Amazing, patient, encouraging SHSAT Tutor

As PJ’s student, I can proudly say that PJ was a great tutor. I only had two weeks to prep for the SHSAT, a test I felt determined my life, and he helped me magnificently. PJ let me warm up to him tutoring, and math in general — since tutoring was a completely new experience for me. I went from a scared mess to confident in my ability for the test. I left his sessions smiling. I can never thank him enough. Sincerely, E Hi! Mom here. We had a wonderful experience working with Pero to prepare my child for the SHSAT. From the very first session, he made math concepts clear and easy to understand. My child felt more confident after each lesson and even looked forward to tutoring — which says a lot! Pero focused on strengthening key math topics, reviewing test strategies, and addressing areas where my child struggled. His lessons were well-structured, engaging, and always tailored to my child’s needs. We especially appreciated his patience, consistency, and ability to explain difficult problems in multiple ways until everything clicked. He was also an excellent communicator and very accommodating —considering we only had two weeks to prepare. By the end of the sessions, my child not only improved her math performance but also felt much more prepared and calm going into the exam. I highly recommend Pero to any parent looking for an experienced, supportive, encouraging, patient, and effective SHSAT math tutor.
