My son met with Russell for three sessions. He was failing college calculus. He is now completely caught up and understand the material. Excellent teacher. Thank you!

Great at explaining & flexible schedule
From parent - I can see the confidence my son has gained in just 2 meetings with Russell to help strengthen his confidence in his Calc I abilities. He's been super flexible with schedule & been a great fit for my son. From my son - Russell explains how the concepts work in detail which is great. He doesn't just go through the problems and do them he makes it so you understand how you got to the resolution. He's very patient and not judgy. There have been concepts or questions I've asked multiple times because I forgot & he's patient and goes through them to help me understand.

Super knowledgeable and helpful!
Russell met with my 11th grade son at a time when he was struggling with very difficult math concepts (matrices). Russell knew exactly what to do to help my son understand the concepts and feel confident that he would do well on an upcoming test. We’ll definitely continue requesting Russell’s help!

Helped out my son.
My son was happy with the session. Plan to use Russell for the rest of the semester. Met my son on the U of MN campus. Very convenient. Thanks Wyzant for making the connection with Russell.

Very helpful!
He tutored my son in preparation for an Algebra II test. After the session, my son was much more confident about his understanding of the concepts and felt ready for the exam. Russell was patient and used examples that followed the same process taught in his math class. My son asked for his help ongoing.

Professional, Knowledgeable, Great Tutor
I came across Russell's profile and was impressed with his background. I have hired Russell as a tutor now for 4, 2-hour sessions and in that amount of time, I was able to fully understand over 7 sections in our current place in College Level Calculus. He helped me prepare for a test by making sure I understood the concepts and basic steps involved in solving the equations and when he identified area I could improve on or really needed to master in order to be successful he developed and brought examples to our lessons for me to work on. Highlights of our tutoring sessions: -Very knowledgeable -Polite/Friendly -Always on time and flexible with his schedule -Showed a true desire to help me learn and understand what I needed help with (calculus) -Never once got frustrated or seemed like he didn't want to be there. Overall I highly recommend Russell as a tutor to anyone and have nothing poor or bad to say about the tutoring lesson he provided. He also has a very reasonable rate!
