H NelsonH Nelson ★★★★★ As a parent of a child who worked with the staff at Stone Hall Tutors, I've been impressed with the progress our daughter has made since her tutoring sessions began. To date, she's improved her ACT score by 4 points and we'll not be surprised if her most recent test reports show even more improvement! The staff has been flexible when needing to schedule or reschedule appointments, and we always receive written feedback from Stone Hall Tutors after each session. The package prices for this service are WELL worth the investment, especially as I've compared the scholarship offerings from our daughter's original ACT score to those of her most recent score. We're looking forward to working with Matt and his team again when our youngest child needs ACT/SAT preparation. Thank you Stone Hall Tutors!Response from the ownerHerman, can't thank you enough for the kind words. Hannah was awesome, and I'm so thrilled her score came up like it did.

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!
