. She is not very confident in Math and did not score as high as she would have liked on her 1st SAT. Evan W worked with her over a few months, and we saw her math score improve by 100 points. She felt more confident and scored within the 95 percentile. We are delighted with her progress, and Evan W is a great math tutor.

Evan was professional and very knowledgeable. He tutored my 11th grader in SAT math, and really knew his stuff. We will be hiring him again. I would recommend him highly.

My son has enjoyed working with Evan and now feels much more confident about his upcoming HSPT. Evan has worked on each area of the test and explains how to answer the questions.

Patient tutor went through the list of ISEE questions on reading and math and reviewed in detail writing skills, organizing thoughts and having a beginning middle and end to the story.

Evan is very knowledgeable about the ISEE and he made the first session really fun for my kids! Stress-free first session. We look forward to working with him!

My son had a very productive and constructive first lesson with Evan last Sunday. Evan went over pretty much every topic on ISEE, explained things in ways easy to grasp, recommended online sources and test prep materials. Everything went very efficiently. Not only Evan dud show professionalism and knowledge, but also is a very respectful and considerate person. He notified us for running later in advance twice before the lesson.

Evan was a super tutor who made understanding tricky SAT Math problems easy. My daughter recently took the SAT after being tutored by Evan and made a huge improvement on the Math section compared to the previous test. Evan deserves a lot of credit for making this improvement happen. Thank you, Evan.

My son loves the first class. He said it’s the first time for the ISEE class he didn’t even realize 1 hour passed so quickly until he saw the time.

Knowledgeable, professional, and able to adapt to my son so that he could stay focused and productive for nearly 2 hours. Remarkable given that my son is 10 years old. Evan’s affect is relaxed and winsome but he has clear and structured lessons goals for each lesson.

Patricia – Manhattan Beach, CA 

Evan tutored our 17 year old triplets for the SAT exam. He helped to increase their math scores significantly. Although we had a scheduled time, he was flexible and stayed longer if necessary. The kids enjoyed working with him, and he was very patient and accommodating. Thanks Evan for all of your help!

Holly – Valencia, CA

Evan helped our son gain confidence in ISEE … His scores improved dramatically. I suspect that this will translate into improved performance in all standardized tests going forward. His calm demeanor was very important. Thank you Evan!

It’s our first lesson with Evan on SAT prep. Didn’t know what to expect. But Evan’s efficiency and clarity in teaching and coaching were way above our expectations. Thank you.

My niece had an absolutely fantastic first session with Evan. As a soon to be second time SAT exam taker he took time to learn what her strengths and needs were and then focus on her individual prep needs . After reading his credentials and other parent reviews I had a feeling he was going to be an excellent tutor and he is!

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.

Evan tutored my daughter for the ISEE upper level test (ELA part). Before the tutoring, my daughter tested and got 6 on both Verbal Reasoning (VR) and Reading Comprehension (RC). She had lessons with Evan once a week for two months. She scored 8 on both VR and RC on her second test. Evan is very patient and he explains clearly. He created a customized study plan based on my daughter’s weakness. He also shared some good learning and testing approaches. I highly recommend Evan!

Evan was brought in to help prepare our son for the ACT. Evan has the background and knowledge in this area which was evident when he started to work with our son. He is very easy going, and easy to converse with which made it better for our son. Afterwards, our son expressed positive comments that Evan was patient and had great insight into the areas needing to be addressed. We highly recommend Evan for future parents contemplating whether or not the higher fees are worth it compared to lesser hourly charging tutors. Thank you Evan!

Amanda – Valencia, CA

Evan has been tutoring my daughter for the SAT for a number of weeks now and things have been going very well. He is very responsive to emails and phone calls, he is easy to reach. He is always on time and willing to remind me about scheduling appointments each week which I really appreciate. My daughter reports that she is learning a lot in her sessions. Evan is very positive. When I overhear the sessions I can hear that he often provides positive reinforcement for attempts and he is able to put a positive spin on incorrect answers as well. His approach seems to be highly motivating for my daughter. I am sure this is a great approach for any person he tutors. I highly recommend Evan to anyone who needs tutoring.

