Don't merely treat symptoms, solve the root problem.
I am a fun-loving, pragmatic, task master. I believe in making math fun through the use of computational tricks and short cuts that are often no longer taught in schools. I recognize that some students are handicapped when their learning style does not match the style of their teacher; so I adapt. I believe that understanding the "why" and "when" is perhaps more important than the "how". I have graduate degrees in Systems Management, Business Administration, and Industrial Engineering. I...

Microsoft Project
I have been a user of MicroSoft Project for many years. I have taught project and construction management for the US Army Engineer school, set up project plans with over 4,000 activities, and taught project management to undergraduates and MBA students.
business
I have over thirty years of experience working in a variety of industries. At various times I have been the project manager for major software implementations and upgrades, "run the numbers" on potential merger/acquisition targets, and designed product distribution facilities. I have used my MBA degree while teaching college courses in leadership, operations management, statistics, and strategy.

GRE
With the increasing reliance on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and the sharply decreased cost of data storage, many companies are collecting tremendous quantities of data. The ability to understand, analyze, interpret, explain, and present quantitative information is likely to become more important in the coming years. The Math portion of the GRE is challenging for many students. I actually enjoyed that section and did quite well. I appreciated the precise wording and variety of the questions.
government & politics
When the issue of "fairness" arose in one of my classes, I did a deeper dive into the subject. That work culminated in an informal presentation at a faculty meeting in the Spring of 2013 that began with discussions among some of the Founding Fathers of the United States and progressed through more recent issues.

finance
Business Mathematics is an applied branch of Mathematics that centers on financial challenges. Perhaps the most important question in business mathematics is to predict the time value of money given certain assumptions. For example, would it be better to receive $100 today or $110 in eighteen months? The answer, of course, depends on the assumed rate of return which may be available in alternative investments.

Mr. M is a wonderful teacher. He moved my son from a low grade to a grade of B in pre-calculus in just a few months.
Joana M. from New York, NY
Larry is a star! His advice and teaching was really very helpful. I was struggling with an SPSS assignment and didn't know were to start, what I should be searching for or where I should be putting my focus, but after talking to Larry, I had a much clearer sense of direction with the assignment. I can't thank him enough. Highly recommended!
Timothy O. from Naperville, IL
Larry know these subject areas well statistics, analytics and modeling. He is very helpful and I would highly recommend him.
Chandola T. from Lombard, IL
As an older student I found Mr. M. to be very patient and understanding. He met me at my level guiding through some very complex equations all the while being supportive and encouraging through the process. I really value and appreciate his willingness to help me become successful in Chemistry.
Shelia C. from Chicago, IL
Larry was an excellent tutor who assisted me in the completion of a Micro Soft Project. The skill was very new to me and my company expected top notched feedback in micro soft project format. Larry met with me at my job, at my school and again at my job! We had over 70 occurrences to enter. Needless to say upon presentation of the project my Senior Leadership was amazed! The project was profession and in synch with the organizations goals. I want to thank Larry for his professionalism. Although my feedback is over a year old, my organization still thrives on that project which concludes in 2015! Larry I can't thank you enough!
Marian E. from Paris, TX
Larry was an excellent tutor. He was prompt in calling me for assistance. He was able to solve my SPSS issue in less than an hour. He was professional and knowledgeable.
Andrea W. from Chicago, IL
Larry is well-versed in mathematics and although he hadn't seen the material in a while, he was still able to pick up on it quickly and break them down to an understandable level. Extremely patient and knowledgeable in mathematics!!
Michael T. from Mount Prospect, IL
Larry did a very nice job with my son on a very difficult subject - AP Statistics. Larry made the material simple and easy to understand. I would highly recommend Larry.
John M. from Evergreen Park, IL
Great tutor. He is enthusiastic and really works with the student's personality. He went out of his way to meet with my son and made it very convenient for me which is great when you have other children at home.
Tony L. from Plainfield, IL
Larry helped me in my discrete mathematics class. It was the most successful tutoring session I have had. I would highly recommend Larry to any one needing help in a math class
Diane W. from El Cerrito, CA
Larry not only knows his math, he has fun with it and can easily relate it to real life. I would recommend him.
Barb D. from Villa Park, IL
Larry taught my son very complex areas of physics, and was as flexible as possible about scheduling, which is so important for busy teens. My son feels confident and ready to tackle his exam!
Sheila T. from Downers Grove, IL
Makes complex calculus problems approachable with solid explanations. Meets student at their own level and elevates understanding of various concepts.
Anne B. from Willowbrook, IL
Larry took time to let my daughter feel comfortable with him before he tackled the course material. That made all the difference. She felt really good about the session and what she had covered.
