Andrew came out to us since the library was closed. I appreciate his flexibility. My son always builds confidence with Andrew. I appreciate his understanding and the extra time he spends working to organize my son to work for his goal.

Andrew has been very patient, and very helpful with our son. Our son has Aspergers and ADHD, but with the creative use of technology he keeps him engaged for a full hour.

Andrew has done an amazing job tutoring my teen daughter in math. He has lots of patience and she enjoys meeting with him. He makes the material very clear for her! Andrew is also very flexible with his schedule and always works with us if we need to make a change. I never have a problem getting a hold of him. I would highly recommend him to anybody looking for a tutor for their child!
Shane B. from Saint Charles, IL
I've been in education for many years. I understand good teaching. Andrew has demonstrated, time and time again, that not only does he have a strong content background with subjects my son needs help with, he also understands learning needs, study habits, and how to leverage technology as a tool to further build comprehension, interest and skills! Andrew has a great and comfortable personality, yet takes his work with my child seriously, always using his time productively. We were extremely fortunate to have found Andrew on WyzAnt. I would highly recommend him as a tutor!

We have been using Andrew's services for about 6 weeks. He tutors my 13 year old son (7th grade) 3 days a week. My son struggles academically and has additional challenges with ADHD and a math LD. Andrew has been very patient, encouraging and friendly with our son. In addition to reviewing homework, studying for tests and doing extra work via Kahn Academy, Andrew has helped him organize his planner and presents concepts in a way that my son enjoys. Andrew has also taken the initiative to communicate with my son's teachers to better understand how my son learns and what types of teaching methods are most effective. He is the most thorough tutor we have worked with to date. He understands the challenges of learning disabilities and ADHD and is always prepared and able to tackle any subject - math, science, social studies or language arts. Andrew also provides valuable feedback and daily reviews of his lessons with my son. I would highly recommend Andrew's services if you are in need of academic tutoring for your son or daughter.