Cara – Granada Hills, CA

Very patient and knowledgeable. From recommending a practice book to tutoring, Evan helped a lot on the math and vocabulary sections of the test. Took the time to explain answers until understood. Thanks to Evan, my son thought the test was easy.

I was seeking a tutor on a very short notice to help prepare my 11th grader for upcoming PSAT. I reviewed and emailed a variety of tutors but Evan was the only who responded in a very timely manner. His willingness to come to our location and adjust his schedule to accommodate our needs was extremely helpful. My son benefited so much from the 1 on 1 session with Evan. He went into the PSAT testing with extremely high confidence and feels that he had a greater command of the material than if we attend the Kaplan courses. We will be scheduling with Evan long term to prepare further for SAT and ACT.

Evan worked for many hours with my 8th grade daughter to help prepare her for the Upper Level ISEE. My daughter learned a great deal from Evan, and she appreciated his funny and low key way of teaching. He taught her many test taking skills, and used examples that she said she was able to put to use on the exam. The materials he worked with and recommended were up to date and very helpful. He was always reliable and made a big effort to schedule as many lessons as we felt she needed before the test. We highly recommend Evan for standardized test prep!

Amy – Encino, CA

Evan has been tutoring my son for the ACT. Really gave him great insight to the test and boosted his confidence.

Julie – El Segundo, CA

My daughter is studying for the ISEE exam and in only two sessions with Evan, she already is making huge strides in math. Being an entering 8th grader, she has not had geometry or trig yet and he is doing an amazing job teaching her these concepts. We are so happy we found him!

Evan helped our son with his ISEE and was absolutely great. He was patient and thorough in his teaching and our son was confident by the time they came round.

Evan provided weekly ISEE tutoring for my son in preparation for his 6th grade entrance exam. Evan is not only familiar with the exam, he is knowledgeable about supporting resources and used a variety of tools to prepare my son. Evan worked through example problems and tests to improve his capability and shared important test-taking strategies. My son improved across every vector of the exam as a result, including achieving 95th percentile in the Mathematics Achievements section of the test. I highly recommend Evan for his expertise, reliability and thoughtfulness as an ISEE tutor.

Evan has been tutoring my daughter for the ISEE. We were delayed in starting but Evan has been exceptional at assuring she’s on target & able to learn & practice what is needed. I’ve been incredibly appreciative of his willingness to oversee her work even with the December/January holidays. Evan’s an excellent tutor, very knowledgeable and patient & has been a pleasure to work with.

We’ve used him twice now for two kids and he seems to keep them Engaged and working hard. They are working on essays this week which is something I don’t want to do, so grateful for his services! So far so good

I contacted Evan to help my son prepare for the Catholic High School Placement Test. Evan was easy to contact, prompt for lessons and extremely professional. My son really enjoyed working with Evan and was motivated to prepare for his tutoring sessions. Evan helped him work through practice tests and helped him improve his areas of weakness. When it came time for the real thing, my son was very prepared and did extremely well on the tests. He was accepted to all the schools to which he applied and was granted scholarship money based on his test scores. I have recommended Evan to friends who have children who have to take the HSPT and will definitely have Evan come and work with my younger son. Highest praise for Evan!

He knows his subject and is able to handle all topics not only the ACT. He is very professional on this first visit.

David – Beverly Hills, CA

Evan was very helpful and knowledgeable. He helped to give a better understanding to the areas in Math that would be on the SAT’s. Would definitely recommend him.

Evan went over tips to approach both sections of the exam when in doubt. We also did sample reading and math problems to practice. The time went quickly and was very worthwhile.

