I am a recently retired high school mathematics teacher with 43 years of experience at both independent and public high schools. During that time I have taught all standard high school mathematics courses at basic, college preparatory and honors levels. I also have experience in teaching small groups of students during summer school sessions. Besides tutoring individual students I always made myself available to give individual extra help to students in my classes.

Extremely knowledgeable and experienced. Excellent tutor experience
Allen was expert in helping prepare our son for a pre-calc Honors exam. He was patient, thorough, extremely clear in his explanations. He has a wonderful calm and focused manner, providing a supportive atmosphere while clearly demonstrating rigor and expertise. I recommend him highly and without reservation. It was a superb experience and we will reach out to Allen again for math tutoring.

Miracle working life saver.
I was taking an accelerated 6-week pre-calculus course, and when trigonometry exposed itself to me I was caught off guard as to how many concepts I had to absorb within the amount of time provided. Allen taught me all facets of trigonometry required for pre-calculus in a timely fashion. In addition, Allen helped me raise my grade from an 85% to a 92%, as he is seasoned veteran in the math game.

Very knowledgeable
Allen was very patient. He came prepared. He took his time to explain things clearly. He spent more time to reinforce those areas where more explanation was needed. Highly recommend! We will use his services in the future.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor for my 16 year son
Allen was exceptional. My son started a portion of Honors Pre-Calc focusing on trig that he was struggling to understand. My 16 year old said he was beyond patient, explaining things multiple times when needed, encouraging, and knew his stuff. By the end of the 2 sessions, he was fully up to speed and ready to move forward with the content. If needed we would use Allen again. Thank you!

Effective Tutor
Allen was able to explain to my 16 year old in an hour pre-calc concepts with which she has been struggling. His manner is quiet and he is effective. Based on this session, we recommend him highly

Knowledgeable and patient tutor
Allen showed up on time and reviewed the current Calculus work that my son was having troubles understanding. His pace was perfect for my son to follow and he ended up staying longer than expected. It was a great experience.
