My son is currently struggling in algebra 1. After the first tutoring lesson, my son took a major algebra 1 test. His grade increased by 14 points from the previous test he had taken. The teacher told my son that he had the highest test grade in the whole class. My son states that Gene L. is patient and explains the algebra 1 concepts to him. We are very fortunate to have Gene L. for our tutor.

Matt started to work on those areas. After each class, Matt leaves a detailed message about exactly what he worked on with my son, as well as what my son knows, and what he needs to continue to work on. He is flexible as far as helping with homework, going over past exams, and preparing for future exams. My son did an Algebra 1 make-up test last week in school, and with Matt's help, he brought his grade from an F to a B+! We are very pleased.
