Student Feedback for Ken

"Excellent ACT Tutor"

- Linda from Mount Prospect, IL

My high school junior took a practice ACT exam in her sophomore year and her score was 17. She was so nervous she became incapable of comprehending the questions so she resorted to 'just filling in random answers.' She had always feared math and did poorly in all types of exams.

After reading the various Tutor's bios available on Wyzant, and asking some questions, we decided to work with Ken based on his teaching experience and availability. We scheduled a total of 14 hours of tutoring during the course of a month.

We met at the local library to keep distractions down to a minimum.

At the first session, Ken and my daughter established a comfortable teacher/student relationship where Ken somehow was able to see when my daughter comprehended something or not and would provide easily understood explanations of math concepts and reading tips. My daughter found it easy to ask Ken questions without feeling 'dumb' and after EVERY tutoring session her confidence grew.

Ken was always on time; came with prepared materials and lesson plans; knew exactly what to say to encourage and has transformed a student who had a math phobia into a confident, significantly less stressed student who is no longer dreading the ACT. My daughter is a TOTALLY DIFFERENT STUDENT because of Ken's ability to tutor in a non-judgmental, easy-mannered, non-threatening, highly approachable teaching style.

My daughter won't be taking the ACT until next spring but having recently started the new school year, she has surprised her math teacher by participating in class and answering questions. Ironically, it is the same math teacher from last year who graded my daughter with a 'D', both semesters. We're excited to see how she does this fall and of course, when she takes the ACT.

Most likely we'll arrange to work with Ken prior to the ACT for a refresher session.
Thank you Ken! You exceeded our hopes and expectations!

"Very Patient"

- Toyin from Des Plaines, IL

Ken is a great tutor. My children have improved their grades within a very short time that he tutors them. He is also flexible and on time.

"Great Tutor! Very Personable. "

- Alex from Glenview, IL

Great 1st Session. Ken is very personable and knowledgeable in the subjects covered. He has actually taught from the books that my son is using high school, so he knows the lessons very well. He was able get my son engaged in the lesson and to ask questions. We are looking forward to more lessons. Thanks.

"An Experienced Tutor With A Lot of Patience"

- Vernon from Park Ridge, IL

Ken has been teaching 5th grade Math to my son for the past four months. He started with the basics and quickly progressed to the current year's curriculum. It is apparent that Ken enjoys teaching kids and has a bag of tricks to keep them motivated and focused. My son looks forward to the classes and is now able to solve his homework problems on his own. We are extremely happy to have selected Ken and wholeheartedly recommend him.

"Well prepared!"

- Jill from Park Ridge, IL

Ken has been a great help to my daughter, both in Chemistry and an Intro to Physics. He is very well prepared and good at explaining concepts.
