First, the results. Our daughter started working with Sol in the fall. She was struggling to get a C in Algebra II. She eventually got a solid B, and was very happy. In addition, she took the Calculus BC AP test this spring. She received a 4 on the BC test and a 5 "sub score" on the AB portion of the test. The previous year she had received a 2 on the Calculus AB AP test. So she went from a 2 to a 5. We were very happy with the results. As for the process, Sol was very kind and patient. He was always punctual, and flexible about accommodating our schedule. Most importantly though, he was very creative and intuitive in helping out daughter. He analyzed the problems she was having and tailored the sessions to address her weaknesses. He did not come in with a set approach that he uses with every student. He was able to communicate well with our daughter and continued to adjust his help to address her changing needs. Before he became a tutor he worked professionally in software development and aerospace. I think that real-world application of a scientific education may be why he seems to listen better than some tutors coming from a strictly academic background. Whatever the reason, he did a great job and we recommend him very highly.
