WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

"As a teacher, mentor, and friend of mine for over three years, Nina has guided me through the challenging areas of my academic career and has taught me valuable life skills such as organization and confidence. The one to two hour sessions each week have allowed me to quickly excel in my classes and achieve high marks. In addition, Nina is very understanding with her students, which is extremely motivating to continue learning and self improving."

HANNAH, early acceptance to Stanford

"Our daughter received tutoring precisely tailored to her needs for an AP CS exam. [Carolina] was available at times that worked for her and for a very reasonable fee. We would definitely look to POP learning for any future tutoring needs, and recommend the service enthusiastically to other parents."

Parents, Cambridge, MA

“Nina helped me unlock my full potential as a student by helping me to improve my study skills as well as my test taking strategies. She guided me through many difficult courses, school exams, and AP tests with great results and I greatly appreciate her help. Nina is great with her students and is very motivating and [encourages] her students to do their best work.”

MATTHEW, accepted to Wesleyan

"As a non-traditional prospective graduate student who hadn’t taken a math, English, or writing class in 5+ years, Nina really helped me brush up on the basic skills and concepts from the ground up in time to take the GRE. She was able to pinpoint where my strengths and weaknesses were, how I studied best, then curated a study plan that worked for me. A weakness included wanting to give up often, but Nina was always very kind and encouraging!"
