Our rising 7th grader met with Ryan weekly to sharpen her analytic writing skills. She happily attended each session and found Ryan's teaching style to be engaging and effective. We feel she is in great shape to tackle 7th grade English! — Pam C.

Ryan is not only able to engage with my son and challenge his critical thinking skills and help him improve his writing, but he also makes it interesting. For a middle schooler who gravitates toward sports, this is not an easy task. Ryan very diligently communicates with us on our son’s progress, which is always much appreciated. —Jen L.

Ryan tutors my son in writing and SSAT preparation. I have seen the improvement of his writing and he is more engaged with his work. As the school year started, my son told me that he feels better about his schoolwork. Ryan really prepared him during the summer. I am looking forward to my son’s continued growth as he continues working with Ryan. — Jian F.