My son enjoyed learning from Evan and through it was very helpful. He broke it down in an easy to understand format and gave follow up assignments for the next session.

Evan has been working with my daughter on her ISEE prep. While test day has not yet arrived, we have already seen great results reflected in her MAP testing. Definitely planning to ire Evan for my second child next year!

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.

Chris – Los Angeles, CA

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.

Beryt – Culver City, CA

We were hard pressed to find a tutor for the ISEE who knew the types of questions and knew the best test taking strategies. He’s engaging in his approach and customizes it based upon the need of the student. Highly recommend him for ISEE upper level prep.

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!

Roni – Encino, CA

Evan really saved the day for me. I was very nervous to have to retake my Cbest Math test. Apparently I had learned my elementary math incorrectly and have been dependent upon a calculator. I had really bad experiences in math and developed a mental block. I has failed my first Cbest math and felt so lost due to all of my misteachings. In a short amount of time Evan retaught me everything from the beginning. I needed a 41 to pass and I scored a 61!!! I couldn’t believe it. I have never felt confident in math and Evan was so patient with me, he really built my confidence and simplified everything for me. I was under a tremendous amount of pressure as passing this test was the only way to continue my graduate program. Not only was I able to be calm for the test, I even finished my test an hour early and felt 100% confident about it. I am very grateful and I highly recommend Evan as a tutor.

Brittany – Burbank, CA

Evan is a great tutor. Besides helping your child learn the material, he has a very amazing way of communicating with them making the learning environment stress free. I highly recommend him.

Jeanne – Granada Hills, CA 

Evan was very helpful with a range of academic needs from math to grammar. My daughter understood his explanations easily. He seemed patient and conscientious. Thank you!

On time. Knew his stuff. My son really liked him a lot and he now understands all the material. I would definitely recommend him – especially for Algebra 2 for high school.

Scot –  Pacific Palisades, CA 

Evan is great. He reviewed with my daughter for a social studies test. He is very patient and has a great sense of humor.

Ann – Century City, CA

My daughter was reluctant to have a tutor at first because she was afraid of being thought of as not so bright. Evan made her comfortable now she is looking forward to the next lesson

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.

Scarlett – Simi Valley, CA

Evan is such a professional and he hits it off well with our son – both with the coaching aspect and with the teaching skills. Thanks Evan, you’re great.

Martin – West Hollywood, CA

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… Evan was great!

Emily – Los Angeles, CA

Evan was very helpful teaching my 9th grade honors student techniques for managing study time, organizing workflow, and memorization – very helpful and productive tutoring session, I recommend him highly for this type of lesson.

Dr. Richard – Granada Hills, CA

Very patient and knowledgeable. From recommending a practice book to tutoring, Evan helped a lot on the math and vocabulary sections of the test. Took the time to explain answers until understood. Thanks to Evan, my son thought the test was easy.

Evan was invaluable in helping my daughter with her college algebra class. In the beginning of the semester she was barely passing, but with Evan’s experience, patience and flexible schedule my daughter ended the semester with a B! I also recommend him as a parent of a student with special needs. My daughter has a speech disability and he was able to make all the material very understandable to her. Evan is the way to go!

Evan was able to hit the ground running with my 8th grade son. They connected right away and communicated well with each other. It was clear that Evan had a good command of the topics at hand.

Evan is very capable and a very good teacher. Heads up! He is so gentle and quiet that it is easy to underestimate him. I will definitely continue to ask for him.

Gail – Studio City, CA

The minute Evan arrives, he immediately engages my son and gets him to focus on the task at hand. I am already starting to see better confidence with my son in approaching these exams. We will always be thankful to Evan.

Evan was very helpful and knowledgeable. He helped to give a better understanding to the areas in Math that would be on the SAT’s. Would definitely recommend him.

Great tutor! He knows what he’s teaching and made it easy for me to learn. I look forward to my next lesson.

