Nefira Masic is a remarkable teacher. Our family is so very appreciative of the incredibly considerate attention to detail, and personalized approach Nefira took week in and week out with our daughter. Nefira went above and beyond to help our daughter, and spent time throughout the entire year giving direct feedback to me and my wife, as well as very detailed follow up email and recommended ideas to better help and support our daughter.
As a parent, you can see when someone cares while interacting with your child. Nefira was the ultimate consummate professional in her preparation, and thoughtful tutoring sessions week in and week out. Our daughter very much gravitated to working with Nefira, because she could sense Nefira had sincere and genuine attentions to help her with a skill she struggles with, and this made for more impactful progress throughout the year.
Nefira’s skill set was so comprehensive, and this really helped our daughter in both reading and writing development. Finally, Nefira is just a remarkable human being. Our family so enjoyed getting to see her week in and week out, and we definitely plan to stay in touch. I wanted to pass forward this high praise for Nefira and Boston Tutor Services, it was incredible and thank you for helping our daughter.

“I wanted to let you know that we had such a great experience with Ihuoma Dike. She was absolutely wonderful. She made my daughter feel so comfortable by taking her time and being patient, especially when it had been a long day. I would highly recommend her for a tutor. Even when things got ‘boring,’ she would take out numbers and other visuals to help keep things flowing and interesting. Thank you for helping us guide my daughter in the right direction. She’s been doing so well with school, and has kept up despite missing numerous days.”

“Thanks so much for your support for my son studying for the SSAT this fall. It went by fast! As I mentioned to David, he was super helpful, able to relate to my son well, and quickly narrowed him in on the places he needed to focus. I totally appreciate your help!”

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.”

Boston Tutoring is a great organization to work with. They are responsive, professional and work extremely well with our students.
They always have tutors available and can be very flexible when scheduling with students and families, if needed.

“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.
