When I called Leo for the first time to tutor my son who was studying for his ACT test I was very apprehensive it would make any difference! Mainly because Months before we hired another tutor who had high crudentials but somehow after $2,000 and months of practice my son's ACT score on his first test was 27 which was incredibly disappointing! Leo told me right from the get go that he will not guarantee me or my son anything. One thing he can do is to be able to connect with him so much so that he wants to pick up the book and study "the boring stuff". Well, he wasn't kidding! Right after the first meeting my son told me he likes him by far better than the first tutor we hired for him. Leo worked with my son for a few months and my son took the test twice in that time . His ACT score on the second try was 30 and on his third try 33! With 36 in math and 35 in science. Overall He improved 6 points!!! Leo gave him weekly assignments, how to optimizing score. He sent us a report everytime he finished the lesson and had frequent communication with my husband and I. Overall the entire experience was seemless, honest and great We highly recommend him ! read more

Leo is an excellent SAT tutor. He has been working with our son to prepare him for the SAT and tutors him in all three subjects, Math, English, and the Essay. Since we started working with Leo we have witnessed an astonishing improvement in our son's performance - his score increased by 300 points. This improvement is evenly distributed in all areas of the test. Leo has past experience with the Princeton Review and has been teaching students for years. I believe that my son's improvement in the SAT test scores are in large part because Leo has mastery of the material as well as the test taking strategies. He is an effective teacher and has a clear strategy for preparing kids for the exam. From day one, he put together a detailed work plan for my son including customized worksheets and daily homework. Finally, Leo understands how to work with teenagers - he is very relatable, good spirited and makes the times he spends tutoring as enjoyable as possible. Overall, our experience with Leo has been very successful and he is highly recommended read more

Leo tutored my son for two years (Algebra and Geometry) and my daughter for the SAT. My two kids are very different from each other in learning styles and Leo was amazing for both of them. His teaching style is adaptable, fun, energetic, and collaborative while holding the kids accountable for doing the work and learning the material. It's also worth noting that when we had to change our in-person lessons to an online platform, Leo made the transition seamlessly. While I can't say my kids looked forward to their lessons with Leo, they enjoyed their time with him and they definitely benefited from his teaching. Leo is a consummate professional - always on time, always flexible with schedule changes, and always kept me in the loop on how things were going. I enthusiastically recommend Leo without reservation. read more

I have been tutoring with Leo for about 10 months now (wow, time flies) and I can't recommend him to enough people! When I first started practicing SAT math, I would only understand a couple of problems per practice test, and with his help, it feels like I can whiz through most of the section! He gives incredibly helpful specific strategies, as well as necessary math skills which go beyond the SAT's. Before I started working with Leo, my math grade was at a B-, and this year it's up to an A+! I will not only use the skills he has thought me beyond SAT and high school math, but I will also always value his sociability, humor, knowledge and intelligence. read more

Leo is the absolute best! I was initially apprehensive about using an online SAT tutor, but from my daughter's first lesson he has been responsive, professional, and most importantly, effective, in every interaction. He's taught her both content and strategies that have made math easier to understand. He really connects with his students and is very friendly and encouraging. I was blown away when she scored a 1400 on her first practice test with him after a couple sessions. This was a 300 point increase from her PSAT scores. I will definitely be using Leo for my freshman and have recommended him to all my friends. read more

A 330-Point Jump from PSAT to SAT! My son worked with Leo for six months, meeting every two to three weeks. Between sessions, he stayed focused and motivated--thanks in large part to Leo's encouragement and guidance. Leo was deeply involved in my son's progress, identifying weak areas and tailoring assignments to target them effectively. Throughout the process, Leo kept me updated with emails and group texts, but I was able to stay hands-off and let them work. This remarkable improvement happened because my son was committed to doing the work, and Leo gave him the tools, encouragement, and direction to succeed. read more

Leo was able to teach both test taking strategy and content, personalizing lessons to what our daughter needed most.

Leo has been a wonderful math tutor for my 10th grade son. They are covering very high level math and Leo will stay as long as it takes, all the while being cheerful and encouraging. We've tried a couple other math tutors in the past, but Leo has, by far, the best rapport with my son and a talent for explaining complex ideas. He is very flexible about scheduling and a good communicator. Because of Covid, we've now switched to online tutoring with Leo. The transition has been seamless and we're thankful that our son can continue his tutoring sessions. I highly recommend TutoringBoston. read more

Leo recently tutored my son Luke for his SATs. It was important to me that Luke have a tutor who he could "connect" with, knowing that is the best way for Luke to learn. Luke enjoyed his sessions with Leo, and his scores greatly improved from his PSAT to his SAT. During their sessions together, they spent a lot of time focusing on some of Luke's weaker areas but also went over the "tricks and tips" that are just as important when taking these types of tests. I feel confident that when Luke takes his next SAT we will see even more of an improvement in his scores. read more

He was very engaging during lessons and shared insights/tips with me after each session so we knew what to focus on before our next session with him. My daughter really connected with Leo and enjoyed her lessons with him because he made test preparation fun and engaging. Thank you Leo! read more
