"We were wavering between SSAT prep classes and a private tutor, but once we met Kevin and saw how he interacted with and motivated our 7th grade daughter through constant positive assessments and his relaxed yet (covertly) disciplined style, it was clear the one-on-one approach would be more beneficial. His materials are up-to-date and specific, his personalized advice on interviewing and test taking was spot-on and he was always accessible. We would highly recommend Kevin to anyone with a child preparing for the SSAT."   - Miki Yamashiro (daughter was accepted at Punahou, Iolani and Mid-Pacific)

"I just wanted to let you know that Justis and Gabriel both got acceptance letters today from Punahou! We feel strongly that you were a huge part of their success and we really want to thank you again for all of your help and hard work with the boys. I will unhesitatingly recommend you to anyone looking for a tutor."   - Jocelyn Snowdon

"My daughter Savannah started tutoring with Kevin last January. Aside from how well she ended up scoring on her SSAT, her confidence blossomed as well as her math grades in school. Savannah worked with Kevin once a week along with a friend, and not once out of the entire year did either of them complain about going to tutoring. Kevin has this way of making them feel good about themselves, and he also has a talent for making it fun for them. Kevin is truly an example of someone who is very good at what he does. I am so grateful we had the opportunity to work with him."   - Terri Cordell (daughter was accepted at Punahou and Mid-Pacific)

"Kevin really helped Devon prepare for the SSAT, interview and essay. My son is in the seventh grade at Punahou. Kevin is now working with my fourth-grade daughter, Christina, to improve her math, reading and verbal skills for next Fall's SSAT."   - Stephanie Lee 

"I will tell you that I had Haley's parent/teacher conference on Monday and she had a shining review from her teacher. She took a standardized test a few weeks back and the teacher was amazed at how much she improved her scores from last year's test. I have to say that is thanks to you."   - Jessica Crabtree (daughter was accepted at Punahou and Mid-Pacific)    

"We were referred to Kevin by my sister whose son had a successful tutoring experience that got him into Iolani. Kevin has been working with our son for several months. We're really impressed with the progress our son has made towards the school of his choice. We feel Kevin's tutoring style is the right fit for our son."   - Max Tanaka

"Joshua did get into Punahou. He's very excited. I think we will take a break as things are getting crazy and all but I would like you to work with our younger son at some point."   - Wendy Shewalter

"Kevin has been a tutor for my son since the seventh grade. Daniel did very well on the SSAT and had an opportunity to attend Punahou. Kevin is still a tutor for my son who is a sophomore now and who will be taking the SAT (and SAT-2 math subject test) soon."   - Peter Perera

"Thank you so much for getting Taylor ready for the SSAT and the Kamehameha Schools entrance exam. You must hear this all the time; as parents, we just want the best for our children. I hope my children realize how important this is."   - Lita Ursulum

"Called to tell you about the good news. Cole got into all three schools (Punahou, Iolani and Mid-Pacific)! We're about to tell him right now."   - Tim Cabrera 

"I just wanted you to know Makana got accepted to Punahou and Iolani for seventh grade. He chose Punahou. I gave your number to a friend whose daughter will be applying for private school in the Fall."   - Michael Tave

"Yes, we're so happy (with our son's high SSAT scores). And he was really upset because he thought he bombed. He said it was the worst one..."   - Jill Walder (son was accepted at Punahou and Mid-Pacific)
