Duncan

Ian S. from Roseville, CA

Duncan was able to figure out what our son needed in short order and put together a plan that worked to perfection with a quick turnaround of 3 weeks. Lifesaver!

In efforts to preserve my GPA, I previously withdrew, twice, from Statistics for Social Sciences due to failing grades. I found WyzAnt and Duncan. With Duncan’s tutoring, I went from two failed attempts to a strong A with a 96% and preservation of my overall GPA. I am now working with Duncan in the next level of statistics, Statistics for Psychology. I received an A, 93%, for my first homework packet and have the confidence I will close this academic degree with another A, due to Duncan’s soft skills and dedication. He possesses the ability to meet his students in their own communication style that helps them reach understanding. Duncan also possesses the skill of observation, allowing him to pinpoint areas where you are weak to assist in understanding and excelling process. Duncan is also flexible with scheduling with proper notice, and is very easy to work with. His rates are realistic and reasonable for most, to include college students on their own. I highly recommend Duncan as a great tutor who will assist you in going far in your pursuit of higher education.

Duncan is exceptional with his work. As unenthusiastic when it comes to math with my son, Duncan can make it more workable for Him is a tremendous feat. I would not hesitate to recommend Duncan to anyone.

Joanna L. from Fair Oaks, CA

My fist impression of Duncan is that he is intuitively versed in and knows a great deal about mathematics. He has been very helpful in the instruction of my son as he continues to gain a greater sense of Geometry. My son and I are happy to report that he has given some keen insight into how to approach Geometry and helped him to master some of the more difficult concepts when it comes to proofs. We will continue with this tutor and we as excited to see how much further he can push our son.

Christina W. from West Sacramento, CA

Duncan is a great math tutor. I am studying for the GRE and he broke down the math problems in an easy way that I could understand.

Lisa G. from Granite Bay, CA

Duncan was very thorough in determining what we were looking for in a tutor - someone to introduce the concepts of calculus prior to taking CalcAB this fall. I particularly appreciated that he asked if my son was "on board" with summer tutoring. In the initial session, he evaluated the current level of my son's math skills, introduced him to new concepts, and helped set some goals. They met once a week during the summer to review the assignment for the previous week, clarify any issues, and move on to new material when deemed appropriate. Although my son hasn't mastered Calculus, he is familiar with the concepts and will enter his class in the fall with confidence. This is exactly what we had hoped for, and Duncan achieved this goal with patience, enthusiasm, and some useful practical advice. Expectations met! Thank you Duncan.

Joan I. from Sacramento, CA

Since my son started working with Duncan, he finally gets the concept of math. Duncan is wonderful in every way. He has also become a mentor to my son in other subjects. My son is actually learning how to study with Duncan's guidance. He has slowed down and his work is organized for the first time. Duncan is a treasure.

Zachary F. from Sacramento, CA

I have been tutored by Duncan for a few months now and he has been a great help to me in my college algebra class that I've been taking. He always goes at my own pace and helps me to understand the concepts that I'm having trouble with. He's always able to meet me near my home and is available to meet with me weekly or more often if I need extra help that week. I would recommend Duncan for any math student who wants an approachable, knowledgeable tutor to help them with their math work.

Annice P. from Sacramento, CA

Duncan is a lifesaver. My daughter had given up in her trigonometry class. It's been 30+ years since I've taken any type of math and was never good at it. My daughter's grade was an F. She now has a solid B and has confidence. I would highly recommend Duncan to anyone who has a struggling math student. He was recommended to me by a parent. I am so happy that he was able to help my daughter.

Joanne L. from Roseville, CA

Duncan is doing great helping my daughter. He has helped her understand some of the lessons and the material that she didn't understand. She re-took a test and said she felt really good about the material. Thank you, Duncan.

Harold P. from Sacramento, CA

Duncan has a way to keep our son's attention to what is being explained. He knows the subject matter. He is also good at dealing with teenagers, he relates to them in a way that makes math not seem a threat to them.

Brad W. from Rocklin, CA

Duncan was able to get my son to engage in learning high school algebra without spoon feeding him the answers. My son learned during every lesson and was able to apply the material into his classroom assignments. His understanding improved as well as his grades.

Gina G. from Loomis, CA

Duncan was very on top of things! He made a huge effort to look over my lab homework prior to our meeting as well as pointing me in the right direction to get additional on-line assistance. If he were unsure of a concept (because this was biostatistics), he admitted that he was unsure and proceeded to look into my book further until it came together. The concepts were explained clearly and I think he will be extremely helpful in guiding me through this difficult course. His patience, friendly demeanor, and energy were fantastic!

Nicole A. from Sacramento, CA

Duncan is great. He listens and thinks very quickly, responding to the situation with agility. My daughter is a great deflector, but he doesn't let her get away with any shenanigans. For instance, after going over Geometry proofs he asked, "Do you get it?" and she said, "Yeah." Most tutors at this point are drawn into her complacency by her smile, but Duncan challenged her to prove that understands the concept by working a problem on her own. I am impressed by anyone who can see past the facade of understanding she props up.

