Excellent tutor

Dr. V is an upbeat person and a fantastic tutor. my daughter has used many tutors on Wyzant and she thinks he is one of the best! He is helping her with business calculus. When she ends the session she understands the material extremely well!

Virginia, 16 lessons with Steve
Tutor responded:

Thank you, Virginia. Your daughter has great potential and learns quickly. I have worked with hundreds of students over the years, but she is one of my favorite learners!!

Excellent Tutor...One of a Kind

Dr. V did an absolutely fabulous job working with my son. His first session was last week and I genuinely feel that my son not only learned a little bit but actually grasped and was able to apply the knowledge. I don't know if Dr. V has prior experience working with individuals on the autism spectrum but, either way, he is a natural.

Thank you, April. He is a quick learner and will do quite well in his statistics class. I appreciate the opportunity to help him find and fix his skill (knowledge) gaps.

Very knowledgeable, great at researching and patient

I had help with a computational science mathematical paper. He was very patient with me and quickly found references to help me understand better. Although it was a computational paper, he researched and helped me understand things I was failing at understanding.
