Deep Understanding And Clear Explanations, ANSWERED ALL MY QUESTIONS

Krishna helped me tremendously in understanding a problem I was struggling with. He began by showing me foundational knowledge going step by step and allowing me to ask questions and understand along the way. I was able to fully understand every decision he made in the code. After the lesson I retried the problem on my own and even used his visualization techniques which also helped me further my problem solving skills. I can't thank him enough!

Thank you Oren!

Great Tutor

Krishna was excellent! We completed a diagnostic in order for him to assess what areas I needed to strengthen. He provided me strategies to work with the concepts that I found difficult. He really explained math concepts thoroughly and in a way that I could understand. He was very patient. I would recommend him for anyone who has to complete the quantitative portion of the gre.