Chase A. from Galt, CA

Duncan was great. He was patient and made learning much easier. He explains things in a way that helped me understand. I think the homework helped as we would go over it and this would help both of us figure out where I needed the most help. I would recommend for sure.

Charlotte K. from Folsom, CA

Excellent Tutor. He reviews the material & prepares for each session. My college daughter's grade has improved greatly! And now she can move on herself as she understands the statistics course. Thank you Duncan!

Carol W. from Elk Grove, CA

Our son has improved significantly thanks to his work with Duncan. We find Duncan to be very effective and flexible. We highly recommend him.

Sarah G. from Roseville, CA

My son Michael and I would like to thank Duncan M. for his help in preparing Michael to take the ASVAB test. Duncan had a great rapport with Michael and was there for him to answer any question while doing homework. Michael received a high enough score to join the Army and we thank Duncan for his time and effort to make Michael's dream come true. He couldn't have done it without Duncan and we would recommend him to anyone.

Alana E. from Roseville, CA

We had Duncan work with both of our high school kids in math, as they were struggling. He was very patient, organized, and diligent in covering the material needed to help them pass the class. Both kids worked well with him. We will be contacting Duncan in the fall when school resumes to help keep them up to date on math going forward.

Tracy A. from Elverta, CA

Duncan helped our son prepare for a entrance math exam for the WECA Electrical apprentice program which he passed with flying colors. We couldn't have done it without Duncan. Thank you Sir!

Lori H. from Sacramento, CA

We are just getting started. At the beginning of the meeting I was unclear as to what and where to begin. During the initial tutoring session we identified what I knew, and what I would need to know for the final exam. I now have focus areas, a study plan and a goal in place.

Gina M. from Carmichael, CA

Our 5th grader was falling behind on the concepts of fractions, percentages and decimal operations. We started working with Duncan one day a week. He worked with our son to ensure understanding of the weekly concepts and worked on improving his skills that would correlate with his weekly homework. After each session we received a detailed review of our son’s strengths and areas that needed improvement. With each passing week our son’s confidence in Math improved immensely. By the end of school, his final grade for the last trimester was a 3+, out of a 1-4 scale. Our son’s confidence and abilities grew immensely with Duncan’s support. For that, we are very thankful and would not hesitate to use Duncan again.

Dafna G. from Sacramento, CA

Duncan definitely knows his Statistics! He helped me gain a concept of understanding of Analysis of Variances (ANOVA and MANOVA), along with Linear Regressions. Duncan helped me increase my grade which was very important to me!

Deep S. from Elk Grove, CA

Duncan is helping me with the math portion with the asvab andhe is helping me so much for the test. I am confident I'll ace the asvab with his help. Great tutor

Holli R. from Sacramento, CA

I was completely lost in Biostatistics and was getting NO help from my online professor. I thought this class would prevent me from obtaining my PhD that I already worked hard on for a year and a half, but Duncan has been able to help me with all of my homework and I actually am beginning to understand the concepts. He breaks it down in a way that makes it understandable, and he uses everyday analogies so the information makes sense. After a while, I just started to understand the information and was able to tell him which equations we would use and I have only met with him twice so far...I will post another at the end of the tutoring but I would HIGHLY recommend him for anyone serious about learning statistics or anything he tutors. He completely understands the topic so he can explain it in multiple ways until you begin to understand it. He's amazing!

Dan A. from Granite Bay, CA

My daughter met with Duncan for the first time for help with AP Statistics. Duncan has already made her feel more comfortable and confident with the subject matter. He is a calming influence and his style makes it easy to feel relaxed and open to learning.

Lili Q. from Sacramento, CA

Duncan is a great tutor. I waited until the last minute to get help, but Duncan was able to come to my house on time within a 24 hour notice. He tutored me for two days for my Statistics final. I had a B in the class, and I needed to get a 95% average on my final to get an A in the class. We went over all my old tests and I felt very confident the two days of my final. Duncan knows what he's talking about, and when I wasn't sure of something, he was able to explain it so that I understood it *and* remembered it. I ended up getting an A in the class, which means I did get at least a 95% average on my final. I would definitely recommend Duncan if you need a Statistics tutor :)

Kim C. from Fair Oaks, CA

My daughters first lesson with Duncan went very well. He knows the subject matter (pre-calculus) very well and had no problem with communicating his knowledge. He was great about giving her opportunities to find the answer herself. Looking forward to the next lesson and to improved test scores!

Kathy H. from Roseville, CA

Duncan is a great instructor. He confirms objectives, and he listens to the needs and expectations of his clients. He has a pleasant demeanor and sense of humor which makes learning fun. He is clear, patient, and very knowledgeable. It is obvious that he truly cares about helping his students. I highly recommend him.

Tina H. from Roseville, CA

Thank you for meeting with us today to discuss the situation with Charles. We appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter!
