"Robin is AMAZING!"
- Joanna, Santa Cruz, CA on 6/29/17I've tried 4 Physics tutors over the course of a week and thought I just wasn't cut out to understand the subject, until I found Robin. He is patient, through, clear and makes complex topics easy to grasp. HIGHLY recommend!!
"Conveys material in easy to understand format"
- Jacqueline, Oberlin, OH on 6/14/17Good listener. Answers all my questions. Gives a great background to get me going with the homework problems! Not only knows the material, but also does a wonderful job of sharing his vast knowledge.
"Very good and knowledgable!"
- Jackie, New Orleans, LA on 4/14/17Helped me understand everything I need to know! Got a great grade on my test after being tutored by Robin. Good at explaining and breaking things down. Simplified everything so that it was easier to understand.
"Knowlegeable in physics"
- Rhonda, White Plains, NY on 4/10/17My daughter felt her session with Robin increased her understanding of wavelengths, rotational inertia and gravitational motion. She found him helpful and the wyzant online experience was interactive and facilitated learning experience.
"Helped Me Understand"
- Fernando, Miami, FL on 3/5/17Robin taught so many things. He taught me how to work with momentum and Impulse. He also helped me really understand how to use the formulas properly during the lesson. I am looking forward to another session soon.
"Very knowledgeable and patient!"
- Patrick, Monaca, PA on 3/4/17He's tutoring me in College Physics and Pre Calculus. Only had our first session but it went great and I learned a good bit from only an hour spent. He was ready on time and very helpful and willing to work whatever problem you throw his way.
"Great math tutor!"
- Andrea, Seattle, WA on 2/11/17Robin is a very patient and knowledgeable math tutor. He is dedicated to his student's success, and it shows! He is great at filling in the gaps if you have forgotten some previously learned concepts. I also appreciate his ability to bring together the 'bigger picture', and demonstrate how what you are currently learning relates to past and future topics. I highly recommend Robin as a tutor!
"Patient Knowledgeable"
- Jenae, Fort Pierce, FL on 12/10/16Robin helped me with Physics and even a random statistics question I threw at him one day when I was in a bind. He was very clear and down to earth with his explanations. Even going as far as helping me compile a formula sheet for my test! Highly recommended!
"Very helpful and patient!"
- Janet, Glendale, CA on 11/18/16Robin tutored my son in Pre Calculus on very short notice and did an excellent job - even sending solved problems they had worked on to analyze when the session was over. Hoping to use weekly. Thank you.
"Makes math interesting"
- Jackie, Streetsboro, OH on 6/7/16My son actually looks forward to working with Robin and was happy when he heard we could use him for ACT test prep. That says a lot coming from a kid who really doesn't like math much.
"Lessons with Robin"
- Shadi, Cuyahoga Falls, OH on 1/4/16I enjoy Robin's teaching style, because of the fact that he shows you the problem and explains how to do the problem.
Another good thing about Robin's teaching style is that he gives you examples until you fully understand what your doing.
"Knowledgeable"
- Greg, Ravenna, OH on 12/30/15He has a vast knowledge of mathematics I was hoping for to help my son where he needs it. My son enjoys his techniques and is looking forward to the next session. I wish I would have done this weeks prior!
"Patient and very clear tutor"
- Emily, Akron, OH on 10/6/15Robin was great. He's very patient and great at explaining things, not just what but exactly how to cultivate a better understanding. He helped me study for my upcoming physics test and to be able to apply problems without confusion. He also gave some great testing method suggestions, and I would absolutely recommend him as a tutor.
"Time very well spent!"
- S. G., Aurora, OH on 1/11/15My son felt the tutoring/review session with Robin was time well spent. Robin listened to his concerns, reviewed the material, answered questions, clarified confusion and spent the amount of time that my son felt was necessary to review. Robin's response time was very quick and scheduling was easy. Both were accomplished with a couple of quick emails. Robin met my son at the library. He was punctual and my son said that he was on task and kept my son focused. My son has expressed interest in a follow up review/tutor session! Robin knows his AP Physics!
"Excellent Knowledge and Method"
- Kimberly, Richfield, OH on 6/23/14Robin was able to establish a connection to the material and my daughter's learning style quickly. She asked for more sessions soon after he left the first day. The tutoring was in Calc-based Physics. He clearly has a good knowledge of higher level math.
"Great Tutor. Prepared and Organized"
- Abdullah, Kent, OH on 4/26/14Mr. Robin is a great tutor. He came prepared with all the documents we needed and we didn't lose a second looking for an equation or something like that; it was all there.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
