About Kevin

I have a decade of professional experience teaching and tutoring mathematics, SAT/ACT test prep, and chemistry. Over the years I have developed very effective strategies and techniques for working with students. I have a unique knack for clearly explaining difficult concepts and problems from a number of perspectives. More importantly, I am very good at individualizing my instruction according to each student's unique needs, goals, and abilities. As a result, my students routinely experience dramatic improvements in academic performance, confidence, and SAT and ACT test scores. I am quite confident I am one of the best math and test prep tutors you can find anywhere.

Each of my students receives my greatest effort and commitment. I teach with a high level of passion and enthusiasm. I strive to act as advocate, coach, and counselor for my students, helping to ensure their immediate and long-term success, both in and out of the classroom. For all my regular-schedule students I am available by text message between tutoring sessions .

I am a highly experienced professional educator. Since I work extremely hard to help my students realize their greatest potential, I expect each student engage in the learning process with their best effort. I only work with students who care. For potential regular-schedule clients, I typically require an in-person interview/consultation with both parent and student to ensure the best possible tutoring arrangement. I expect that my students and their parents take tutoring and test prep seriously, and I expect my clients treat appointments with me just like appointments with any other skilled professional, such as a doctor or lawyer.

NOTE: I teach and tutor from my professional office which provides a secure, convenient, and efficient learning environment for my students and their parents. My office is complete with dry erase boards, testing rooms, vending machines, waiting areas, WiFi, security monitoring, textbook library, worksheets/handouts, practice tests, and more.

Please contact me if you have any questions or if you are ready to transform your educational experience.
