Student Feedback for Rebecca

"Excellent Teacher"

- Kathy from Mountain View, CA

Rebecca is an excellent teacher and we are fortunate to have discovered her through WyzAnt. After two problematic years in junior high school math our 13 yr old son needed assistance with algebra I. Rebecca took the time to research our son's math background, the books used at his junior high school, and developed a very comprehensive plan for this summer's tutelage. Rebecca has a pleasant, direct teaching style; she communicates beautifully, finding the fine balance between professional teacher and gentle voiced, encouraging coach. Our son no longer feels frustrated and feels a sense of pride when he completes his homework efficiently and correctly.

"Great Tutor"

- Renata from Palo Alto, CA

Rebecca is very experienced with different types of math. She will help thoroughly explain concepts, and show you step by step how a problem is done. She is patient and kind. After my daughter had a few lessons with her, she has shown improvement in her math homework and tests. She got 100% on her math final, hooray.

"Great tutor."

- Maryam from Cupertino, CA

Rebecca is a wonderful tutor. My daughter was so happy to have a chance to go through all of her review sheets with Rebecca. It really helped her and she got much higher grade after tutoring.

"More Than Expected"

- Janet from Palo Alto, CA

Rebecca is an incredible tutor/teacher. She not only does the "math" but she identifies how the student is emotionally or otherwise dealing with the subject (in this case math). She tailors her instruction to maximize what the student learns during the tutoring sessions. My son has learning issues specifically with math yet he wants to major in engineering. Rebecca not only worked hard to give him the skills to work through math problems in general but also supported and encouraged him to try engineering.

My son has had many tutors over the years but Rebeca's the best!!!

"Great Tutor Experience"

- Bob from Stanford, CA

I found Rebecca through WyzAnt to help my son with ACT math prep while he was at Stanford for 2 months (we actually live in TN). Rebecca was very professional and prompt with her communication with me to set up this tutoring arrangement - which I really appreciated. And, Rebecca took the time to drive to Stanford and meet my son for his lessons at the local student center. The actual lessons were challenging and she was always well prepared. Couldn't ask for anything better and we are indebted to Rebecca for helping my son so much this summer. Thank you so much!

"Calculus to Algebra and beyond–Rebecca is Amazing!"

- Tammy from Sunnyvale, CA

We hired Rebecca to work weekly with 2 of our kids throughout the entire school year: one child in AP-Calculus (to fill in the gaps from the public school system and to ensure good AP test scores) and the other child in Algebra 1 (because he struggled with pre-Algebra last year). Finding a tutor who was so skilled in such different areas of math was a treasure. She was able to work with our kids’ different learning styles & personalities. Rebecca has a brilliant mind for math; it is obvious that she loves sharing her knowledge with her pupils. Rebecca spent her own time to bookmark our kids’ math teacher websites, enabling her to know ahead of time when tests were approaching and what subjects were being taught next. She was punctual, reliable, and easy to get a hold of, flexible during holidays and always ready to add an extra session before a big test if we needed it.
Rebecca is the best math tutor we could imagine. We wholeheartedly recommend her to tutor your children too!

"Fantastic tutor"

- Cathy from Palo Alto, CA

Rebecca has been invaluable for my son; his math grades have improved significantly since she began working with him. She explains difficult concepts in a very clear and easily understood manner, and she shares her mastery of the subject matter in each lesson. She is very reliable and quickly responds to calls and email contacts. We were referred to Rebecca by a friend who has had the same success in working with her, and in turn, have been so pleased with Rebecca's tutoring skills that we have referred her to others. Highly recommended!!

"Wonderfully articulate and brilliant teacher!"

- Marci from Palo Alto, CA

My daughter raves about Rebecca. She says that she gets so much out of the time she spends with her. I just wish that we had found her earlier in the academic year! Thank you so much, Rebecca. My daughter was becoming disenchanted with math and I was concerned that she would abandon it altogether after this term. I am fairly confident that she will still want to take AP Calculus next year!!

"Outstanding tutor"

- Annette from Los Gatos, CA

Rebecca continues to be an amazing teacher. Since my daughter restarted school, Rebecca regularly inquires as to her learning status in school, trying to anticipate her learning needs and re-appraising her status as to what she did not understand at every meeting. Rebecca has not just confined her teaching to the lessons themselves but cares enough to follow up with emails sent late at night and even on the weekends, trying to handle issues we might have. She is such a caring individual and I cannot say enough positive things about her. I am very glad that she is our daughter's tutor.

"Excellent!"

- Ken from Los Altos, CA

We love Rebecca! Clear, professional, reliable, excellent communicator! She's a wonderful tutor and we're so grateful to have found her.

"Exceptional tutor...would call on her again!"

- Cassie from Redwood City, CA

I was struggling with Algebra 2 & looking for a tutor to help me through finals in my sophomore year in high school.
I happen to do an internet search for “math help” and found Wyzant and found Rebecca. Rebecca helped me better understand Algebra 2 in just about two weeks time.
She is very patient, and has great teaching style.
She made sure I understood a math problem first before we moved on to the next.
She is reliable, dependable, responsive and accommodating, I always know I will hear back from her. She wanted to help me as much as I wanted her help. I would call on her again and recommend her anytime!

"Excellent Tutor"

- Madhu from Fremont, CA

One word. EXCELLENT. Extremely patient and thorough. Very punctual, very pleasant demeanor, my daughter took to her immediately, she has a very good understanding of the subject. We whole heartedly recommend Rebecca for Math tutoring. My daughter's grades went up due to the excelling tutoring that she recevied from Rebecca.

"Excellent tutor - you won't go wrong"

- Howard from Fremont, CA

Hi -- Rebecca helped our daughter Kate with PreCal. Kate's teacher didn't really teach the subject so she needed someone to help fill in the many gaps. Rebecca was always prepared in advance for the lessons, patient, and very good at explaining the various concepts and formulas. Kate has had several other tutors in PreCal, I would say if you need a PreCal tutor, contact Rebecca!
