This graduate of Dartmouth College and the University of Wisconsin, Madison is a patient and excellent tutor who is well versed in a wide variety of subjects that have as a common theme that they are mathematically oriented. I am a retired financial executive going back to work to support two young daughters about to start college back East. It's rare to find a tutor who has had more than 100 credit hours in college and graduate level math. I am a graduate of Dartmouth College with a major in...

Accounting and finance are two topics with which I am very familiar. I was a career banker for 30 years and about half that time was spent lending to large and small businesses with a bit of personal lending thrown in the mix. My MBA and PhD provided plenty of academic background in these subjects and I have taken a number of courses and seminars in these subjects more recently, As these subjects have become increasingly mathematical in their approach, I have found my own strong math background incredibly valuable in understanding the more quantitative approaches to these subjects.

I took an online Business Statistics and Quantitative Analysis course online, which seemed impossible. The professor that ran this course did not explain anything, went through information too quickly, and did not go over any examples. Students were basically left to figure everything out for themselves. I felt completely overwhelmed and debated withdrawing, as I was certain that I would fail this course. Luckily, I found Terry through WyzAnt. We met in person twice for tutor sessions. Two sessions is all it took for me to understand the fundamentals and complete the remainder of the course on my own. I received my final grade today, and I passed with an A!! Terry is very patient, kind, knowledgeable, and made me feel confident in this course. If you are struggling, email Terry and I'm certain he can help!!

Dana F. from Santa Monica, CA
I highly recommend Terry. Terry tutored my daughter and helped her with high school math. He is an excellent tutor. He prepares for each session and is very knowledgeable about the subject, very patient and adjusts his teaching to the needs of the student.
Erin L. from Studio City, CA
Terry is a very patient tutor and person. He is available by phone and email. He is definitely willing to put in the effort to help you if you're willing to put in the effort as well. I am very satisfied with his help and I would suggest him to anyone who is struggling with statistics, whether it's psychology stats or econometrics.
Kat S. from Santa Monica, CA
My first meeting with Dr. Terry was a very pleasant experience. He was very knowledgeable and had the patience to go over my project, brainstorm ideas, and explain in detail the exciting and complex subject of creating a reliable database. He was willing to listen, understand my concerns, and help me set a starting point for my project. He is very intuitive, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend Dr. Terry to anyone.
Emir P. from Santa Monica, CA
I am a PhD candidate at the American College in the program of Financial and Retirement Planning. I hired Terry to help me with what is considered the toughest course in the program: ECONOMETRICS. The class moved quickly through complex areas and this necessitated my meeting with Terry on an at least a weekly basis. Terry was very accommodating on meeting me near my home and at hours conducive to my schedule. In addition, Terry always came well-prepared and consistently advanced our prior week's game plan. I was also able to communicate with Terry by email and by phone, which greatly helped matters. Terry helped me immensely in better understanding the statistical and mathematical concepts in econometrics. This enabled me to improve my quiz grades as well as homework assignments. My final project was greatly enhanced by Terry's insights and SAS printouts. When it comes to statistics and econometrics, I highly recommend Terry in terms of both expertise and engaging personality.
Franck O. from Los Angeles, CA
This tutor is very patient. He takes his time to listen to the students. He is a subject matter expert due to his experience. He will make the session fun for you, believe me. I strongly recommend this tutor.
Sara H. from Canoga Park, CA
Terry is definitely a very knowledgeable tutor. I feel that I learned the concepts really well. I totally recommend Terry to other students. Five Star.
Carter W. from Malibu, CA
Terry helped me with a online business statistic course through the Harvard Business School. I passed! Three months later, I am back working with him to prepare for a Real Estate Financial Underwriter interview. Terry worked hard for my specific areas of study and explained finance/business stat clearly. He prepared very well before my study session and followed up after the session.
Erin B. from Pacific Palisades, CA
Terry was very patient teaching my daughter new concepts in Math. She just started 5th grade and was struggling.
Lindy H. from Malibu, CA
Terry is very reliable, personable, prepared, encouraging, patient, and makes intimidating math concepts understandable. He makes sure he is available before all quizzes and tests. Sessions with Terry have have greatly improved my son's math skills and confidence. My son looks forward to his sessions.
Charlene D. from Pacific Palisades, CA
Terry is the best tutor ever! He has an ability to know where the student is at and if they're getting it! He is great at making things clear and easy to understand! He knows how to break down complex equations into easy to follow steps that work!
Kimball W. from Los Angeles, CA
As I said in my first review of my son's lesson with Terry, my son thought Terry was great and wanted another session. My son just had round two -- this time for an upcoming test as opposed to a quiz -- and now feels even better about him! Two thumbs up.
Quinn A. from Northridge, CA
Terry is patient and a great problem solver. If you have a difficult mathematics course he will help you get through the course. I thought I was going to flunk a course, but he helped me pass, which saved me time and money.
Shelley W. from Woodland Hills, CA
Terry helped me to understand the concepts and was patient. He makes himself available to help when needed. Thank you Terry.
Peggy N. from North Hills, CA
Dr. F is amazing explains everything into simple form and asks what did I learn, which I truly appreciate. I cant thank him enough.
Julianna A. from Calabasas, CA
Terry helped me with my Microeconomics final exam material. I will definitely use his help again. Because of his expertise and patience, I was able to understand the complicated material my professor was unable to explain, and through a simpler perspective! Terry was over wonderful!!
