Incredible tutor for Calculus and SAT Math Test Prep

My daughter needed immediate help with her Pre-Calculus class and reaching out to Lydia for tutoring was the best decision I ever made! From my daughter's first lesson with Lydia things all started to fall into place and make sense. Lydia's knowledge, approach to teaching and compassion for her students is the perfect combination for success. My daughter finished her Pre- Calculus class with an A! She continued lessons with Lydia for Calculus and remained an A student! My daughter was confident and well prepared. Lydia began tutoring my daughter with SAT Math Test Prep and my daughter increased her Math score enough to achieve her goal of a full scholarship! Lydia is organized and always punctual for lessons. She is very easy to communicate with and gives detailed progress reports. If you are wanting to prepare your child for success and understanding of Math; Lydia is the only tutor I can recommend. Working with Lydia is like having your child receive private one on one lessons with the best teacher a student could have throughout their school career.

Patient, kind, and effective tutor

Lydia has been working with my daughter- a high school freshman- on content from Geometry Honors. She has been an excellent tutor- taking time to explain concepts clearly, providing additional questions so that my daughter can work with her on new content, and serving as a positive coach the whole way through. We really appreciate Lydia's tutoring style. My daughter has learned a lot from Lydia's teaching, and has an A in her class!

Amazing SAT Math Tutor - so grateful!

I have been extremely pleased with Lydia as our SAT tutor for my daughter. After just two sessions, my daughter feels significantly more confident in math, especially in areas she hadn’t revisited in years. Lydia has a wonderful way of breaking down complex concepts, making them accessible and understandable. What truly sets Lydia apart is her warm and friendly demeanor. My daughter feels comfortable and supported. I highly recommend Lydia for anyone seeking an effective and compassionate tutor!

Molly began the lesson after a long day at school and soccer practice. Molly ended her first session totally energized and excited about the help Lydia provided. Terrific.

Help a lot!

We had a wonderful experience with the Algebra 2 tutor. My daughter was very pleased with her session, finding it extremely helpful for her understanding of the subject. The tutor was knowledgeable and was able to explain concepts in a way that made them easily comprehensible to her. We were satisfied with the service and will definitely use it again when she needs help in the future!

Great communication and patient!

Lydia was very helpful in gaining better understanding of logarithms (pre-calc). We will be scheduling more sessions! I appreciated that she took the time to ask some background questions about math aptitude and other challenges in math courses before pre-calc level to better understand the student!

Great First Algebra w/ Trig Lesson

We didn’t have anything particular that we wanted to work on, as school just started, so Lydia gave him some work to assess him and then lay laid foundation for us to build on in future lessons.

Amazing Teacher

She is amazing and breaks everything down for you to understand. She is a great tutor and she doesn’t mind explaining anything subject or topic. She makes sure you understand the material.
