Introduction: Cohen Math Prep is a tutoring service started by a teacher and tutor. I know that it is as important to know the skill/craft that you are teaching as to know the skill/craft of teaching itself. All of my tutors and I have a passion for the subjects we teach. Many of the big tutoring companies hire tutors based on their graduating from prestigious universities or high test scores with little to no concern over their ability or passion to teach. A potential tutor's facility in a subject has very little effect on a student if he/she cannot communicate with and understand that student. I absolutely love when my students have a breakthrough. There is no greater feeling in my job than the one I get when I see a student finally understand a concept or master a skill that had been previously a great source of frustration. Good test scores and good grades are always nice to see, but knowing that my students know is more of a reward for me.

Rob is amazing to work with. He has been working with my daughter for 4 years now. When he first started working with her she was doing terrible in math. Within the first year, she was quickly getting As on her tests and scored above a 4.0 on her state math tests three years in a row. It's not just that Rob taught her how to do the math, but through his encouragement, her "I can't do it" attitude was changed to a "can do" attitude. I have recommended Rob to countless other people and everyone reports back the same experience. Rather than pay the absurd prices that the SHSAT vendors charge to prepare for this test, I will have her work with Rob and be sure to report back next year on the results!

Rob has been our son's math tutor for 2 years now for his 6th and 7th grade years in school. Rob is kind, patient, funny and super smart. He has a great way with children and makes learning both easy and interesting. He is the reason our son has done as well as he has these last 2 years. He explains things so clearly and effortlessly. He pushes our son when he needs to and our son totally responds. He knows his strengths and weaknesses and tailors his sessions around that. We wouldn't have survived the middle school years without his help!

Rob Cohen tutored my 6th grader when he transitioned to a new citywide gifted and talented school that had an accelerated math program with a very challenging teacher. Rob came to our home weekly to work with my son over an academic year. He helped keep my son on track and ahead of the coursework. My son really enjoyed working with Rob who has a great personality, was very supportive and made math fun. Rob was always punctual and was always easily accessible by email and phone. He also worked with my 5th grader this year to prepare for the ELA exam. I have recommended Rob to many friends without hesitation. He is terrific.

I can't recommend Rob highly enough. He is the most patient, intelligent, knowledgeable, pleasant, prompt, engaging, interesting tutor we have ever worked with. After he got my artistic, creative, not at all interested in math daughter through difficult HS algebra and music theory classes with flying colors, I wanted her to take another math class just so we could keep working with him! (She declined.) Rob also found us an amazing HS English tutor for my son, who is perfect in every way as well, and second only to Rob in my opinion!

Rob is patient, flexible, kind, and always a pleasure for my son to work with. He is knows all of the material, and can explain the process in many ways to be sure its understood. Most importantly, Rob makes it enjoyable to learn. I highly recommend him for any tutoring and test prep!
