“Phoebe tutored me in verbal as well as quantitative. My score improved 6 points in the verbal section and 5 points in the quant section. She gives practice material as homework and then goes over it in depth with you during the session which is extremely helpful to have access to as much material as possible. In regards to the math section specifically, she first teaches you the concepts through exercises and then shows you how to apply those concepts to real GRE questions. This is helpful because with the fundamentals being taught first you can apply what you know to just about any GRE problem instead of learning how to do specific problems and not being able to relate it to something slightly different next time.”
— Jamie, 18 lessons with Phoebe
“Phoebe helped me raise my teas score from a 70 to an 80! Phoebe was easy to work with, and flexible with my full time schedule. She caters her lessons based on your weaknesses, so I didn’t feel like we had to start from the very beginning. I had limited time to raise my score and I was happy that in such a short period of time I was able to improve. I highly recommend working with her!”
— Audrey, 21 lessons with Phoebe
“I cannot recommend my TEAS tutor enough. Pheobe truly pushed me beyond what I thought I was capable of and challenged me in all the right ways. What made her stand out wasn’t just that she taught me the material—she made sure I actually understood why things worked, not just how to memorize answers. She broke down difficult concepts in a way that finally made them click for me and gave me the confidence I needed going into my exam. Her patience, knowledge, and ability to adapt to the way I learn made all the difference. Because of her guidance, I improved not only my scores but also the way I approach problem-solving. I genuinely hope more students find her profile and choose her as their tutor—she made a huge impact on my journey. Please stop looking any further and book Pheobe to be your TEAS Test tutor!”

— Kate, 23 lessons with Phoebe
“We hired Phoebe after being unhappy with two other tutors. Phoebe has a great approach and is really dedicated to seeing your child succeed. We were on a condensed timeline of less than 3 weeks before the test. We focused on math and my daughter's ISEE math scores increased by 4 points! What an amazing improvement after only 3 weeks of tutoring. Imagine if we had more time? :) Thank you Phoebe for your hard work and dedication.”
— Danielle, 8 lessons with Phoebe

Thanks to her targeted approach and deep understanding of the GRE, I was able to see significant improvements in both areas. Phoebe's teaching style is patient and personalized, ensuring that each session addressed my specific needs and challenges.

— Paritosh, 52 lessons with Phoebe
“Phoebe is friendly, passionate, and smart. She taught me how to write for the CBEST Writing exam. She is excellent at enhancing details in sentences in a logical way, and her suggestions were insightful and helpful. She helped me to objectively review my writing and improve the way I elaborate simple, short sentences for clarity. She also analyzed my weaknesses and helped me review and improve my grammar.”
— Akiko, 8 lessons with Phoebe
“Focused on one part at a time. Pointed out my weakness and my strength. Worked through different passages and focused on understanding them. Scheduled some additional sessions to continue the strategy and understanding of the reading and math parts in preparation for the SAT exam this weekend.”
— Carla, 4 lessons with Phoebe
“This was our first time using Wyzant. My daughter wanted to improve her score on the reading section of the ACT. She knew she would struggle with that section based on the 9th & 10th grade pre ACT scores. I spoke with Phoebe before the session and I knew she would be a good tutor for my daughter, so we scheduled the first tutoring session in January for the ACT test date in March. Phoebe is a great tutor!! My daughter did not want to sit in ACT prep classes and she did not want to use self paced courses. She immediately complimented Phoebe tutoring and approach to the subject. After a few sessions she felt more confident and answered questions correctly on the practice tests. After only 7 weeks of tutoring and meeting once a week, she scored a 29 on the reading section (91st percentile). I wish we found Phoebe sooner and had more time to schedule twice a week so she could’ve worked on the science section too! Overall my daughter did great on the ACT and Phoebe really helped where it mattered most for my daughter! 5 stars and we would definitely recommend Phoebe! Thank you Phoebe!!”
— Keisha , 10 lessons with Phoebe
“Phoebe is a very knowledgeable tutor who obviously has a lot of experience and knows how to effectively communicate the material in a stress free environment. I look forward to the sessions and she has material that allows me to work in the topics between sessions.”
