Bio
Rob Nichels
I believe that Brian would be a valuable asset to any company. I met him a few years ago when he was the Director of Education at Huntington Learning Center. I had brought my daughter there for help with SAT preparation. Brian was in constant communication with our family to provide progress reports and feedback to help my daughter achieve her maximum potential. His communication skills were excellent and he was very flexible and accommodating with any scheduling needs that we had. He had a great sense of professionalism and it was clear to me that he was not simply doing his job – he genuinely cared about helping my daughter achieve success. It was also apparent to me that Brian was well-versed and knowledgeable in the area of standardized testing. He was able to clearly answer any question that I had regarding my daughter’s progress or about the world of standardized testing.

I was a tutor at a Huntington Learning Center while Brian was Director of Education. Working for the center for over a year, I became intimately familiar with Brian’s impressive work ethic—specifically his excellent communication skills as well as his outstanding time management and scheduling abilities. Brian was able to satisfy literally hundreds of families under the high pressure of getting their children the help they needed in an extremely timely fashion. He did this with an ease that was astounding. He never let anything get in the way of filling the center’s commitment to students--either help preparing for an important test or just making sure their class performance is something worth mentioning to a University Admissions Officer. Brian’s communications skills were not limited to communicating with parents—Brian was an honest and sincere communicator with young students from grade school through college. No one ever felt uncomfortable reaching out to him, no matter how large or small the request. On top of this excellent service, he did it all with a smile. It was a pleasure working with Brian and I recommend him highly with absolutely no reservation.
