With more than 20 years of experience, I am a seasoned tutor and standardized test prep specialist. I have an impressive track record of helping numerous students succeed on exams such as the ISEE, SSAT, SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, MCAT, and LSAT. Throughout my career, I've worked as an independent tutor, for The Princeton Review, and at Worcester State University's Academic Success Center. Drawing from my background in cognitive science, mathematics, and education, which I acquired at UMass-Amherst, University of Colorado-Boulder, and Worcester State University, I create custom strategies to suit each distinct client or class. My knowledge also earned me a license in secondary mathematics education from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. In addition to my academic accomplishments, I am a musician, songwriter, and music producer.

My daughter receives high school Chemistry tutoring from Oliver, who is truly outstanding. He conducts himself in a professional and punctual manner and stays flexible while explaining the subject matter in a comprehensible way. One of the things we really admire about him is that he can spontaneously dive into the material without any prior notice, which is a rarity amongst other tutors we’ve encountered. Moreover, he is always willing to switch gears and provide assistance with Math as well, which showcases his versatility. I highly recommend Oliver.

I would eagerly rehire Oliver for his tutoring services and intend to do so as long as he continues to offer them. His help was instrumental in my grandson's success, as it turned his failing grade in 8th grade math around and allowed him to advance to 9th grade. It's hard to imagine anything more desirable than that. His quality of work is impeccable and receives a score of 100%!

At Worcester Academy, my 15-year-old son takes Honors Algebra II. While he had no prior difficulties with math, the course proved to be a challenge resulting in a decline in his grades. However, Oliver came to the rescue by helping him understand the missing pieces and regain confidence. My son found Oliver's tutoring approach very effective and thoroughly enjoyed the sessions, which resulted in a significant improvement in his grades. As a parent, I found Oliver to be responsive to calls and messages, accommodating to schedule changes, and exceedingly charitable with his time - often extending sessions beyond the scheduled hour. I'm extremely satisfied with Oliver's results and would undoubtedly employ his services again for my children.

My daughter received invaluable assistance from Oliver in reviewing the math segment of the ACT and SAT exams. Consequently, her SAT score improved by an impressive 130 points. We are delighted with the results, and as a result, I have already enlisted Oliver's services to help my younger daughter prepare for her pre-calc and SAT tests in the coming fall. Thank you very much, Oliver!
