Scott began tutoring Brooklyn students in 2011. He worked for a non-profit organization tutoring students in low income families. That organization lost their funding after one short year. He was fortunate enough to have a few great families who hired him on to be a private tutor for their children. His meager three families quickly turned into over 30 families in the Bay Ridge area of Brooklyn. Currently he works with Brooklyn families in the Bay Ridge and Park Slope areas, tutoring in math, english, and science. He also writes educational workbooks for grade school students. Most importantly, he is a proud husband and father.

To be honest, some lectures are hard but they are supposed to be, I like this course and now I know more about SHSAT math, can't wait to take the final test to see what I get! If I get above 90% on the final test then I don't have to worry at all about the math part of the SHSAT.

My experience with Scott was wonderful. I started studying for the SHSAt in march. I am quickly moving through this course, and each time it gets easier and easier. The explanations are in-depth, and the quizzes and assignments really give you a sense of what you are doing right and wrong. The SHSAT is coming up, and i feel very prepared. recommend this to anyone considering buying.
