Introduction: I have successfully tutored maths, physics and chemistry to 21 students at 15 different high schools and 24 students at 18 different universities including Harvard, Columbia, and Georgetown. I have a Ph.D. in chemistry and I taught chemistry and calculus at a community college and maths, physics and chemistry in high schools. Many of my students achieve excellent grades after working with me. Some examples: Georgetown University student - A in Calculus Georgetown University student - B in Physics Georgetown University student - A in Chemistry Two Columbia Univerisity students - B in Physics Two Rutgers University students - B in Organic Chemistry Rockland Community College student - A in Complex Analysis Rockland Community College student - A in Multivariable and Vector calculus Several high school students - top marks in AP Chemistry and AP Calculus One high school student was valedictorian at her high school. I helped her with calculus, chemistry and physics. All of my online students receive copies of each session's notes immediately after each lesson. My Thumbtack references are excellent based on customer reviews. I look forward to helping you as well. I enjoy seeing students master material that they thought was difficult. When necessary, I review prior material so that they are comfortable with handling new problems. My students comment on the fact that I am patient and easy to work with. When the opportunity is available, I also work ahead with them, so that when that material is covered in class, they are not seeing it for the first time.

My daughter has been working with Howard for several weeks now for a HS physics class with which she was really struggling. Howard was quick to respond to my request for information, and my daughter started working with him right away. He has been professional, patient, caring and very easy to work with. He's an excellent tutor. My daughter enjoys the sessions and has gotten a tremendous amount of help in a short time. His work with her has made a huge help in her confidence level! We plan to keep working with Howard so my daughter can stay on top of the class and get the grade she so deserves. Update: my daughter worked with Howard the entire school year as he helped her prepare for tests and eventually her final exam. Within the first month of their working together she went from struggling to understanding the concepts and doing well on homework and tests. She ended up with an A each semester and an A on the final exam! Howard was THE KEY to my daughter’s success. He was the best tutor we’ve ever worked with hands down. He was patient, insightful, encouraging and so accommodating. He truly cared about how my daughter was doing in the class. I would not only recommend Howard to anyone, I plan on using him again next school year for a math class my daughter is taking. Best. Tutor. Ever!!

Howard Siegerman recently tutored my daughter in Pre Calc. He was very thorough and patient. She is now confident about returning to class and being prepared for upcoming lessons. I highly recommend his tutoring.

Howard tutored my daughter in calculus and she said that Dr. Seigerman helped her a lot. The whiteboard he uses makes it feel like you are having an in-person tutoring session. He also has a very warm and engaging approach. I will be using Howard for both my daughters in AP Physics, Honors Chemistry and Calc. Extremely knowledgeable​ and clear that he has a lot of experience teaching.

I would like to highly recommend Dr. Howard Siegerman as a tutor of both math and chemistry. He tutored by son Tom when he was taking a difficult series of math courses in middle school and high school. With his encouragement and patience he was able to rebuild Tom's confidence. With this renewed confidence and additional practice, Tom's grades improved dramatically. Dr. Siegerman also mentored Tom in chemistry, providing real life experience to theoretical questions. Tom in now at New York University pursuing a degree in biochemistry.
