Mr W. has been invaluable with helping my daughter with her algebra. My daughter is in the 7th Grade, and is taking pre-algebra. She didn't take any of the pre-algebra courses in the 6th grade, but because of her exceptional scores on the PSSAs, was assigned the advanced math course. Couple this with the fact that she is almost a year younger than her peers because of her birthday, and she is at quite a dis-advantage. Mr. W. has helped my daughter immensely.

My son started off 6th grade struggling with algebra and the related math curriculum. Dr. Boyoung set him on a course of confidence and success immediately, actually teaching the rational to the math components, not just sticking a ditto in his face as many classroom teachers are resorting to. He is amazing and a true gift to education. We are so happy have his service. Our son went from a C student in the 1st marking period to a B, then finalizing the year with a A.

My daughter is in 6th grade. She was so uncomfortable and sad that I got for her a tutor because she didn't want to sit and study. But after she met Tom and had 2 hours lessons with him she was so happy and exited. She sat to finish her study after Tom eft with a big smile on her face (it never happened before that she sit after her tutor to finish her work.) She told me Tom is a fun and great teacher, he explains very clearly & well the subject he is working on it.