— Peter, 10 lessons with Phoebe
“I wanted to improve my GRE quant score by a few percentage points and knew I was having some trouble thinking about the problems. Phoebe gave me hundreds of practice problems and supported me while developing my expertise in both the subject matter and how to think about GRE test questions. I improved from 158 to 164 on the quant section, and her help was a huge part of it. Thank you!”
— Joshua, 9 lessons with Phoebe
“Phoebe is the best!!! She is very patient and kind. I had previously failed statistics the first time I took it although now that I took it with her help I passed with a 98%! She is very thorough and comes prepared with her own slides and practice questions. IF YOU WANT TO PASS ANY CLASS BOOK PHOEBE NOW!!!!!”
— Jasmine, 47 lessons with Phoebe

— Briana, 7 lessons with Phoebe
“Phoebe taught me all the math I need to prep for my exam. She a great teacher and cares for her students to succeed. Definitely A++++ . Best tutor I ever had!!”
— Erica, 50 lessons with Phoebe
“Phoebe is helping me improve my math score. Aside from reviewing basic math concepts with me, she is also knowledgeable in patterns most commonly used in GRE questions and is great at explaining these concepts so I can solve questions faster and with more ease. She takes the time to explain concepts I have difficulty with and is able to reframe her explanations if I have trouble understanding. She uses GRE standard materials, so you are practicing with questions that may even be on the exam. Great tutor.”
— Araby, 14 lessons with Phoebe
“I started my tutoring lessons with Phoebe in September 2021 to help me prepare for the GRE in February 2022. We met twice a week until January, when I took the first GRE and received a score of 152 (53rd percentile) on verbal reasoning, and 148 (28th percentile) on quantitative reasoning. After my January test, we met three times a week until my second test in February, where I scored 160 (85th percentile) on verbal reasoning and 155 (54th percentile) on quantitative reasoning. I really enjoyed Phoebe's organized way of teaching the material and the practice problems she provided for me. She was patient with me and I could tell she really wanted me to succeed! With Phoebe's help, I was able to improve my scores substantially through consistent meetings with her and the practice material she provided for me.”
— Kelly, 57 lessons with Phoebe
“Phoebe was amazing during our first session. I am preparing to take the GRE for graduate school and she is definitely helping me feel ready for my attempt. I have always struggled with math and Phoebe has been able to break down concepts in a way that help me understand the material. Will absolutely book more sessions as I study for this test.”
— Emily, 1 lesson with Phoebe

“Pheobe is an amazing tutor. She is fully prepared and knowledgeable about the subject. She tutored me for Biostats in preparation for a midterm. The review of key concepts was broken down step by step. She was very patient and followed me with clear explanations. I was surprised to see that she had printed materials like study sheets and problems for me to practice on. Above and beyond what I expected.”

— Luis , 199 lessons with Phoebe
“Phoebe helped me study for the math section of the SAT and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! She did a great job helping me understand all the concepts that would be on the test, and once I took the SAT I knew how to do practically every single one!! I highly recommend Phoebe; she is an excellent tutor and person.”
— Olivia, 10 lessons with Phoebe
“Phoebe was incredible, very flexible and detailed. Knows the subject and provided great prep and my daughter passed. I would recommend Phoebe to anyone and if I needed a future tutor, Phoebe would be my "GO TO".”
— Christine, 7 lessons with Phoebe
“Phoebe does a lot of preparation before the session. She personalizes the homework for the student with a focus on the weaker areas which is a great use of time.”
— Evan, 9 lessons with Phoebe
“I worked with Phoebe during my quest to improve my GMAT score from a 640. Studying on my own, I could not get past the 660 barrier on multiple practice tests. My weakest area was quantitative and working with Phoebe every weekend on various subjects within the topic, I was able to quickly identify the type of problem being asked and the best & quickest way to solve it. After multiple sessions with Phoebe in addition to significant work on my own, I was able to apply the strategies we perfected and secured a 710 on the GMAT. I am very happy with the work I did with Phoebe. She is a great tutor for people wanting to refresh their skills.”
