Taylor is an exceptional tutor that goes the extra mile to make sure his students are prepared. An added bonus is his communication with parents. He is quick to respond and adapt as needed. In the past my son has dreaded any tutoring session, but since we found Taylor he has never complained. In his words, "Taylor is the best tutor I have ever had!" I love that he builds in review to his sessions to get his students prepared for finals. His disposition with his students is very encouraging and his ability to explain complicated material in an understandable way is amazing. My son has ADHD and Taylor's patience was appreciated and kept my son engaged.

My experience with Oahu Prep has been amazing. We work with Taylor and he truly does it all. He covers math, science, English, social studies, programming, and full SAT and ACT prep. I am someone who always researches and compares everything before choosing a service for my kids, and Oahu Prep stood out from the start. We originally hired Taylor for SAT and ACT prep, but after seeing how effective he was, I decided to purchase additional hours for all around tutoring. It was one of the best decisions I made. Overall, Oahu Prep has exceeded our expectations and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and effective tutoring support.
It's giving Batman (Taylor) training Robin (me, a girl) to best Ra's Al Ghul (Python). Taylor is very accommodating and allows me time to flesh out my thoughts to find the right answer on my own. When I'm wrong, he explains the process in a way that allows me to replicate that process better than I could on my own and better than my own professor has attempted to. In all, he's a great, patient tutor who I'd recommend because also who's available to teach you python at like 11pm in another time zone for the low?? I have maintained the A in my Advanced Python class and it's largely because of him!
Taylor's technical skills are spot on brilliant. Far beyond that though he helped my daughter in high school manage her stress. He patiently has helped her build her skills and confidence and as all parents know confidence is immeasurably valuable for a teenager. Taylor helped her ace her math class then because he helped her manage the stress so well she was able to get her other classes to all A's with the time and stress relief that she gets from her time with Taylor. Now this year he is doing it again with math and PHYSICS (what doesn't this guy know?)

Math could be a tricky subject to understand, and Taylor makes it as easy as can possibly be. He breaks it down as simple as possible, while making the context behind it interesting. I wouldn't look anywhere else if you are in need of a tutor.
Taylor is an amazing JavaScript tutor! He has a solution for everything and is really good at explaining things!
Math has always been a very unenjoyable subject for me, but with Taylor he relieves my frustrations by helping me really understand the concepts. Taylor is a wonderful tutor and is great at breaking down all types of problems and make them feel not overwhelming. I definitely recommend him.
Great tutor!
Taylor has made a huge positive impact with our child's ability to understand math. We were desperate to find help for our son. He was failing along with many in his class due to a language barrier with the instructor. We found Taylor and our son has improved comprehension with just 1 hour a week. Finishing his assignments and improvement on his test scores. Taylor's method is comfortable for the child, patient, clear and positive. We are so grateful for him.
Taylor is the best math & science tutor that we've found in Oahu! Also his prices are so reasonable. He's very thorough, engaged & patient with my teenager. My daughter's assignment grades & testing scores improved a lot. We highly recommend Taylor.
Excellent tutor! I highly recommend Taylor. My son is now getting an A in math only after a few weeks and is looking forward to his classes. Taylor is very patient has a passion for teaching. My son and I are very pleased.
I was looking for a tutor for an upcoming test and Taylor definitely was a huge help! Math is a subject I struggle with a lot but with Taylor's help I've actually understood topics I've had trouble with. He is very knowledgeable and is willing to go the extra mile to help you prepare for any math exam.
Flexible on schedule, will help you with math, shares good tips to help when struggling and makes sure you're prepared to learn new material.
In-person session at a coffee shop
I have had many tutors before and each one has always left me either feeling like I just wasted my time and money, second guessing myself, or wondering how my questions lead to a half hour rant without actually answering any of my questions. Luckily I gave tutoring one more shot and found Taylor, who is by far one of the most professional tutors I've had and keeps me accountable to stay on track and keep learning in a well structured session. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
Such a nice and approachable tutor! Taylor helped me walk through some computer science problems for my interviews. I was attempting some very frustrating LeetCode problems and he seemed like a pro compared to me! He still took his time to walk through each problem and make sure that I understood the content. He also showed me tricks to improve on my own in the future!
CS tutoring session at the library
Getting a tutor from Oahu Prep saved my grade in Calculus 3. They were able to clearly understand and explain the problems I was having with the material, as well as give effective strategies and insights to help my long term success in the class.
Great tutor, a gem. Very helpful with my son's algebra 2 class....explains concepts very well and makes it fun to learn.
