I have ten years of experience tutoring and teaching mathematics, including work as an algebra teacher. I hold a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and graduated with a 3.9 GPA. I tutor subjects from Pre-Algebra through Calculus, including AP courses and IB Math Applications and Interpretation SL.

I explain why methods work and give students opportunities to practice applying them. We work through problems together, address misunderstandings, and review skills from earlier courses when needed. Questions are always welcome, and my goal is for students to become more independent in their work.

Please take a look at my reviews to learn more about my tutoring style, and feel free to reach out with any questions.

Max is fantastic!

Max is an amazingly patient tutor and knows exactly how to teach difficult concepts in a way that is easy to comprehend. He has helped my kids with Geometry, Algebra II, AP Precalculus and AP Calculus. He is extremely intelligent and great to work with. My kids really enjoy the tutoring sessions with him, and their grades have improved because of his excellent teaching. He’s terrific!

Best tutor!

I honestly feel so lucky that we found him! My daughter has been working with him for the past 3 years, starting with Geometry and then continuing through two AP Calculus classes. He is truly a master of math. He is incredibly knowledgeable and somehow seems to know every area of mathematics. Whenever my daughter has a difficult concept or question, he always knows exactly how to explain it in a way that makes sense to her. What I really appreciate is how organized and dependable he is. He always prepares before each class, and he always gives feedback afterward. I love to read his feedback ^^. He is also very quick to respond whenever I have a question, which means so much to me as a parent. After 3 years, I can honestly say that finding him was one of the best things that happened for my daughter’s math education. She has learned so much and has become much more confident in math because of his teaching. We are truly grateful for all of his help and dedication. I highly recommend him to any student who wants not just a tutor, but a teacher who really cares and knows math inside and out!

We have been working with Max for over two years, and we couldn’t be happier with the support he has provided to our sons, Sebastian and Dylan. He has tutored them in pre-algebra, algebra, Algebra 2, and geometry, and we have seen a tremendous improvement in their math skills and confidence. Max is incredibly kind, patient, knowledgeable, and always takes the time to make sure they truly understand the material. He has a wonderful way of explaining challenging concepts in a clear and approachable manner, and our sons genuinely enjoy working with him. We highly recommend Max to any family looking for an excellent math tutor. He has made a meaningful difference in our sons’ education, and we are very grateful for all of his help over the past two years!

Great tutor for SAT and general math prep

Max has been helping me out with a lot of my schoolwork and SAT prep, and I have noticed a noticeable positive shift in both my grades and the scores I receive on my practice SATs. Overall, Max is a great tutor who is very good at helping me understand a lot of difficult material and explains mathematical concepts really well. Would definitely recommend Max for other students looking to improve their math grade or their SAT scores.

Wonderful Tutor!

Max has been working with our rising junior daughter on pre-calculus. He has been responsible and responsive. He sends detailed summaries of their sessions along with follow up practice sheets. He has been tutoring our daughter twice a week since early June and her feedback, along with mine, is only positive !