— Julio, 14 lessons with Phoebe
“Phoebe was able to show me my area of weakness as well as my strengths. We worked on the my writing skills for the CBEST exam. Over the course of a few weeks she was able to quickly identify the areas I needed to work on. She would go through each sentence and correct it if needed. She would explain why a certain sentence needed better structure. If I didn’t understand, she would patiently provide other examples until I understood. She also provided motivational support in efforts to help me succeed. She is also very kind and always looking for ways to help improve my writing.”
— Elizabeth, 10 lessons with Phoebe
“From the moment Phoebe responded to my inquiry, I knew she was a top notch tutor. She showed interest in understanding my daughter’s needs with her statistics class and was well prepared for their meeting. Also I greatly appreciated her communication regarding availability, price, and showing sincere interest in helping my daughter succeed. Obviously I would highly recommend Phoebe!”
— Cindy, 1 lesson with Phoebe
“Phoebe was so incredibly helpful. I worked with her for a few months to improve my math score and I was able to improve my test score by 50 points each time on the GMAT. There's no way I would have been able to have a solid math foundation or get a score I was happy with without Phoebe.”
— Stewart, 43 lessons with Phoebe
“Phoebe has been tutoring me now for a month and a half. During that time, not only has she been really patient with me but she helped me improve my quantitative GRE score by 6 points. She is a great tutor and I plan to continue working with her to improve my score. She is very knowledgeable and I would recommend her anytime.”
— Allison, 23 lessons with Phoebe

— Ashley, 12 lessons with Phoebe
“I had not taken a math class in nearly a decade and i found this tutor to be quick, efficient with the time, and detailed with lessons. She even made a lesson plan for me and had worksheets i could use to bolster my independent studying after the session was over. She was friendly and straight to the point in the time i had and made me feel like she wanted me to get as much as i could from our time. I am glad that she made me feel like she wasn't running the clock out, that she took her time to make sure i got what needed as quickly as i could learn it and then pressed for something new.”
— Kenneth, 1 lesson with Phoebe
“She was direct and to the point. She asked me in advance what I needed help with and prepared a detailed lesson plan. Made sure I understood the concepts before moving on to the next section.”
— Dafna , 3 lessons with Phoebe
“Phoebe was a great tutor! She was extremely patient and knowledgeable. She helped boost my GMAT Quant score up 10 points in a small amount of time. All the subjects we covered appeared on my test. I learned more from her than my Manhattan Prep course! I highly recommend Phoebe as a tutor!”
— Mariam, 8 lessons with Phoebe
“I really benefited from working with Phoebe on the GRE quantitative section. She was able to teach me a lot of material under a time crunch and helped me achieve a higher score in just a couple weeks. She had a lot of test prep materials, was very communicative, and able to explain solutions well. Definitely recommend!”
— Sylvia, 6 lessons with Phoebe
“very patient and creative in the teaching ,help me a lot in my english writing,the most wonderful studying experience I have ever meet”
— YINGHUI, 7 lessons with Phoebe
“Phoebe was really an amazing tutor. My daughter had 3 sessions a wk for 1 month. She tutored her for the CHSPE exam Phoebe was always prepared had material to work on, provided practice assignments and homework for my daughter at each session. Phoebe was patient, understanding and a more than qualified tutor. My daughter loved her as tutor she did what other tutors could not accomplish and that was get her to a level to pass the exam and pass above the required score!!! Phoebe is also very good at communication. I never got to meet Phoebe since my daughter is old enough to drive she went to session on her own but I always knew what was going on as she would call if needed, always emailed and texted to keep me informed after each session. Which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Phoebe she goes above and beyond to ensure the success of her students. Her credentials, rating and all the reviews speak volumes of what a truly amazing tutor she is.”
— Maria, 15 lessons with Phoebe
“She was thorough, well prepared and asked a lot of pertinent questions related to my daughter's class and overall academic performance.”
