AJ Tutoring

AJ tutoring is an EXCEPTiIONAL place. Thus far, I have had two of my kids receive test prep form AJ tutoring. Their tutors were extremely professional, kind and caring. They were true experts in the tutoring they provide. Both of my kids scored low on their first SAT exams, coming in around 1700, After a nine week prep stint, they both scored 2200 and above. My son opted for the group prep class which ran 9 weeks prior to the exam, and my daughter opted for the one on one tutor. They were both extremely satisfied with the tutoring they received. AJ tutor generously provided all study materials and practice exams were administered each week. My daughter was struggling with her AP Calculus class senior year. The teacher was an old crab who did not teach well at all. We enlisted the support of an AJ tutor weekly. Her name was Aly Malek. My daughter’s class grade went from a C to a solid A, and she earned a 4 on her AP Calculus exam.
AJ tutor offers AP tutoring in virtually every AP course, so if the teacher is not a good one at school, their support can certainly carry you through. Many students at out high school, Leland High, take AP exams for which they never took the course. This happens because many of the AP classes are so impacted that they cannot accommodate everyone who wants to take the oourse. In this case, AJ tutoring can provide excellent support in mastering the content and for passing the exams.
Years ago, I was referred to AJ tutoring by a dear friend who had her daughter do test prep with AJ tutoring. Her daughter attended a prestigious private all girls school here in San Jose. She bombed the SAT exam. She paid a hefty amount for test prep at a fancy, Ivy league training center. Her SAT did not improve. Then she found out about AJ tutoring. Her scores rent through the roof. The same happened to my two kids. Now, I am on my third and last child. This is the third time that I do not hesitate to enroll my child at AJ tutoring. The dramatic difference in my kids’ test scores enabled them to be accepted to their dream schools, UC Davis and UC Berkeley.

AJ Tutoring has been a remarkable support to our son. He has worked with his tutor Matt Furman at AJ since the start of the school year. Matt works very diligently with our son twice a week helping him with organizational skills, setting goals, accomplishing the weekly homework and preparing him for tests. We appreciate that Matt helps to keep him focused and on track. As a result, we feel that our son has gained much confidence in his academic journey. We are grateful for the communication between all of us to achieve such wonderful success. We can highly recommend AJ Tutoring!

AJ’s and their tutor Matt Furman were a ‘game changer’ for our son. He started with Matt to prepare for the SAT and then the ACT. Matt did an OUTSTANDING job preparing him academically for both tests but more than that, he prepared him emotionally for both. At a stressful time for a teenager, he was able to help our son stay calm and go into each test feeling prepared and relaxed which was huge for him. He was able to increase his ACT composite score by three points from one test to the next. His belief in our son and his abilities gave him the confidence he needed to go into each test knowing he would do better than before. I cannot say enough about Matt and AJ Tutoring, would recommend it to everyone and do! Finding the right tutor for your child is key but from what I have heard, AJ has many to work with so that you will for sure find the right one. The interview I had with the AJ employee to find the right tutor for my son worked well, they knew his personality and who would be the best fit for him … and he sure was! My son is finished with the testing process but would happily go back to work with Matt if he needed to, he was a great influence and mentor for our son and cannot thank him enough!

My daughter did the preparation for the SAT with AJ tutoring in Los Gatos and John McNulty was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and professional, kind, and great at explaining in different ways.
Her scores increased by 200 points. Thank you so much for all your help with my daughter. She was very happy. John did a wonderful job helping her with her SAT tutoring.
I highly recommend John McNulty.

Both of my daughters used AJ Tutoring for their SAT/​ACT needs and they learned many good strategies for taking those tests. My older daughter did the SAT class and my younger daughter had a one on one tutor named Travis MacPhee. Travis was awesome! My daughter learned so much from him. I would recommend the private tutor (Travis) over the class because I think there is more focus on their individual needs. She got a great score on the SAT and is currently applying to colleges.
