Knowledgeable and Helpful

We had multiple sessions where we reviewed questions I had missed on practice SAT tests. Over the span of a couple weeks my practice score went from a 570 to 720. During my test I was confident in my ability on the Math section and am very thankful that I worked with Theodore.

Very patient Tutor!

Theodore helped me during multiple lessons for B.C. before the AP exam. He was very patient and made sure to explain the concepts in detail and if I was stuck, he found other ways so I can understand better. He made me feel more confident about the content and I felt more comfortable doing harder problems than I had before.
