Testimonials

My son really enjoyed working with David Thompson. His test scores definitely improved from his first test to his second and in only a short amount of time. David would think of creative ways to remember things and made learning fun for my son. He was always reliable and flexible in scheduling. I would highly recommend David and would definitely use him again in the future!

“When I first spoke with David Thompson and explained my hopes and needs in getting my Middle School-aged boys prepared for their needed improvement on their second attempt at the ISEE exam, he responded, “results are my middle name.” I can now confidently say that he was not lying. Both of my children significantly improved their scores after working with David. He was extremely easy to work with, communicated well, was always very prepared for the sessions and had an extremely personable approach, which made the sessions enjoyable for my children. I was extremely satisfied with our experience. Highly recommend David and would certainly use him again.”

“My son had such a positive experience working with David as his SSAT upper level tutor. We just received the actual test score, and are so proud! He made great strides, particularly in the verbal section where he was struggling, and managed to bring up his score significantly from the practice exam he did immediately prior to working with David. I would highly recommend David for any prep tutoring services. He was kind, but firm, provided excellent guidance on strategies, and helped build my son’s confidence along the way. Moreover, David was very flexible in working with our schedule, which sometimes changed from week to week depending on academic and sports commitments. David often went above and beyond, including providing additional resources that Aidan could use to practice on his own. Thank you to Boston Tutoring Services, and a special thank you to David, for everything.”

“My daughter worked with a great math tutor.  Laurie Jaffe was patient and knowledgeable, and she had a great ability to break down material into simpler concepts, making them easy to understand. Her teaching style is engaging and interactive, with plenty of examples and real-world applications to help solidify the concepts. For example, she brought a cake to cut up (and eat of course) when teaching my daughter fractions!  I highly recommend!” – S.Y., Needham

Dave Thompson was fantastic in getting my son ready for the ISEE. He covered all the content in a stress-free and fun approach. My son saw a meaningful jump in his scores as a result. I have made a point to recommend Dave to several people since our time with Dave. My son was accepted into all of the schools that he applied to and ended up choosing The Roxbury Latin School. Dave will always be in our hearts! Thank you Dave.

I write this recommendation with great pleasure. Greg Conklin has tutored my son in High School Biology for several semesters and I am very pleased with the progress he is making. My son has learning difficulties and attention challenges. Greg has worked through them, kindly, and with great patience. I also like the fact that he uses a lot of different materials – starting with the Biology textbook, to using flashcards, quizzes, and several other online resources to help him memorize the course material. Whenever his attention wanders, Greg has switched tactics to use a different teaching method so he remains attentive and engrossed.  My kid’s school teacher has asked me more than once to have me record a video of Greg tutoring so they can utilize some of the same methods at school!  Thank you very much for helping him pass the required Biology course. Your help is truly appreciated.

Alexandra was super communicative and made the process of finding a tutor so quick and simple. She spent time listening about my daughter’s education, tutoring needs and personality and Wow! she really chose the perfect tutor for her. My daughter was reticent to have a tutor, but from the moment David Thompson walked in the door, she was smiling and excited to learn. Her first comment when he left was that he was funny and super, super smart! In fact, she now looks forward to his weekly tutoring visits; the one day she had to do a zoom session she commented that she missed him being in person. He makes her laugh and makes learning fun, which is a true gift that he has, yet he is extremely professional and communicative. The entire experience went well beyond the expectations of my husband and I!

“We had wonderful experience working with Boston Tutoring Services and Mike McDavid. Alexandra was quick and professional, she found the right fit for our kids. When our son did not connect with one of the tutors, she quickly found a replacement and refunded us for the session.
We felt we always had the support when we needed it without any pressure to purchase more lessons or a bigger package.”

It was incredibly easy to set up a time that worked for both me (a college student) and the tutor. I was a bit nervous at first but I was able to express which units/topics I had trouble with; and although I was not the best at describing exactly what my thought process was it was always resolved in a way that I could understand.
