Weve had a very positive experience so far. The tutor is patient, attentive, and quickly picks up on areas where improvement is needed. Each session is focused and productive, and its clear they genuinely care about helping students succeed.What really stands out is how much our child looks forward to the weekly sessionseven though math hasnt usually been a favorite subject. Confidence has noticeably improved, especially with multiplication and other classroom work.Were very happy with the progress and plan to continue, possibly even adding more sessions in the future. Highly recommended!

Eric has been tutoring my daughter for a few months now in Pre-Calc. She was swamped with AP and Honors classwork and afternoon school groups and started getting behind and losing confidence in math. He helped her get back on track and gain her confidence again. He was easy to communicate with, for me initially and with her for scheduling. Her needs are shifting due to COVID and SAT prep and Eric shifted his skills to that with her. Here is what she said when asked for input on a review: Very patient and sees every problem through. Gives great explanations and background to all problems.

Eric was very helpful in helping me prepare for the Math portion of the GRE. I hadn't taken a math class in at least 10 years and Eric was very patient and helpful in refreshing my skills. He was adept at walking me through all the different types of problems required. He also provided resources and tools to help me practice on my own in between sessions. I would definitely recommend Eric as a tutor for math students of all levels.

Eric was really helpful when it came to brushing up on important key math skills that I had been struggling with in my college level class. I was very impressed that he was able to offer advice on note taking skills that have helped me study more efficiently and prepare better for lectures. Highly recommend!

Couldn't hope for a better tutor than Eric for my son for Algebra II. My son went from failing and hating the subject to passing and liking it in a couple of weeks. My son is the type of pretty smart student who loses his ability to figure things out after he gets too frustrated. Eric helped him make the shift back from being frustrated to feeling confident for algebra II.
