Hi, I truly love working with middle and high school students. I’m a high-energy tutor who combines great humor with intense focus. I do a lot of test prep tutoring and can teach to the test, and yet I consider every tutoring session an opportunity to both build general academic confidence as well as develop intuitive and intellectual problem-solving skills. I have twenty-five years' experience teaching middle school and high school students, and in that time I completed my doctoral and post...

Carlo is an excellent tutor. He is intelligent and patient, and provides clear explanations/feedback. My daughter has shown dramatic improvement in her knowledge/skills across all of the material they are covering. She has a much deeper knowledge of math now. She is also able to complete math problems much more quickly and effectively. Carlo has strong interpersonal skills, and my daughter always enjoys the tutoring sessions. I am thankful to have found Carlo!

Carlo is an outstanding tutor. He tutored our fourteen year old daughter over a period of about four months in Social Studies, typically three times per week. He developed an immediate rapport with her, and quickly devised a teaching plan suited to her (and our) requirements. He clearly has a superior command of his subject, and transmitted his enthusiasm to our daughter. She looked forward eagerly to her sessions with him. Her subsequent familiarity with the course material -- 19th and 20th century American history -- has been a source of some astonishment to her school teachers, and this success is to be attributed to her work with Carlo. Carlo is reliable as well as flexible, very professional and is clearly passionate about teaching. We would recommend him most highly as an excellent tutor in every respect.

Carlo was wonderful! Not only did he follow up with me a week after he helped me but he also gave me feedback after my lesson! I learned so much from him on how to use Excel that I was able to figure out how to use it for an urgent project! I recommend him for any problems you are having with Excel!

We found Carlo to be smart, responsive, knowledgeable and informative. My son was very happy with his lesson, and Carlo not only was well prepared, but he also seemed to relate to him very well.
