He guided me through the challenges I was facing and gave me the tools I needed to succeed. His method is extremely effective! He is very patient, kind, intelligent, experienced, professional, reliable and passionate about sharing his wealth of knowledge. I have the utmost respect and appreciation for Mr. Roger H. His expertise exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is seeking tutoring services of any kind. I plan to use his services again once I start my second bachelor's degree next month. I have him on speed dial!
"Excellent tutor with a wide range of subject matter expertise. Especially helpful for a home schooled student. Results oriented and an absolute pleasure to work with."
- Chana, Tavares, FL on 10/24/16We found Dr. Roger to be very positive in his approach, which made learning much easier for my senior high school, home school student. Dr. Roger is flexible in his availability and scheduling. He is an expert in many subjects, which is great for our home school program. He is a true educator with a flair for being able to reach a student. We feel very blessed to have such a resource of knowledge and instruction as part of our home school education curriculum. We look forward to continuing to work together. Thank you, Dr. Roger!
"Excellent tutor."
- Patrick, Altamonte Springs, FL on 2/3/16Excellent tutor. My son just received a 95 on his finance test at UCF. He has helped motivate my son and goes out of his way to make himself available for tutoring sessions. My son said that Roger is best tutor he has worked with since starting college in 2013.
"A smart and practical tutor."
- Chris, Yalaha, FL on 1/27/16Dr. Roger was very patient and persistent when aiding me in learn difficult statistical concepts. His easy going nature removes the intimidation factor. He was a pleasure to work with.
"Amazing teacher"
- Shirin, Gotha, FL on 1/10/16Mr. Roger is way beyond expectation in understanding a student. In one lesson he could figure out what area my daughter needs help. Too confident , prepared and knowledgeable. I feel blessed to have had him for her.He has a unique way of teaching and a very cooperative person. Words are too little to describe him.
"Knowledgable and patient tutor"
- Jennifer, Grand Island, FL on 11/18/15Roger is helping my son prepare for the ASVAB. He is patient and quickly assessed his weaknesses and worked with him to strengthen his skills for the test.
"Great experience!"
- AnneLiese, Lake Mary, FL on 11/2/15It was a pleasure working with Roger, he helped me to have a better understanding of quantitative analysis, and did so not by giving me the answers, but by coaching me and allowing me to find them myself.
"He is the one!"
- Vivian, Oxford, FL on 10/28/15My 7th grade son has struggled with school for several years now. He is what you would call an unorganized student. After his first lesson with Roger, my son is excited about school and is proud of himself for turning in a well written assignment that he knows is correct. Roger has the patience of a saint and understands the needs of my son. Roger makes learning interesting and easy. Best thing we have done for my son's education.
"Very knowledgable and determined to help you learn"
- Ross, Orlando, FL on 9/19/15Extremely smart man with years of experience in many subjects. He will do everything he can to help you understand the material.
"Knowledgeable in math and reading"
- Jennifer, Orlando, FL on 9/11/15Roger helped me find some of my weaknesses in math and reading and gave me some tools to help improve them. Easy to understand and uses methods that are easy to apply.
"Very personable tutor."
- Ann, Clermont, FL on 6/9/15Roger was able to interact with my teenage boy in a positive manner. My son actually didn't mind reviewing his pre-calculus with Roger.
"Great tutor"
- Abdul, Orlando, FL on 2/27/15Roger has been tutoring me in statistics for a month. We meet twice a week, 2 hours per meeting. His method of teaching is clear and tries hard to make sure that I understand all the subjects. He is patient. English is my second language and he has been helping me a lot to learn the new terms of statistics and the root and meaning of the terms. I will continue to take his lessons to the end of the semester. I highly recommend him.
"Good Teacher"
- Travis, Daytona Beach, FL on 9/16/14Good teacher, very positive, very detailed, lots of helpful information. I wish I was able to learn more in less time.
"More than a tutor."
- Flavio, Windermere, FL on 3/15/13Roger is a very inspiring teacher. He learns how your brain works and then teaches with that in mind. Aside from teaching the subject he helps and mentors the student with extreme care and interest for the student's overall performance in life. He's a great listener and very caring tutor.
"Great Tutor"
- Veronica, Winter Park, FL on 12/8/12Roger did a great job of tutoring me. He was always available and went beyond my expectations. Roger was flexible with the schedule.
"Fantastic tutor!"
- Lindsay, Sanford, FL on 12/2/12We have used other tutors in the past and Roger H. has a unique ability to simplify the principles of algebra. Our family highly recommends Roger H.
"Encourager"
- Catherine, Winter Springs, FL on 10/5/12Thanks for your time and wisdom shared with my daughter! She looked forward to her lessons and said that she'd never admit it publicly but that she actually had "fun" learning math while she was with you. You have been a great encouragement to her and I'm sure that her SAT scores will reflect her time with you.
"The right man for the job!"
- Joshua, Apopka, FL on 7/11/12Mr. Roger is a leader in educational principals. He WILL get the job done! He is kind and courteous and not overbearing. He is a true gentlemen and a product of education.
"Great tutor, very organized and caring."
