Ukana took the time to prepare assignments for me to confirm my understanding of the material, especially the material I found the most challenging. With his help,I found myself achieving grades I did not know I was capable of and improving extensively across all of my courses when implementing his study methods.

Joseph really helped me strengthen my problem solving skills for classes like biology and organic chemistry. He challenged me to really think about why an answer was correct and gave insightful tips on what professors typically test students on. He is a very knowledgeable and receptive tutor, andwith his help I was able to get As in biology and organic chemistry.

Joseph supported my daughter's academic growth through patient, step-by-step instruction and consistent practice.He effectively used modern learning platforms and adapted his teaching to her needs. I have no doubt that the foundation Joseph built can be attributed to my daughter's success in her IB curriculum.

Ukana provided tutoring services for Biochemistry I which I was able to get an A in. He came prepared with material and was able to articulate it in a way that was easy to understand. It is evident thatUkana values teaching others and is able to connect with clients on a level that makes the sessions seamless and comfortable. I would recommend Ukana to anyone.

Ukana was an excellent tutor. He was always very prepared for each tutoring session, asking questions and reviewing materials that were essential to my preparation for different exams.He was always very responsive and would answer questions off-duty as well. Additionally, he was very patient with me and would explain things as often as I needed until I understood the content.

Ukana was an incredible tutor and helped me do well in organic chemistry last semester.He was wholeheartedly committed to my success. Despite having his own major responsibilities, he went above and beyond by always being very flexible with meeting times, making practice problems for me to work on between sessions, and coming prepared to each session with a lesson plan tailored to the material taught in my specific class.
