Total game changer

I sought a tutor help about half way through my semester. I was a little unsure at first because I figured my Astronomy grade was far past recoverable. I've always had a huge issue with math related subjects so doing both Astronomy and a Stats class was a bit daunting. Jason made me feel very at ease and helped break down the Astronomy concepts into something I could wrap my head around. Each lesson when I met with him consisted of going through each problem. If he didn't know something off the top of his head we took the time to learn the idea together so I could fully grasp what was going on. In terms of my Stats class he helped me by working through like problems. At the end of the tutoring I managed to bring a complete washed out grade up to a B in a very short amount of time I never did well in any straight math class but this semester I was able to pull out an A for the first time in ages. Jason was a massive part in helping me out this semester and I would recommend him to anyone who needs help for a very reasonable price. I am also an older student so his approach to helping me learn was very welcome, I like to work towards something together instead of just being told how to do something.
