Shawn helped me prepare for the math portion of the GRE - I got in almost everywhere I applied for graduate school and I'm now off to start a Master's program at the University of Denver thanks to Shawn's help! Shawn was super flexible and easy to work with. I'd definitely recommend Shawn's tutoring for anyone struggling with math or in need of a high school refresh.

Shawn was recommended to us from an older parent and helped both my kids successfully navigate Geometry at Pembroke Hill High School. He has an easy way of connecting to his students so that they look forward to their time with him. Always cheerful and effective, I’ve recommended Shawn to many other families.

We reached out to Award Tutoring after our daughter’s physics grade dropped to an 83% in the second quarter. The material was getting more difficult and she was struggling. Shawn turned that all around. With his help our daughter received an A+ for the next 2 quarters and passed the course with an A. Thank you, Shawn, for helping our daughter to understand and enjoy Physics and pass successfully.

5+ star review!! I cannot say enough great things about Shawn! He tutored all three of our kids in high school Calculus 1, 2 and 3, plus Differential Equations. He even helped with Chemistry and Physics. All three of my very different kids excelled with Shawn’s help. Shawn was a delightful instructor, extremely knowledgeable and wonderfully talented. He was flexible with his schedule and was accommodating for questions as needed. He is an amazing human and gifted instructor!! I highly recommended Shawn!

Shawn was my favorite tutor throughout high school. He was extremely flexible with my crazy and irregular soccer schedule, which was so helpful. He helped me understand material in a new way, which was more conductive to my learning style. I would not have gotten the grades in Honors Algebra 2 or Physics without his help.

Shawn worked with my daughter over the summer. She was taking an online high school Geometry class. What was going to be a stress-filled summer turned out to be a great experience….thanks to Shawn. He was easy to work with and kept my daughter on pace to receive her credit. She said she learned more from Shawn over her summer sessions than a full year of regular high school Geometry.

Shawn made the difference for my son Max when he was taking Pre-Calculus. He explained it in a way that was easy to understand. Max said, “Shawn is a chill dude and makes learning fun.”

Shawn was an asset to my son in high school as well as my son in college. He was able to breakdown the material and simplify it so they could apply knowledge at both the high school and college level. Shawn was flexible in scheduling which was invaluable.

Shawn tutored me for a year my senior year in high school when I was taking Calculus BC. He always came prepared and was helpful with every tutoring session. I am studying Electrical Engineering at Iowa State now and my first two calculus classes went very easily because of the strong foundation Shawn helped me build in high school. I would highly recommend Shawn as a tutor!

Shawn definitely helped me when I needed it. Last semester when I was struggling in calculus, he did everything he could so I wouldn’t be so stressed. Even when I wasn’t at tutoring and I had a question about an assignment, I was able to text him a picture and he would respond that day. Shawn is so easy to talk to and very approachable which helped so much because I wasn’t afraid to ask questions. I definitely recommend him as a tutor for anyone.

Shawn is like actually the best. He’s super nice and friendly and I don’t feel intimidated or stupid like I have with other tutors. He makes sure you understand everything and always answers my texts when I don’t understand problems after. You can tell he genuinely cares about your success and wants to be there for you. I would definitely recommend him and I have to many of my friends. He’s helped me throughout all of my high school math classes and thank god, because I seriously needed help. If you need a tutor, Shawn is the best. 10/10."

Shawn has helped me off and on for almost 3 years. He’s able to explain even the hardest material in a simple and concise way. Not only is he very effective but he’s been able to help me with math, physics and some ACT sections. Shawn’s a tutor that will make a difference.

Shawn is a class act! He was great with communication, including between sessions and suggestions for improvement. We had tried three previous tutors with little success and were so pleased with Shawn! Our son respected him, wanted to work for him, and felt genuinely cared about. We highly recommend Shawn.

Our son was very ill and missed many days of school. Shawn caught him up in just a few sessions. The next year, in high school, he just wasn't understanding the material and Shawn pulled him through in short time. Our son said Shawn explains things so much clearer and to the point. Our son is now an honors junior loving engineering, physics and math. Thanks Shawn!!!
