Client Testimonials

"I called Ian for help preparing for the SAT and after a few weeks of tutoring my score improved 230 points. He helped me achieve the tests scores I was looking for and later helped me through the process of applying to colleges. Because of his help I've gotten into some great Universities. Thanks Ian!

  • Mike M., CdMHS (UCLA class of 2008)

  • "Before I got tutoring help I hardly had a grasp on even the most basic concepts of chemistry. But after just one session, I felt a lot more confident in my understanding of these concepts. Having one on one help and being walked through the steps is definitely the way to go."

  • Justin W., NHHS

  • "After a bad experience with another test-prep company, I enrolled in an individual SAT course at The Learning Shack. Within the 2 weeks I prepared before my exam, my score improved 280 points! Then I improved another 150 points when I took the test the following month! I am so excited to have my pick of where I am going to college."