Arlene – North Hills, CA

Determined which areas needed the most attention and taught those lessons in a very understandable way. Also was very helpful providing strategies to master the test.

Evan has had several tutoring sessions with my daughter. He has accommodated her schedule and has been very patient with her. He always arrived on time and got started to work immediately. He has overcome her lack of interest and brought her greater understanding in general of the math and essay questions. We will use him again when her schedule is open for more tutoring. She and I are both very happy with him!

Toni – Sunland, CA

Evan came here for the first time yesterday and got right to work helping my daughter understand everything she got wrong on her Algebra I assessment test (which was a lot). He worked on every concept with her until she felt she understood. He is an engaged and engaging tutor and she is eager to work with him again, because he really was able to help her understand and work the problems! Pretty miraculous really, and we are very appreciative.

Lisa – La Canada, CA

Evan was fantastic in helping our daughter with her honors algebra. Our daughter was about four weeks behind and Evan did a great job of catching her up and keeping her up to date with the new sections. He was proficient in a wide range of complicated mathematical problems including Algebra and Geometry. Evan was also very patient and got our daughter’s grades up 40 percentage points!

Steve & Lisa – Chatsworth, CA

Evan is such an amazing teacher. After our second session I had more confidence in my math skills. He’s very understanding and finds different ways to show you how to work a problem.

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 – Burbank, CA

My daughter worked with Evan W. for the SAT. She is not very confident in Math and did not score as high as she would have liked on her 1st SAT. Evan W worked with her over a few months, and we saw her math score improve by 100 points. She felt more confident and scored within the 95 percentile. We are delighted with her progress, and Evan W is a great math tutor.

We were looking for a tutor for our son in math over the summer. He had fallen behind in 6th grade math and was tasked with finishing a monster packet in order to ensure that he could go directly into 7th grade math in the fall. Evan was great from the start. He broke things down, used props and visuals to help explain concepts and was extremely patient. He even re-explained something to me that I had forgotten, so that I could go over the packet and make sure my son was doing it correctly. He was able to finish the packet by the deadline and I am confident that he is prepared for the coming school year. And it’s comforting to know that we’ll have Evan’s help when school starts, to make sure that he doesn’t fall behind again.

Colleen – Burbank, CA

Evan is working with my son who has high functioning autism. My son does not communicate well, if he does not understand, but Evan is figuring it out and my son is making progress. Thanks Evan!

Evan has been tutoring my daughter for the ISEE. We were delayed in starting but Evan has been exceptional at assuring she’s on target & able to learn & practice what is needed. I’ve been incredibly appreciative of his willingness to oversee her work even with the December/January holidays. Evan’s an excellent tutor, very knowledgeable and patient & has been a pleasure to work with.

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.

Julia – Burbank, CA 

I never got a chance to formally thank you for all the help with my personal statements. I actually received a two hundred thousand scholarship which will cover my four years, room and board at LMU. Jennifer and I appreciate your help! Thank you! And if I ever need tutoring in college I will know who to go to now!

Paola – Universal City, CA

No matter how smart, not everyone is also a talented and engaging teacher. My daughter loved her session with Evan and said it was such good use of her time. She was inspired and believed in herself to keep working after the meeting. Would love to book him again!

Evan reviewed my son’s college app essays with him and was amazing! He asked all the right questions and guided her in condensing and focusing her essay. He truly knows what he is doing. I would definitely recommend him!

I was very pleased with Evan’s work ethic, he’s very professional and patient. He gave me positive feedback and explained clearly to me what he feels works as far as what employers want to see in any resume. I would definitely ask him to tutor me again in any subject. He is very knowledgeable and he is very easy to work with!

Vicki – Sherman Oaks, CA

Evan was great!! He really helped my daughter with her college entrance essays. I highly recommend him!! My daughter was so stressed out over college applications and Evan was wonderful and efficient and very knowledgeable. He was very prompt and did not waste a single minute.

Iline – Chatsworth, CA