— JIna, 3 lessons with Phoebe
“After tutoring with Phoebe I got a 161 on the GRE Verbal section! Before I was getting around 150 on practice exams for the Verbal and getting mainly passage-related questions wrong, so we went over a lot of reading comprehension passages and questions and some fill-in-the-blank questions for the vocabulary section. Phoebe really knows good skills to use for understanding the readings well and tricks to use to know what the fill-in-the-blanks are really asking for.”
— Danielle, 2 lessons with Phoebe
“Phoebe is hands down the most amazing, attentive, and hard working tutor I have ever had the opportunity of learning from. Phoebe tutored me for about a week as I was preparing for my Statistics final. Without her I would not have gone into this final exam with the confidence that I did. She answered within 2 hours, and asked for my past exams so she can go over them on her own time so she can better prepare a lesson plan that fit my needs, and focused on what I was struggling with. We went over 60% of the material I have learned through the whole semester. Every single session I had with her she came prepared with slides, worksheets, example problems, and practice problems from different books. She assigned homework after every session and emailed me the slides we went over together so I could continue my studying at home, and that is exactly what I needed and it was extremely helpful. By completing the homework she gave me and reviewing the slides again on my own, I was able to apply what she taught me during our session to actual statistic problems and really making sure that I was understanding the material. She really does go above and beyond for her students, and I am so grateful.”
— Sahel , 4 lessons with Phoebe
“Phoebe is not your average tutor. From the beginning she makes time to hear your individual needs and pinpoint exactly what you are having trouble with. From there, she is able to calculate what you need to work on so that whatever problems you are having trouble with can be tackled from all sides. Therefore with a little hard work on your part and some determination Phoebe will no doubt help make you the student you want to be. For me one of my weaknesses has always been math. Especially, when it comes to word problems. I never was able to understand the conundrum in front of me. Though with Phoebe's help, I am finally able to grasp and make sense out of each math problem that comes my way.”
— Lilah, 51 lessons with Phoebe
“I studied with Phoebe in the spring and summer of 2015 in preparation for the GRE. I enjoyed our lessons and would highly recommend Phoebe as a tutor. Phoebe is patient, knowledgeable, and erudite. She is thorough in her explanations and truly cares about her students. Phoebe always promptly returned my phone calls when I had questions about GRE or our scheduled lessons. I found Phoebe to be extremely organized and punctual. She has a great insight and knows the subject very well. Our lessons consisted of going over many GRE problems and old exams. The practice tests and preparation problems that we did with Phoebe made me feel confident and prepared when I went to take the GRE. I received a competitive scores and, especially, I was able to improve on my analytical writing, scoring a 5 and placing in 93rd percentile. Most importantly, I was recently accepted into my top choice Master’s program, and I feel that Phoebe’s help with the GRE preparation strengthened my chances of getting in. Phoebe is an outstanding tutor and I would highly rate her and her lessons. If you are looking to improve your scores, Phoebe is the person to go to.”
— Yan, 17 lessons with Phoebe
“When I first started tutoring with Phoebe, I lacked the necessary familiarity and knowledge necessary to do well on the ACT, but after working with her on reading first and math later, everything became much simpler and more clear to me. Phoebe was able to cover all of the main topics and some specific topics on the ACT and prepared me well for the essay, writing, reading, math, and science section while being extremely patient and attentive. I highly recommend her for any tutoring needs.”
— Arthur, 13 lessons with Phoebe
“Phoebe is a really nice and helpful tutor. She helps me with SAT essay. After my first meeting, I already learned a lot.”
— Aileen, 17 lessons with Phoebe
“Phoebe helped me to familiarize myself with the basic math concepts. Prior to the tutor session, she found out my weakness and topics that I needed help. She was very well prepared with a material to go over and rest of them as a homework. She explained materials very clearly. She was on time and utilized every single minute of our two hours session. Excellent!”
