My teaching style emphasizes comprehension and critical thinking over rote learning. Through techniques including active recall, spaced repetition, active learning, and the Feynman technique, I help my students become self-educators.

"When I first took the ACT I left the room feeling distraught and overwhelmed knowing the amount of information I would need to learn to get the score I was looking for. With Zack’s comprehensive yet simple system, I was able to fill in material that I had not learned as well as sharpen my skills as a test taker. I improved from a 28 to a 36 superscore with Zack’s help. Zack also found a way to bring life to the ACT, as no tutoring session was ever boring. Zack has my highest recommendation, and if you want a great ACT score sign up with him now!"

Dover-Sherborn High School Junior (36 ACT)
"For the past few months, Zack has helped me in every subject, from AP Biology and Calculus to college essays and ACT prep. His help has allowed me to excel in every subject he has helped me with, get a 35 on the ACT, and I can say for certain I would not be attending Harvard next year without his help. Aside from his academic help, Zack, to me, is more of a friend than a tutor, and I am extremely grateful for his help in all facets of my life. Aside from a great tutor, Zack is a great person who cares deeply about his students' success inside and outside the classroom."

Nobles School Senior and Harvard Student (35 ACT)
"I worked with Zack to become better at taking the ACT and ending up scoring a 35! Although I usually perform well on tests in school, in the past I have struggled with the whole idea of how to take and study for standardized tests. Zack not only helped me understand concepts that I was not familiar with but helped me form a successful approach to taking the test. In addition to this, he was always cooperative and easy to work with because of his outgoing nature and similar experiences as a student. For any students focusing on the ACT, or any class with large tests, I would highly recommend Zack as a tutor, as my experience was nothing but positive."

"Zack has been my tutor for a while now, and the experience has been wonderful. Zack is an extraordinary teacher in one-on-one environments and without him, I honestly don't know where I would’ve been in Chemistry. He also helped me study for tests, organizing essays, and even with life problems! This year, Zack helped me move up from a mid-20 composite to a 34 on the ACT! He is extremely organized, will never lose anything you give him, and always shows up on time. Overall, Zack is the best tutor I have ever had."

Dover-Sherborn High School Sophomore-Senior (ACT 34)
"I'm glad that we had Zack as the first teacher for our kids who introduced music and taught guitar to both of our kids. The kids loved him and loved learning guitar from him. Zack is very sincere and takes the time to understand their interests. He tailors the lesson according to their interests. My kids learned so much in such a short time from him. We are looking forward to working with him in the future."
Dover-Sherborn Middle School Parent
"Zack does an outstanding job tutoring my daughter in Honors Algebra II and Honors Biology and Chemistry. He is knowledgeable with a great personality. He presents difficult concepts in an organized way and connects topics to real-life situations. She thinks the sessions are "interesting and extremely helpful." Most importantly, he motivates her to want to learn more about the subjects. He has helped her achieve near-perfect test scores, and she looks forward to continuing the tutoring sessions in the future. My daughter finished with an A+ in both her math and combined chemistry/biology course!"

Rivers School Parent
"For the past few months, Zack has been tutoring me in AP Chemistry, and I probably would've dropped the course by now if it wasn't for him. His explanations are clear, and help me to visualize and comprehend some pretty challenging topics. He truly values his students' time, and always asks how he can make the most of it. What has meant the most to me personally, though, is the way that he encourages me to be resilient and to push through AP courses, despite the increased academic pressure and self-doubt that accompany the last two years of high school. Zack never lets his students back down from a challenge, or write themselves off as not smart enough. Because of Zack, my self-confidence in the classroom has improved dramatically!"

Dover-Sherborn High School Junior
"Zack was my tutor for AP Chemistry for the first semester of my Junior year. He began to work with me during the summer to help me out with summer work as well as to develop study habits and tips for the challenging course I was about to take. Zack was extremely knowledgeable in chemistry, for he had had firsthand experience with the same teacher and course only a few years ago. He was able to help me tremendously with getting a better foundation of the material as well as working on specific problems and concepts I had difficulty with. Zack was easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable and excited about learning a rather challenging course. I'm grateful I got him as a tutor, for not only did the tutoring help me for the 1st semester, I know that everything I learned will carry on into my next semester and year of school."

Dover-Sherborn High School Junior
"Zack tutored me for Physics and PreCalculus once a week for a semester and I noticed my understanding in both classes greatly improved. Zack was super helpful, providing fun examples and explanations for problems that I didn't understand. He made a fun and easy-going learning environment for me. I would highly suggest Zack if you are having trouble in any of your classes because he is very helpful and fun to work with!"
​
​Dover-Sherborn High School Junior
"Zack Abrams definitely helped improve my chemistry grade. He was always focused and made learning fun with his real-life analogies. Zack never bailed on a session and always showed up on time! He would always answer questions I had and help me complete my homework."
