What People Are Saying

“Rob is absolutely fantastic.  My kids were getting all-A’s in MCPS schools, but I knew their writing was not good.  Rob taught them specific techniques that transformed their writing into something that impresses me.  He did the same with their analytical skills.”

— Scott, father of a 7th and 11th grade student

 

“Thanks to Robert's guidance and support, both of my children are becoming more confident and competent writers.  Despite the recent challenge of having to work remotely and virtually, Robert found ways to effectively connect with each of them, quickly identifying their respective strengths and weaknesses and developing a plan for improvement.  He sets clear expectations for high-quality work, while engaging and motivating my children to meet those expectations with a good measure of humor and patience.”

— Camellia, mom of a 5th and 8th grade student

"Rob is a fantastic teacher. He tutors my middle-school son in reading and writing. He gets exactly what he is lacking and teaches him skills that target his weakness. His lessons are engaging with high expectations. I can see the improvement in my son's writing works clearly.”

— Qing, mom of an 8th grade student

 

“Rob worked with my high school twins with their writing as they prepared for the International Baccalaureate program and later helped them formulate their college essays.  My kids found Rob very approachable and helpful as they navigated the writing process, and they became more confident writers. In addition to his helpfulness, our family enjoyed getting to know Rob.  He is a witty, engaged, and thoughtful person and I think any student will be well served with Rob’s assistance.”

— Monica, mom of high school twins

What People Are Still Saying

“Before Rob began working with my son his writing was disorganized and lacked flow. After weekly academic coaching sessions, his writing has improved in the areas which were of most concern and in other ways including word choice and a sense of voice. Moreover, these improvements allow my son to find pleasure and a sense of pride through his writing.  Apart from realizing the academic goals for which we hired him, Rob has been very easy to work with. His sense of humor, warmth and professionalism are always evident.”

— Lee, mom of a 9th grade student

 

“My son has been reluctant to participate in working with a tutor, but he has really enjoyed both times you have taught him! You are a miracle worker! 

—Sandra, mom of a 10th grade student
