Richard C.

3 Philosophy lessons

Dave's philosophy that the student has to take ownership of their education and buy in to the tutoring is right on the money. From a practical point of view, Dave responded promptly to our initial inquiry, has been generous with his time getting us comfortable with his background and why he felt he could help in our situation, and has been punctual for scheduled lessons.
Alex Q.

32 Philosophy lessons

Archie is steadfast in his philosophy and his performance is the most consistent I have experienced and I have worked with numerous tutors over the years. Furthermore, whenever I am scheduling meeting times with Archie he makes me feel as though I am his priority and that he is dedicated to do what is necessary for me to get past my troubles with math works with me until we have reached our goal for the day.
Amanda A.

6 Philosophy lessons

I left each tutoring session feeling confident and more prepared for my final. William didn't just explain the material, he would challenge me to think about the topics critically for very deep understanding. Philosophy is hard. Let's just say it. The only way to get it is to work at it. I am so glad that I got William as a tutor. Not only did I get the Cum Laude, but I also finished the class with an A.