- Frank, Orlando, FL on 6/7/12The reason why I picked Roger was because from a review I read: "he figures out how you learn and he teaches to that". Sure enough, this is exactly what he did for me as well. Before we met, he asked me about myself and what I wished to accomplish? Upon our meeting he had a prepared lesson plan, with clear defined objectives based upon our previous conversation. In just 2 hours he taught me more about Excel than I learned in the past 2 years. In a short period of time Roger was able to determine my learning style (something that I have not been able to figure out for myself in over 40 years). He also presented me with a learning guide that I can use to assist me in understanding my own learning style better and actual things that I can do to maximize my time in learning new material more efficiently and effectively.
Roger has a PhD in education and his passion is trying to combine Business Analytics into education. I also learned Roger is a a graduate of The U.S. Military Academy at West Point. I could not have come up with a better teacher if I was able to design one myself!
"Great Lesson!"
- Lorena, Mount Dora, FL on 5/22/12Dr. H. is remarkable! Wonderful tutor! Highly knowledgeable in my area!!! Great experience! Can't wait to meet with him again.
"Great Tutor!"
- Lisa, Orlando, FL on 5/22/12I would highly recommend Roger should anyone ever need tutor services. Roger helped me achieve a much greater understanding of statistics which optimized my learning experience. Roger helped show me how to target focus my attention on a class project, better organize the steps and bring more detail to the forefront, which ultimately increased my final grade. He was very patient and always took considerable time reviewing concepts to make sure I understood the assignment before leaving our sessions.
"Thanks Roger!!"
- Fanchea, Oviedo, FL on 5/3/12Roger is great with my son! He is very patient and calm and in a very short time Roger has filled in a lot of the "gaps" my son had, and still has kept him up with his class. Roger also showed my son the importance of organizing and laying out a math problem properly. My son has said he feels like he is "getting it" and that's thanks to Roger.
"Professional"
- Christina, Windermere, FL on 4/5/12Roger helped me with understanding some of the statistical concepts I was learning more conceptually. By reviewing basic terms, and helping me to understand concepts more clearly than I had prior to our session. He was very patient, did not rush me and spent a considerable amount of time with me reviewing.
"Very impressed - Great tutor"
- Chase, Orlando, FL on 3/27/12The very first session Roger was very engaging with my 16 year old son. He got him thinking and talking, which can be a challenge with teens, but seemed easy for him. He helped greatly with his Alg. II assignments. In fact my son said, he learned more from Roger in 2 hours than he has learned from his teacher all year! Sad but I think it's probably true!
"What a difference a day makes!"
- Michelle, Saint Cloud, FL on 2/12/12After just 1 turtoring session my son felt more confident in his approach and understanding of the subject. My son was excited about what he had learned and just can't wait to apply that knowledge and learn more. Mr. Hamilton, was patient and recongnized key factors in what he called, "small holes in my sons knowledge". By filling those holes my son feels better equipped. Can't wait for the next lesson! Thanks again!
"The best tutor ever!!!"
- MILA, Lake Mary, FL on 1/22/12I cannot thank you enough Roger!
He is an awesome teacher with knowledge that exceeds my expectation. He is also very kind and sincere that make me feel very comfortable. I give more than 5 stars out of 5 stars.
"Awesome Tutor!"
- Jacqueline, Orlando, FL on 10/13/11Roger is an amazing tutor, and I highly recommend him. I hadn't taken an Excel class in over two years and didn't understand it at all but, the very fundamentals. I tried to learn on my own - I found WyzAnt online and decided to give tutoring a try. After only one session with Roger, I actually understood how to go about solving the problems (or at least a good portion of them!). I would imagine that there are a lot of tutors who are patient and knowledgeable about the subject they teach, but what sets Roger apart is the fact that he can figure out how you learn and then teach to that. Once Roger could see how I attempted to tackle a problem, he adapted his teaching style so that I could understand how actually solve it. I enjoyed working with him and honestly would not have gotten my assignment done without his help. I have no hesitations whatsoever about recommending Roger.
"Awesome Tutor!!!"
- Stephanie, Deltona, FL on 6/1/11Roger H. is an awesome tutor. He helped my son tremendously with studying for the Math portion of the SAT. My son was very comfortable working with Roger and they got along well. By the end of a month of tutoring his Math score had jumped more than 100 points. You won't be disappointed in choosing Roger H. for your tutoring needs.
"Patient and keeps attention"
- Kyle, Oviedo, FL on 4/5/11Able to Kyles attention and he now seems to have a greater interest in studying.
Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Business
I have earned a Master of Science in Systems Management which is essentially an MBA for managing technical organizations. I also have extensive real-world experience from startups to multinational corporations. I can help you understand how business works.
Proofreading
Being a published author, I have helped others and I can help you write a much better paper.
Study Skills
Having earned a Ph.D., I consider myself to be a great learner. I don't know everything, but there's not much I can't learn. Leveraging this interest and expertise in learning, I have developed a unique online system which recommends optimal learning strategies to you, the learner, in real time. As the situation changes, the recommendations change. As it gets smarter, the recommendations get better. There are currently more than 80 learning strategies in the system, and I hope you will learn them all - what they are, how to use them, and when to use them. Developing this ability to learn will give you a great lifelong skill in an increasingly dynamic and competitive world.
TEAS
My many years as a successful student in the TEAS subject areas (culminating in a Ph.D.), my knowledge of optimal instructional and learning strategies, and the proper patient and encouraging attitude toward your emotional needs qualify me to tutor you on the TEAS test. We'll have great fun learning the TEAS subject matter and useful how-to-learn skills. I have helped nearly 30 different people successfully prepare for the TEAS over the past 3 years. For example, one recent student went from failing twice to passing and was very happy.
