Very Helpful and Knowledgeable Tutor

During this past school year I was in a AP Calculus class that I was struggling in, and was looking for tutors to help me study certain topics I didn't understand. I feel extremely lucky to have found Faraz, who helped me through this class. Faraz is very good at explaining complicated topics in very easily understandable ways, and breaks down difficult topics in ways that make them much easier to digest. I felt very comfortable asking him questions from my homework or classwork, because I leave every tutoring session having learned everything I went in wondering about and more. Thanks to Faraz's help, I not only passed my class with an A, but also scored a 5 on the AP exam. He is a extremely good teacher and I am very grateful for his help!

Excellent Teacher

Faraz explained some concepts of AP Calculus B/C to our son who was not too far off, but just kept making mistakes on the problems. Faraz really simplified the process and explained a set of rules to use to attack several types of problems in the future. Faraz really is efficient and clear in his explanations. Our family recommends him without hesitation. We will ask for Faraz to help with AP Chemistry in due course, and will work with him again on the Calculus.

Steve, 12 lessons with Faraz
Tutor responded:

Really enjoy working with both the kids in each of their subjects. Thank you for the positive feedback!

excellent

So glad and relieved I finally found Faraz. I have tried two other calculus tutors and they either didn’t know the material or weren’t able to explain how they arrived at the solution. Faraz knows his stuff and more importantly is able to explain the problem in a way I can understand. He is also readily available. I recommend!

Susie, 2 lessons with Faraz
Tutor responded:

Thank you so much for the feedback!!

Knowledgeable and teaches concepts well

Faraz has been great teaching my daughter in Calculus. She was struggling and falling behind before he worked with her and made her understand the concepts well and she is integrating much better in her class now and grades went up.