— Seong, 22 lessons with Phoebe
“I am a new student of Phoebe's and so far my experience has been great. She made me feel a lot less stressed out about taking the GRE, seeing that she has a lot of experience tutoring and is knowledgeable about the exam. She also provides you with very helpful materials that have helped me on subjects I've struggled in. I would recommend her as a tutor because she is friendly, patient, has a lot of experience and communicates well with her students.”
— Gabriela, 26 lessons with Phoebe
“My daughter had two tutoring sessions with Phoebe for Algebra 1 and she's so much more confident in her understanding of algebra now. I thought 2 hours per session would be long but my daughter really enjoys it and says the time seemed short because Phoebe makes math easy to understand and fun.”
— Helen, 4 lessons with Phoebe
“I reached out to Phoebe because I had to retake the GRE and only had three weeks to study. I mostly needed to improve on the math portion because I knew that improving on the verbal portion requires more than three weeks. Prior to Phoebe, I studied on my own using approximately four books and various online resources. At the same time, I worked a full time job (60+ hours a week), so I studied before work and after work on got between 4-5 hours a sleep every night. Phoebe and I met for approximately 2 weeks and a total of 22 hours; on top of that, I had other tutors to help supplement my studying when Phoebe was not available, but Phoebe was my primary tutor. She worked with my schedule really well despite my full time job. We met at a public location for several hours on specific days and went over practice exams, exercises, and strategies that she designed; Phoebe had numerous resources that guided me in the right direction. She also gave me practice problems to do at home. When I addressed questions to her, she explained it in a way that is easy to understand. She knew what my weaknesses were and honed in on those topics. I started with a 152 (52%) on the math section initially and ended up with a 161 (83%) on the math section, which is a 31% improvement! So, I highly recommend Phoebe as a tutor. She is knowledgeable and flexible.”
— Elizabeth, 9 lessons with Phoebe
“I came to Phoebe because I was spending hours each weekend teaching myself math and getting nowhere. My teacher wasn't teaching at all, and I was very lost. I didn't just need help with my grades, I needed help with my time management and confidence level. After one session with Phoebe I felt a million times more confident during the test, and my grade reflected this--because she actually taught me how to do the problems in a way that made sense to me. I had failed the previous two quizzes before meeting with Phoebe, and made a B on the test after just one session with her--so a major improvement. I highly recommend her.”
— Amy, 3 lessons with Phoebe
“Prior to working with Phoebe, my writing score was in the 40th percentile. After rigorous work writing multiple essays, and meeting with Phoebe regularly, I placed into the 80th percentile, and recently was admitted in the doctoral program of my choice. That hard work really paid off!”
— Micharra, 41 lessons with Phoebe
“Phoebe was so helpful; we worked really hard. Sometimes we met for 4 hours. I started with the math score of 148/150 and after 5 weeks or so coming in on average 3+ times per week, I reached a score of 153 which is a 13% increase in percentile. Then I continued the tutoring for another 6+ weeks coming in on average 3+ times per week and reached a score of 156, which is a total of 25% increase in percentile. I completed more than 21 practice tests after reviewing all of 4 sections of the math review by ETS and doing homeworks assigned by Phoebe.”
— Mohamed, 37 lessons with Phoebe
“I have always struggled with the reading comprehension portion of the GRE, and Phoebe helped me find a way to fully understand and actually enjoy it at times. She had plenty of practice prepared for every time we met, and was very patient when I did not fully comprehend a question. She is also very considerate of your time and with scheduling. Great tutor!”
— Jillian, 6 lessons with Phoebe
“Phoebe was a very good GRE tutor. Her patience, expertise, and session preparation was very impressive. Her tutoring definitely boosted both my verbal and math scores to 83rd and 73rd percentiles respectively, from previously low scores.”
— Ezra , 4 lessons with Phoebe
“In just a couple sessions I have learned so much, and I already know my GRE scores are going to increase! She really puts in the effort to help you, and I couldn't ask for a better tutor.”
