Bio

I am a MA licensed middle school math teacher of 20+ years, and I have tutored countless math students from grades 7-12. I may be the most patient math teacher students will ever have, and I try to not just show math skills, but help students understand the language of math in general and algebra in particular. I have worked successfully with students of all abilities, and my students (and their parents) tell me they are so relieved to finally understand math and not be made to feel dumb or...

I am a MA licensed middle school math teacher of 20+ years, and I have tutored countless math students from grades 7-12. I may be the most patient math teacher students will ever have, and I try to not just show math skills, but help students understand the language of math in general and algebra in particular. I have worked successfully with students of all abilities, and my students (and their parents) tell me they are so relieved to finally understand math and not be made to feel dumb or lazy for not understanding. Confidence can be very powerful.

I tutor Algebra, Pre-algebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Trigonometry, and SAT prep. I work in Acton and Concord and surrounding towns around the Metrowest.

Algebra 1,

Algebra 1

I have many years of success teaching and tutoring algebra to students of varying ages. I have developed a lot of expertise in observing, questioning and listening to students to understand their specific problem areas, and then address them in a way that helps students not just learn, but truly understand the algebra language.

I have many years of success teaching and tutoring algebra to students of varying ages. I have developed a lot of expertise in observing, questioning and listening to students to understand their specific problem areas, and then address them in a way that helps students not just learn, but truly understand the algebra language. This is especially important as Algebra 2 moves into more advanced topics that are harder to grasp merely with prior math knowledge.

Knowledgeable, kind and incredibly helpful

Grant has been tutoring our daughter in math for the last few months, and we've been impressed with him since day one! First, our daughter really enjoys her lessons with him. He is knowledgeable, has an easy-going style and does a great job explaining concepts. As a result, our daughter always comes out of her lessons more confident and prepared for her upcoming tests and quizzes. That gives us peace of mind to know she's getting the support she needs. Grant has also been super flexible -- making himself available at the last minute on several occasions, and is always willing to change times as needed. With busy schedules and school activities, his willingness to work with us is much appreciated. We're thrilled with Grant, and would recommend him to anyone.

Grant is awesome!

Grant helped our older child with Algebra 1 and Geometry, and now he is doing the same wonderful work with our younger kid. He explains the why not just the how, so kids can grasp the big picture and tackle problems confidently.

Great math teacher.

Grant P. has the ability to explain math concepts and simplify them. He helped my son study for his algebra 2 final and was extremely effective.

Fun, patient and knowledgeable expert on math

We had a mediocre teacher for math last year and my son who is in 6th grade was not doing great at the beginning of the school year, my husband and I had decided to address the issue immediately so that he will enjoy learning and doing math once more. We were very fortunate to have found Grant, he is so fun to work with, very patient with tons of knowledge and different ways to help my son understand the process and the essence of the topics, our son’s grade had since been improving steadily. We look forward to seeing our boy flourish as a math enthusiast, highly recommend Grant to anyone who is looking for a great math tutor with expertise.

Patient and very knowledgeable

We just had our first lesson with Grant and our son seems to have liked it. As this was our first time I will submit another review after a few sessions and update on how my son’s knowledge in math is improving with him.

Very calm, patient and knowledgeable

Grant started at the beginning of the concepts which made our daughter feel much more at ease with the material. He welcomed any and all questions, and allowed her to be open and honest with her level of understanding.

Excellent tutor all around

My son looks forward to his sessions with Grant, and finds them quite helpful. I didn't think I would ever say that! Grant has a very calm, and encouraging manner about him. He has done amazing work solidifying the math concepts that my son is currently learning in school.

Knowledge and Kind

Grant is an excellent tutor and his teaching style really helps students to understand math concepts. He has given my son confidence in his math ability and has helped him maintain an A in his honors algebra 2 class. He's also super nice and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend Grant!

Knowledgeable and pleasant tutor

Grant arrived on Super Bowl Sunday to review Algebra I and II with my 10th grader. He analyzed the student's deficiencies and designed a plan to move forward. He is smart, patient and very, very pleasant. It is a privilege to have him as a tutor.
