About Us

Stone Hall Tutors was founded by Matt Plonsker, who earned his B.A from the University of Michigan and his MBA from UCLA’S Anderson school of management. After working with hundreds of students at several of the nation’s premier test prep agencies, he decided to develop his own curriculum, sourcing the best tips and tricks he picked up along the way.

Stone Hall prides itself on creating individualized learning plans for each and every student. Because if one thing has become apparent in contemporary education psychology, it’s that everyone learns differently!

All of our instructors have graduated from top Universities and earned in the 99th percentile on the tests they tutor, but even more importantly they’re fun! We’re hyper aware of how dense the material can be, so we made sure to find teachers that were as engaging as they were capable. Make sure to tell us what kind of a personality your student responds to best, so we can match them with the right instructor!