— Jonathan, 15 lessons with Phoebe
“I recently took the Statistics 10 course at UCLA and found myself to be struggling with the material after the first midterm. I'm pretty mathematically challenged and needed someone who could go through the lectures with me and explain them slowly and thoroughly. Phoebe was a great tutor and went out of her way to help me grasp the concepts and prepare for my exams. She always made sure that I really understood things and she always made time for us to meet up. I would definitely recommend Phoebe as a tutor!”
— Raya, 11 lessons with Phoebe
“Phoebe tutored my son in Algebra11 and now she is tutoring him in pre-calc. Because of her pedagogical techniques he clearly understands the material. After every lesson, Phoebe emails me a concise breakdown of every detail that she went over in the lesson and then she will also comment on certain elements of how my son was responding through the session. I have 3 children and have worked with many tutors and since working with Phoebe... I have found perfection.”
— Gail, 166 lessons with Phoebe
“I'd really like to highly recommend Phoebe as a math tutor. I was extremely worried about taking the Cbest(High School level) maths exam in order to be credentialed as a teacher here. My record as a math student is very bad. Phoebe persuaded me that I could succeed in math (which she loves herself) and that with steady work and regular sessions with her I would succeed and I did! On the day of the exam her training and hard work kicked in and I managed to pass my Cbest math exam first time and with excellent results! She is extremely positive, very patient and a talented mathematician so if you don't understand the math one way she can show you numerous other approaches to help you get to grips with the concepts. In fact Phoebe never gives up on you which gives you a great sense of security. And finally she is great fun to work with too. I never thought I'd find math enjoyable but with Phoebe I did. I am so pleased I chose her as my tutor.”
— Gabrielle, 13 lessons with Phoebe
“Phoebe is the best tutor any one could ask for. She is so helpful, understanding, and patient. I needed tutoring for the TEAS test. I had previously taken the exam, but failed it. So, I decided to hire a tutor. Phoebe tutored me on Biology, Chemistry, and English because these subjects were my weakest points. She made it easy for me to understand each subject. I recently took the Teas test and PASSED!! I wouldn't have been able to do this without Phoebe. I couldn't ask for a better tutor. She is super smart and knows what she is doing. She is always prepared and ready to go. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
— Christina, 123 lessons with Phoebe
“I took the TEAS test once and did not do well. I felt that I needed a tutor to help me improve my scores, especially in Reading Comprehension and Grammar. After 24 hours of tutoring with Phoebe over a two month period, I dramatically improved both my Reading Comprehension and Grammar. I improved my Reading Comprehension percentile ranking by 27 points and my Grammar by 36 points, while my overall percentile ranking went up by 22 points. I'm sure that if I had another two months with Phoebe, I would have done even better!”
— Curtis, 13 lessons with Phoebe
“Phoebe is an excellent tutor. She is always well-prepared for my sessions and was very patient with me. She did a great job of covering all of the material possible during our sessions together, and was great at explaining test strategies as well as all different types of problems that the GRE would throw at me. I would definitely recommend Phoebe to anyone looking for a dedicated, smart and friendly tutor. 5 stars!”
— Bonnie, 7 lessons with Phoebe
“Phoebe's diligent and conscientious tutoring made all the difference to my sixteen year-old daughter who has been living and studying in Europe for 8 years. We were so very impressed by Phoebe's thorough and clear approach to teaching the higher levels of math. She prepared herself very well by making sure she understood what my daughter had been doing overseas. Before the first tutoring session. I really appreciated the extra effort. My daughter had failed her precalculus level class. With Phoebe's explanation, practice and advice, my daughter returned to her school to retake the year's exams, both written and oral. I am happy to say she not only passed, but performed the oral exam with no mistakes!!! After the exam, her professor thanked me for having such good tutoring while we were on holiday in the States, because my daughter, she said, demonstrated thorough understanding of the concepts. Phoebe is truly a gift to math students and their parents!”
— Christine, 14 lessons with Phoebe
“If anyone needs a tutor, please consider Phoebe. She has worked great for our family. She is currently tutoring both of my daughter's. One in High School(Geometry) and the other one in her Second Year of College (Statistics). She is well educated, very professional, patient, responds quickly and has an amazing work ethic. Thank You, Phoebe!”
