- Dawn, Severn, MD on 10/16/12This man is an exceptional tutor. Keith is prompt, courteous, and professional. He understands the subject thoroughly but also has a gift of teaching the material in a manner that the student can understand. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have found him. I would suggest that anyone considering tutors, to not be dissuaded by his higher rate. You have to consider that this man can teach material in a manner that is grasped quickly and thoroughly when compared to a tutor with a cheaper rate. Another tutor may take twice as long to convey the same understanding to your student.
"Organized"
- Gavin, Edgewater, MD on 8/26/16Keith is exactly what we thought he would be for my son. He is giving Gavin an organized manor to preform proper problem solving in Math.
"Approachable and Friendly"
- Michele, Annapolis, MD on 1/18/16My son was delighted with his first tutoring session. He really likes Keith. He instructs in a way that is easy to understand and he is approachable and friendly.
"Amazing tutor!"
- Nathan, Severna Park, MD on 10/18/15Our son's sixth grade teacher recommended we get a math tutor to help our son a little bit in some areas and we are very grateful to have found Dr. Keith!! He is very knowledgeable, calm and very easy to understand. Our son quickly picked up what he was being taught. We are looking forward to working with him again!! I would recommend him to anyone both young and old.
"My son really enjoyed learning with Keith."
- Debra, Pasadena, MD on 9/16/15Thank you for working with my son this past week. He really seemed to enjoy the lesson and looks forward to this next Thursday.
"Friendly and helpful"
- Kathy, Annapolis, MD on 7/27/15We had gone over basic algebra problems and rules. He made sure that I understood something before we moved on.
"Great Tutor!!"
- Marcus, Severna Park, MD on 2/3/15Easily established a good working relationship with my son and after only one session his test scores when up by at least 10% or a whole grade level!
Dr. Keith is very professional and an expert in his subject matter. My son's school is paperless and all work and tests are on ipads. This was new for Dr. Keith and the way Dr Keith worked everything out on paper was new to my son. Funny!
"Excellent help"
- Connie, Millersville, MD on 1/11/15After the session, my daughter was actually happy to continue to work on physics problems. This was after many nights of tears and struggles. She is excited about the next session.
"Good First Lesson"
- Yelena, Annapolis, MD on 10/10/13Keith was on time, very professional, prepared for the first lesson, made a very good impression. My son liked the structure of the lesson, and we will definitely continue having lessons with Keith. Will write later about the results.
"Great job."
- Cathy, Arnold, MD on 9/30/13I feel confident that Keith's approach to the material was thorough and well targeted to my daughter's specific needs. He was also very easy to work with in terms of scheduling. I'm very glad we contacted him.
"On time"
- Jeff, Crofton, MD on 9/10/13This was my daughters first time using a professional Tutor. Keith was on time and tutoring started almost immediately. He provided several ways to look at and solve chemistry problems. Keith also suggested how to develop a specific study guide for the section of chemistry they were reviewing.
"Excellent pairing"
- Ryan, Pasadena, MD on 8/26/13My son enjoys working with Keith very much. Preparing for the SAT and ACT has been an enjoyable experience instead of a task. He looks forward to their lessons!
"Excellent Tutor"
- Andrea, Carrollton, VA on 6/17/13Keith was a great help to my daughter improving her test scores. She stated that he is very patient and "he doesn't make me feel stupid!" She always enjoyed her tutoring.
"Great tutor and vey patient. Highly recommend."
- Kim, Millersville, MD on 6/13/13Keith is an excellent geometry tutor. He explained all the theorems/formulas in detail that was very easy to understand (when listening I even remembered geometry from many years ago - not a subject I really wanted to relearn). He was patient and made sure that my daughter did understand the concepts before leaving or changing to another subject. Highly recommend if you have a child that is struggling with geometry.
"Outstanding Tutor!"
- Mabelle, Annapolis, MD on 6/12/13Keith started working on SAT math with my daughter after she had already taken the test once. He taught her different ways of doing the exercises and reached a new level of complexity. After only a few sessions, she took the test for the second time and her math score went up 110 points! She has been very happy with his lessons and continued to receive tutoring from him to prepare for the Math Subject Test and ACT.
My son will be taking the PSAT in the fall and we intend to have Keith help him prepare for it too.
"Connected well with my 14 year old son"
- John, Elkridge, MD on 2/16/13Keith has tutored my son for seven sessions. He has really helped his confidence and brought him up to speed in his Algebra 1 class. He is now backfilling some gaps in my son's skills that contributed to the problem. We are very pleased with the results so far.
"Great Tutor"
- Tina, Pasadena, MD on 12/8/12My son never thought he'd be able to understand Algebra II - he has learned so much in just the few sessions he's had with Keith.
"Wonderful Tutor"
- Karen, Edgewater, MD on 11/26/12Keith is a wonderful tutor. His is very patient and knowledgeable, making the subjects easy to comprehend. We would highly recommend him for any age.

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.
