Testimonials
Vanessa G. from San Jose, CA We chose Ryan as a tutor for our son Ross for AP European History. Ryan is very calm, patient, and had some great ideas to help our son get organized and moving in the right direction, toward passing the remaining tests he had in class, and the AP European History exam itself. Ryan also helped our son with his organizational skills, which was invaluable. Having another set of ideas on how to get a 16 year old organized and motivated was very much needed in our house! We would highly recommend Ryan as a tutor for your son or daughter.Thanks, Ryan, for doing such an awesome job. We appreciate you very much!
Marilee T. from Los Altos, CA Ryan is very knowledgeable about AP European History and came prepared with multiple resources. He provided test-taking strategies for both multiple choice questions and written essays. He is a super nice, patient person who wants my student to succeed. Highly recommend Ryan.
Hannah C. from Santa Cruz, CA Ryan was a great tutor! I came to him with very little time to study for the CSET. He helped me organize the time I had left to prepare. We made a feasible plan to get the most out of the two weeks I had before retaking the CSET. He also provided amazing study books. He also gave me great tips on writing portion of the test. Ryan's a great guy. He checked in with me throughout the two weeks, and provided positive feedback and talks. Having him as a tutor really helped prioritize my study habits as well as material to pass the CSET. Thanks man!
Bryan V. from San Jose, CA Great History Tutor! Our son was struggling with some concepts in his AP US history class and was pretty stressed out about taking his AP exam. Ryan, who teaches AP history at another local high school, was able to help our son understand the concepts he was missing, and coached him on how to approach and break down the essay parts of the exam. Ryan was very patient, and knowledgeable, and friendly, and gave our son the confidence he needed to do well on his AP test as well as the key to do well on essays for all his AP classes. I would highly recommend Ryan for any tutoring needed for high school- and college-level history.
Brenda M. from Los Gatos, CA Ryan was very accommodating to meet with my daughter on short notice to help with AP History test prep. He was extremely knowledgeable and helped her work through approaches to the different aspects of the test. I would recommend him.
