"Excellent Tutor"
- Megan, Allison Park, PA on 6/2/17Never imagined an online tutor could be so much better than in person. George was accommodating to schedule and really assisted my dons struggles. We will be contacting him again when the next school year starts!
"Unusual approach that works"
- Steve, Hastings On Hudson, NY on 5/23/17George focuses more specifically than other tutors on a review of problems which have been worked out by students. It's a very effective approach. After on session wee plan to use him regularly.
"Expert in the Mathematics Field and a Clear, Confident Teacher"
- Stewart, San Juan Capistrano, CA on 4/5/17George is an expert in the Mathematics field. His over 8 years experience has enabled him to tackle any question I challenged him with.
Unlike other online tutors, George is a professional; he has seen it all. I enjoyed this level of professionality. His teachings are crisp, and to the point.
"Great tutor, really wants to make sure you understand"
- Alan, Dolton, IL on 4/1/17Went over divergence test concepts such as ratio and root test. Also how to find the interval and radius of convergence of a series/function. Was very helpful and knowledgeable, would Definitely get help from him in the future
"Great tutor"
- Christopher, Staten Island, NY on 3/31/17George and I have had several sessions already in Calculus 3. He was better at explaining concepts over the course of this past week than my professor was all semester. He asks for all the materials in advance and comes to every session prepared. There's also never a minute wasted during each session. If I get stuck on a problem he stops and goes over the concepts to make sure I can fully understand and be able to answer the questions on my own, which is great because he won't be sitting next to me during the exams. He's hands down the best tutor I've ever had.
"Effective teaching style"
- Jolanta, Harrisburg, PA on 2/24/17Taking AP Calculus is no easy task, but George really helped me understand the concepts we learn in class. I started the year with poor grades and after George became my tutor my improvement was so dramatic that I earned a perfect score on my midterm. I have had tutors in the past, but none came close to George's tutoring, as his teaching style is extremely effective and he really understands the problems I am having and knows how to fix them. I couldn't be happier with the results and it is all thanks to George!
"Excellent tutor"
- Marilyn, Fort Lauderdale, FL on 2/13/17Great college calculus teacher. He has helped improve my grades as well as my overall understanding of the concepts. I highly recommend him as an on-line tutor. He makes time for his students.
"Very helpful!"
- Maureen, Burt, MI on 1/18/17My daughter needed some assistance with some AP calculus problems prior to an exam. It was on very short notice and she said the problems they went over made much more sense afterwards. The tutoring was very helpful! - Thank you again George!
"Good teacher, walks you through each step"
- Henry, Maywood, NJ on 12/20/16We started with algera then found a gap with fractions. We covered the fractions thoroughly, it was very helpful. Uses easy to understand examples helped everything fall into place. Looking forward to the next lesson on algebra.
"Very knowledgeable in differential equations"
- Saud, Middletown, PA on 12/12/16Great session. Helped me prepare for a test very well. Would definitely take a session again if needed. Great rate as well compared to others, Meets at desired location no problem. Responds to messages and texts promptly and quickly.
"AP BC Calculus Help"
- Kimberly, Hummelstown, PA on 12/6/16George was able to break down concepts for AP BC Calculus in terms my daughter could understand and taught her different techniques for problem solving that she didn't otherwise know. Thank you. She's looking forward to her next session!
"Making real progress"
- Carrie, Broomall, PA on 11/11/15Our son is making real progress in working with George and has a much better grasp of calculus, it has made a big difference!
"Very relaxed, easy to get along with, patient and knowledgeable."
- Averie, Landisburg, PA on 7/14/15We just met George tonight for the first time and I have to say that my 16-year-old son was extremely nervous and feeling inadequate. After meeting George and working with him tonight he smiled the whole ride home! He just needed a boost of confidence and the right tutor! My son is looking forward to working with him more and excited about learning again! Thank you George!
"Super tutor"
- Eric, Hershey, PA on 12/9/14George is extremely knowledgeable and doesn't require any catch up time. Meaning he can see what you are doing and hit the ground running, almost like he was doing the very problems in the car on the way over. He's extremely patient and knows multiple ways to do every problem, which is a real help if you have a mental block in a certain area. He's punctual and very flexible to schedule with. I needed an A to get into PA school and it looks like I'll get one. I'm pretty sure I would not have accomplished this without his help as I am anything but math minded. I even got the best grade in the class on two separate tests. I am very satisfied.
"Outstanding Teacher"
- Jordan, University Park, PA on 8/12/14There aren't enough words of praise to attribute to the extraordinary math tutor we have for our son this summer. There's something to be said when a tutor, on his own, brings flash cards that he prepared. George is capable, reliable, professional, and extremely patient. His teaching style is individually focused on the needs of the student. It has been incredible to watch our son's confidence and trust in himself build as he took not just Calculus 1, but Calculus 2. We highly recommend George and we are extremely grateful.
"Great tutor! Very knowledgeable!"
- Britney, Spring Valley, CA on 7/20/13Great tutor who really knows what he is talking about. He came very prepared to make the most of the session. Instead of just showing how to do problems, he makes sure that you understand and can do them on your own. He is very patient and really knows how to teach even the more difficult concepts of upper-division mathematics.
