My son needed some help with his cognitive science classes at UCSD and Alan went above and beyond. Â He was able to help my son navigate through the UCSD system, provided flexible appointment scheduling and excellent follow-up with both my son and myself. Â Since I'm not in the area, it was a big relief to know Alan was there and it was apparent that he really cared and wanted to help my son get through his classes. Â I highly recommend Alan! More...

I would like to start by saying thank you Alan for all the help you have provided me over the past year. Alan’s exceptional academic coaching has helped me improve my math grades and improve my approach to the academic world. With Alan’s mentorship and services he has helped me get into schools like the University of Southern California, UC Berkeley, and UC San Diego. Alan developed a customized academic and mentoring plan that was tailored specifically to me which really helped me understand the material more clearly. Not only has Alan helped me academically, but he has also helped me with providing great life advice every time I saw him, advice that has helped me expand my thinking and progress as an adult. VI highly recommend Dow Educational Solutions for any of your educational needs and to achieve and ensure academic success. More...

Alan was a fantastic advisor, mentor and friend to my son Dane, helping him to excel in High School and ultimately find his way into Purdue University and succeed. I am happy to speak to individuals as a reference on Alan's behalf. Ask Alan for my number. More...

After getting rejected from my dream college in high school, I found mentorship from Steven Dow to re-apply as a transfer student. With his help, I turned my entire application around and was accepted to the University of Southern California. Though we only worked together for a few months, his encouragement helped me feel confident in my achievements and abilities. Steven's experience, knowledge, and professionalism was beyond valuable in the college application process. In addition, I feel that he is truly passionate and dedicated to helping me succeed in all aspects of my educational career, far beyond the application itself. I would highly recommend Dow Educational Solutions to all future college applicants. Fight On! More...

I've been going to Steven Dow for all my educational needs for years now. We first started working together while I was an undergrad Biology major in college, and now I am in an MBA Graduate Program thanks to his help!
Steven not only helped me with tutoring in many science subjects, but he also mentored me through big life decisions. He guided me by helping me narrow down my career interests, and shared his own real life experiences for me to learn from.
Steven helped me with internship searches, job searches, applications, resume building, cover letter writing, assembling letters of recommendation, and most recently with the GMAT standardized test so I could get my Masters in Business Administration. Every time I hit a roadblock in life, whether in school, my professional life or my personal life, Steven has always been there to listen to me, teach me, and encourage me to do my best.
Not only is he the best tutor, mentor, therapist, or you name it -- he will always be your friend.

My daughter recently studied with Dow Educational Solutions in preparation for the ACT. Steven helped her to effectively manage her time while taking the test and reviewed key areas covered on the test including teaching her math concepts she had not yet learned in school. He was punctual, professional, and thorough. Upon completing several sessions she successfully took the ACT and reached her set goal on the first try. I highly recommend Dow Educational Solutions for any student wanting to up his/her test scores. More...
