About Corey


Bio

I have been tutoring for 17 years, since I was a senior in high school. In my previous career, I was a full-time math teacher for 4 years; I taught both middle school and high school math. After school hours I would tutor any of my students, as well as any students from other classes because they enjoy learning with me.

The best thing about tutoring compared to teaching a whole class is I get to know who I'm teaching much better and can really teach in the best possible way to help them...

I have been tutoring for 17 years, since I was a senior in high school. In my previous career, I was a full-time math teacher for 4 years; I taught both middle school and high school math. After school hours I would tutor any of my students, as well as any students from other classes because they enjoy learning with me.

The best thing about tutoring compared to teaching a whole class is I get to know who I'm teaching much better and can really teach in the best possible way to help them understand the topics they are struggling with. It's also enjoyable for me to get to know who I'm tutoring in general.

I hold myself to a very high standard and do everything I possibly can to help those I tutor. I also hold high, but realistic expectations of who I teach/tutor. We'll work together to help you reach your full learning and performing potential. I also have a lot of patience and do not negatively judge my students. I'm very kind and love to encourage others!

If you want a highly effective tutor to help you or your child not just understand math, but to help you or your child excel in it, then contact me and let's get started! :-)

Patient, knowledgeable and detailed

My daughter quickly adjusted to Corey and communicated her areas of struggle in math. It was obvious that Corey made her feel comfortable immediately. Corey offered a variety of strategies that my daughter found useful for difficult math problems that she encountered. These steps are a huge bonus for my daughter in addition to the ones she already implements from her math teachers. She said Corey took his time, offered alternative steps to solve the more difficult math problems and made her feel a little more confident about math. Thank you Corey!!!

Great first impression!

Corey helped my nephew build on his math skills. My nephew felt comfortable and more confident by the end of the session. We will book more sessions in the future.

Great teacher!!!

Corey worked with my son on his homework which is the basis for his upcoming test. After his session with Corey, he feels extremely confident going into the test date.

IMPRESSIVE

My daughter is a little shy at times. But Corey was able to get her to relax, think and not be intimidated. He showed her helpful tips and strategies that will assist in her comprehension. He identified resources and materials that will help her practice and sharpen her math skills. She's looking forward to the next session. For me, that's that's IMPRESSIVE!

Patient

Very Patient

Corey tutored my daughter, who is in the 6th grade, in math. He reviewed the concepts covered so far in 6th grade to ensure she has a solid foundation and understanding. I really liked that he gave her sample problems to test where she is as he went along the topics. When he felt she had a solid foundation he would move on to the next one. He also covered some other ways of solving a problem in a way she can understand to give her more arsenal. Throughout the time he was very patient and encouraging. I really like Corey and I would certainly recommend him to other parents and book sessions when needed in the future.
