We just received our daughter’s scores on the SSATs. She did wonderfully – 92% overall. Thank you for all of your work with her. She knows that it has made a big difference in her scores, and we believe that to be true as well.
by L.H.
Wow! 11 point increase in MAP math when starting at 99%! That is fabulous. I am so thrilled with how you worked and taught Ella this year. We can’t thank you enough. You helped Ella to get a high enough score on her ACT to make it into the CTY advanced math program too. It’s been the easiest year for us family having you as her math tutor.
by Parents of A.M.
From English papers to college apps and even the occasional STEM help, I cannot thank you enough. I’ve come across my fair share of teachers – the good, the bad, and the okay. You, however, have left the greatest impact on me. You are one of the amazing ones and have continued to inspire me and a lot of my friends, even though we don’t make it too easy for you at times. You were undeniably hard on me at times, but I appreciate it so much now because you have pushed me to become a much better writer. I really credit everything I’ve accomplished and my self-confidence to you. I really don’t know where I’d be without you. You are so much more than just a tutor. I will take your lessons with me wherever I go. Thank you for always believing in me – you showed me how capable I am.

Tokyo Academics has been a small miracle in our lives and I am truly grateful. Our tutor made a real connection with our son, who responded very well to the tutor’s easy going personality. Our son made excellent progress in all subjects. I highly recommend Tokyo Academics to any family looking for an incredible reliable, diligent, and qualified tutor.
by H.W.
Our tutor was great at teaching because my daughter said that his method was very efficient for her. She used to take SSAT course at Kaplan Tokyo, but nothing can be compared to his method. That was her honest comment. Personally, I was very impressed by Tokyo Academics’ staff’s punctuality and serious attitude and also the teaching technique. I wish you all the best for your future success in this field.
