With graduate school applications, the stakes are high, significant amounts of work are required, and the competition is fierce. Professional guidance in this demanding endeavor can be invaluable, shedding light on subtle areas of your application dossier that could use refinement and offering insight into the murky intricacies of graduate department selection processes. To this end, I highly recommend Steve Markofsky of Merv Academic. His knowledge, experience, and professionalism have been evident throughout our work together. By helping me refine my Statement of Purpose, perhaps the most vital component to a successful application dossier, we have maximized my chances of being accepted to a highly competitive, top-tier Ph.D. program. Thanks Steve!

Steve helped me prepare for the quantitative section of the GMAT. He was extremely knowledgeable and got in touch before our meeting time to discuss content to ensure our time was used efficiently. He explained hard-to-grasp concepts in a way that made great sense and didn't mind repeating himself when he saw my facial expression say, "huh?" Will definitely be coming back to Steve for future needs. :)

I have found Steve on Wyzant and I have to say I totally lucked out. He is so knowledgeable, patient and kind. He also went out of his way to analyze all the strengths and weaknesses of my son to prepare him (in a very short time) for the ISEE test. My son loved to work with Steve, and even with my son’s attention problem, he was totally immersed and engaged in the lessons. For me the preparation for the test is not only about the outcome, but also about learning valuable skills of discipline and perseverance. Steve’s way of explaining math problems was clear and engaging, and he helped my son perceiving the learning process as something fun and rewarding. (Bingo!) Steve helped my son in many ways, but also served as a role model and mentor. Thank You Steve, I would recommend you to anybody who needs a great tutor
