‘Alan’s expertise and knowledge of preparing students for SATs is superlative, it is no coincidence that our students’ scores improved dramatically once Alan began working with them. It’s a joy to watch how he makes the most complex ideas or concepts easily understood by all the students and his ability to enthuse and engage young people is inimitable. Alan’s technical knowledge is a given, but it’s his warmth, generosity and ability to connect with people and get the best out of them that has truly impressed me.’
