"Joel has done such a wonderful job working with our kids. Even though the pandemic forced us to work remotely, he quickly developed a wonderful relationship with our then-2nd grader and kindergartener. He gave both a leg up in their schoolwork and more confidence, especially with math and reading. When they resisted work or just were not feeling another Zoom session, he quickly adapted and found ways to keep their interest. Above all, he is a pleasure to work with and has a great attitude - a true lifeline during difficult times!"
"I cannot recommend Dr. Joel Wallace more highly. He helped my partner's daughter prepare for the SAT's, specifically the math portion. Not only did her score increase by several hundred points, she was motivated to try and increase her English score as well. She shared that Dr. Joel was patient, motivating, very clear, and best of all, really enjoyable. I highly recommend Dr. Joel for all your tutoring needs."
“Joel was a fantastic tutor. Even though we live hundreds of miles from one another, my son was able to regularly connect with him via Zoom and successfully prepare for his SAT exam as though they were in the same room. He helped my son develop confidence in his abilities and closed some gaps that my son had in his learning. Joel was prepared, punctual, and effective. I would highly recommend connecting with him if you have a high school student in need of standardized test preparation.”
"Joel did such an amazing job working with our daughter. Despite meeting him remotely, she quickly developed a wonderful relationship with Joel. He found ways to keep sessions lively, and she looked forward to meeting with him. I was surprised to often hear her laughing during her sessions discussing advanced topics in AP BIology. Working with Joel gave her the boost she needed to succeed in AP Biology. His ability to connect with our daughter, despite meeting remotely, was sensational. She felt comfortable asking him questions and she appreciated all the extra insight he provided on the topics she didn't understand. Working with Joel really allowed our daughter to improve her confidence and her performance. He is a gem!"
"Dr. Joel Wallace is an outstanding mentor and human. Joel knows all the in's and out's of the SAT, and his advice was incredibly valuable in preparing for the exam. Through my time with him preparing for the dreaded SAT, he made it genuinely enjoyable to learn and practice. Joel was always approachable and flexible, shaping his teaching methods to best fit my schedule and learning style. He broke down each question with me and spent the necessary time to help me understand. He motivated and encouraged me to perform my best yet set measurable and achievable goals to work toward. Joel helped me score far beyond my expectations, ultimately helping me in my college application process and the scholarships awarded to me! Much more than just a coach, Joel has become a mentor. I have had many amazing teachers and instructors throughout my life--I challenge you to find a more enjoyable and brilliant person to work with!"
