"The best math tutor!"
- Liza, Mukilteo, WA on 12/13/15Steve is unbelievable! My son was struggling with Calculus and in two or three session he brought his confidence up and his grade to a B! Steve asks great questions to make my son think, he builds my son's confidence AND Steve builds rapport and humor into the sessions.
My son is very picky about tutors, and frankly did not learn a whole lot from others, and really did not want to do this. He now willingly goes, and seems much more engaged with his homework! His math teacher even commented regarding the difference. We will continue this weekly for the rest of the year!
You would be lucky to get this tutor!

"Great session for my daughter"
- Nicole, Ocala, FL on 12/23/16Steve really helped my daughter understand the material in a way that she had not been able to just going to her teacher at school. She feels much more confident about her abilities now and has a renewed sense of energy about the class. In one session Steve was able to identify areas where my daughter was missing information to be successful with the class work, help her to work through the problems with additional skills, and help her integrate these skills into further course work that will come up in the future. I have a lot of confidence in Steve's ability to teach the material and also supplement what is taught in class in order to boost my daughter's grades and confidence in herself. Thank you, Steve!
Thank you, Nicole! I enjoyed working with your daughter and am glad to hear that she is doing very well in class.

He has sent me links to outside sources with more example and explanations as well as explained how to solve problems step by step with detail and precision. He will make sure that you understand the material. I also appreciate his flexibility and availability with his schedule. I find it very easy to ask for help when I need it and he responds right away to schedule appointments. I really enjoy working with Steve and I always leave his lessons with a better understanding of the material we worked on.
Thank you Sophia! You are a highly focused student and a pleasure to work with. Nice job!

"Excellent tutor and learns with you down to the books."
- Phil, Bellingham, WA on 10/22/16Steve V. is a great tutor to work with. I asked him for some assistance in circuits homework and he was able help me understand the homework by reiterating the fundamentals that he learned when he was taught the class. "ELI THE ICE MAN", I will never forget. If he doesn't understand the problem at hand he works with you in either your textbook or his own textbook to find examples to tackle your homework or tough concepts. He also is very knowledgeable in Controls Systems and PLC programming, and we ended up having a great talk about that too. I highly recommend Steve V. as a tutor in the Everett/Mukilteo area. Thanks Steve.

- Eloy, Fort Lauderdale, FL on 12/7/15Very knowledgeable and helpful. He pushes the student to learn. He tries to make himself available no matter the time. That really comes in handy when you are in the college level, with a job, family and a schedule as hectic as mine is

"Great Tutor but some logistical concerns by phone"
- Kevin, Sequim, WA on 2/7/13Steve is a great tutor being able to give instructions that are both clear and profitable. There are some concerns with availability by phone but 2nd to none in his abilities and ensuring the party he's working with comprehends the work.

"Good teaching with a great personality."
- Abner, Stanwood, WA on 11/22/12I gotta say that I was very skeptical about hiring somebody off the internet as a tutor and specially to help me with a subject as hard as Calculus. I am happy to say that Steve was very professional and had a contagious "can-do" attitude. I appreciated his personality because it made me feel at ease almost immediately and I was able to concentrate in learning. There are tutors out there who definitely have the knowledge but are not very good with people and explaining the material (such as my university professor). With Steve, I got the best of both worlds. A+ experience!
"Awesome!"
- Lorraine, Marysville, WA on 11/20/12She feels more confident about her lessons now! She just needed to understand the basics more! She got that with Steve! He's awesome!
"Great tutor"
- Patrick, Everett, WA on 3/14/12Steve does a very good job of explaining the lesson. I received Statistics, a rather difficult and dull subject and Steve made learning the lesson fun and interesting.
"AWESOME!"
- Brenna, Lynnwood, WA on 3/11/12Steve was an awesome tutor. Very helpful, very patient, and broke everything down into simple easy steps so things made sense. If it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't have passed my business statistics class. Even when I thought I was asking silly questions for the basic things you needed to know he stuck with my questions until I understood and really helped me understand the bigger picture. Awesome tutor!

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.
