Excellent5.0★★★★★ Based on 105 reviews from review us onRuby AlbertRuby Albert ★★★★★ Response from the ownerThanks, Ruby! Gary WeinhouseGary Weinhouse ★★★★★ Matt is an OUTSTANDING tutor for the SAT and was a huge help and great resource in helping our son achieve a perfect 800 score on the Math section of the SAT and an astounding 1560 overall! Our son found Matt to be knowledgable, inspirational, patient and kind. He was easy to work with and motivated our son to work hard and focus his time and energy on what mattered. He was great to work with as the parents and we cannot recommend him more highly. True 5-star experience.Response from the ownerGary! Really appreciate the note. As I’ve mentioned many times now, Connor was already good at this when I met him 🙂 the kid deserves a lot of the credit. Pleasure working with your fam! Gil BGil B ★★★★★ I did around 5 months of Matt’s course (usually 3 or 4 times a month) and loved every second of it. Matt’s consistently positive attitude made the experience much more enjoyable than what I thought the process would be like when I was trying to improve my test scores. Also, I knew that every time I went, I would improve more and more. Matt knows pretty much knew exactly how to help me and showed that he had a ton of valuable experience with tutoring people for the standardized scores. I ended up doing the SAT, and my score went up about 400 points. I don’t regret taking the course one bit.Response from the ownerDude, THANK YOU. So excited that you're going to get to play college tennis. Let me know where you end up 🙂 Ayden SantanaAyden Santana ★★★★★ Matt is a great tutor who truly cares about his students. He made the SAT prep process enjoyable, and was available at any time of day to work. Within the first 2 sessions, my math score made a 60 point jump. He showed genuine care and compassion for me, and was very encouraging along the way. I would highly recommend Matt to anybody who is looking for a tutor.Response from the ownerYou put in a TON of great work, Ayden. Let me know how the applications work out, brother. Rohan YadavalliRohan Yadavalli ★★★★★ Being able to be tutored by Matt was an overall great experience. It was refreshing to see someone make learning enjoyable, and even though it was the SAT I still was excited to learn! I felt really confident for the December SAT and it was all thanks to Matt!Response from the ownerThank you, Rohan! Have a great rest of the soccer season. Great working with you. Suzy RichSuzy Rich ★★★★★ Matt is great! My sons both had a great experience working with him. He relates well with his students, and pushes them just enough to get the best results possible. Don't look any further - Matts your guy!Response from the ownerBoth your boys are awesome. It was great getting to work with your fam twice. Please, let me know how the final test went for Jesse when we get scores back! Christian GorgyChristian Gorgy ★★★★★ Matt Plonsker was an outstanding tutor who knew both how to connect with a teenager like myself and knew how to teach in a way that would allow me to understand content better. He knew what it was like to be a teenager going through this process and on example problems I was struggling with, he took the time to wait for me until I got it right rather than blurting out the answer. He used his own explanations which were more helpful and he used examples in my life to explain the concepts. Matt made sure to always reach out and check up on me. He gave me his phone number and was willing to chat about test scores and activities outside of our meeting times. Matt is a dedicated tutor who pushed me to keep going for more. He recommended me to use some outside resources that would help. For example, he recommended a great vocabulary website that was helpful to the vocabulary words I saw on the SAT. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone studying for the SAT no matter where they are as Matt is flexible with different people. His zoom meetings are well organized with a lesson plan and a whiteboard where he can show me how to answer problems. Matt has been a great help to my success and I am very grateful for him.Response from the ownerDude, this is so, so kind! Great working with you, Chris 🙂 Sophie RickmanSophie Rickman ★★★★★ Matt really helped me understand and get better with the questions on the SAT. Not only that, but he kept me motivated throughout the entire process. I owe so much of my success to him, highly recommend!!Response from the ownerThanks, Soph!

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!
