Premier Aptitude

I cannot say enough amazing things about Premier Aptitude. My son has tried every tutoring center in Flushing and ran away from them all until this one. With Mr. Paung, a retired physicist, and his son Calvin (Dr. Paung), everything changed. For the first time, my son actually asks to go to tutoring. It’s been two years and counting, and the results speak for themselves: his grades are now solid A’s, and his work ethic and confidence have improved tremendously. He attends during the school year, on weekends, and even every summer—because they keep lessons engaging, motivating, and genuinely interesting. My daughter’s experience was just as impressive. She previously took SAT prep with Princeton Review and saw no improvement. Under Mr. Paung and Calvin’s guidance, her scores and academic confidence improved significantly. Calvin also went above and beyond by helping with college advising, counseling, and essay support. Thanks to his mentorship, my daughter was accepted to Northeastern University and is now on a transfer path to Cornell. You truly could not ask for better educators, mentors, or role models for your children. Premier Aptitude has made a lasting impact on our family, and we are forever grateful.

Premier Aptitude is a fantastic place if you are looking for a place to both learn and enjoy the process of learning. Calvin makes the classes both engaging and exciting with his energy and small jokes. Furthermore, if your kid even gets a little hungry, there are always snacks to eat. For Calvin's teaching style, he likes to gauge your initial level and moves on from there. He's similar to a guide, letting you think for yourself while helping you stay on track. Additionally, rather than feeling a like teacher who is only there to teach you, Calvin treats us more like a friend. A friend who'll help you even after you stop going to the program. Personally, if I hadn't gone to this program and met Calvin, I wouldn't be where I am today. I high recommend this program/tutor if you are looking to have your child not suffer while learning.

I loved doing SAT prep at Premier! The small class size made it easier to get personalized help. Calvin made class very engaging with his energy and small jokes. He also provided snacks and food for us! Additionally, he connects us with different professionals, internships, and even reviews papers and emails related to our future career interests. He genuinely cares about his students and wants us to succeed in life. I greatly appreciate the advice he has given us. I highly recommend!!

I visited Premier Aptitude multiple times and each time I've gone, the tutoring and support has been phenomenal. THANK YOU!! Premier Aptitude is filled with patient and understanding teachers, Calvin personally read and helped me rewrite my essay. He wrote why the changes were made and acknowledged what I was going for without deleting the whole meaning of it. All of the teachers closely focus on each student, ensuring that they understand the material.

Calvin is the most sincere tutor you will ever find. He really cares about his students and encourages them to do their best. We look for him even beyond Test prep since a few years now. Highly recommend! Sign up for his classes as soon as he becomes available in New York City.
