Knowledgeable Tutor

George helped my child learn in depth Algebra equations, he helped in solving quadratic equations and graphing a parabola. He explained the topics well and cleared my child's doubts.

Vasu, 3 lessons with George

Phenomenal Tutor!

George is an outstanding tutor- he is very knowledgeable about all the concepts and levels of Math. My daughter is learning AP Calculus with him and there is not a single topic that he is not able to explain well! He is patient and makes sure that she understands the problem completely. You can never go wrong with George, I would highly recommend him for your elementary/middle/high/college kid any day! My daughter loves her lessons with him.

Ujjainy, 28 lessons with George

Excellent with Advanced Math

George has been helping me with a varieties of concepts in higher level math. Concepts from Number Theory to Discrete Algebra. He is so patient and willing to help me understand the material. Our lessons are always great, even when the math is hard. Appreciate all his help!

Alexis, 12 lessons with George
