ADD/ADHD
My own son has ADHD, so I am very familiar with the challenges that this condition presents to the student. I have a lot of experience in both teaching and tutoring students with ADD and ADHD. The most important aspects to help them with is organization and to give them a sense that they can succeed despite the issues they have. Patience is the most important quality that a a tutor must have when dealing with students with ADD/ADHD.

Kim F. from Philadelphia, PA
We had to make a surprise visit to Bill's area near Kansas City, for a family emergency right before my son's first SAT. It could have been a disaster, but luckily we found Bill. He calmly came into the situation, was very organized, very encouraging, and in such a short time, helped my son raise his math score by 110 points! We like his work so much that we now arrange Skype lessons with Bill from our home on the East coast. I have absolutely no hesitation recommending Bill. He is the best tutor we have ever worked with!
Robin M. from Lees Summit, MO
This was our first meeting. Bill was prompt - he was there early and met us at the door. We had a very positive exchange. He was personable, professional, clear and precise. My son advised me the first lesson went well! I left believing if my son works hard, he can improve his ACT scores considerably.
Nicholas R. from Lawrence, KS
Bill M. is more than I expected for a tutor. He immediately engages his student and gives the student a sense of security to get the job done, and do it successfully. He goes out of his way to work with the student, and he takes it upon himself to provide tools needed for achievement. I highly recommend anyone that desires success in math to ask for Bill's services. If you want to succeed, Bill M. is the person to get because he has your back.
Patty H. from Prairie Village, KS
Bill really listened to my daughter and provided solutions to the areas she needed help. He cares about helping his students.
Jennifer R. from Overland Park, KS
Bill continues to be an excellent tutor. He is very punctual, flexible, professional and makes himself readily available. Above all, he is very knowledgeable of math concepts and teaches them in an understanding, patient manner. My son has enjoyed learning and meeting with him.
Donna B. from Kansas City, MO
I employed Bill a year ago to assist me with an educational hurdle. Now, he is assisting my son in preparation for his ACT. He helped me and has had an impact on my son's grades and willingness and enthusiasm to prepare for the ACT.
Stan J. from Overland Park, KS
Bill quickly exhausts any list of superlatives. Needed only seconds to understand the challenges I faced before sharing his vast experience and insights. I wish I had a position to hire him full time, 90 hours a week. Looking forward to our next most productive motivating session.
Karen P. from Overland Park, KS
This is the second year we have had Bill as a tutor. He has been a wonderful help to our kids in physics and upper level math. He uses his time well and kids are confident and happy they know the content when he leaves. We feel very fortunate to have found him!
Jasmine D. from Overland Park, KS
I highly recommend Bill. He is very enthusiastic and is very happy to help plus is very patient and thorough.
Jenny G. from Overland Park, KS
I think it was a good start. We hope to see results soon. I found Mr. M. to be an educated person who manages the concepts on Math that my son needs. My son is delighted, and we look forward for more lessons. Just Great. I am so happy to have Mr. M. as a tutor for my son.
Mark B. from Kansas City, MO
When my daughters normal Algebra 2 tutor could not make it to help review for a test, Bill helped at very late notice. My daughter said he was excellent at explaining and working with her.
Tamia R. from Kansas City, MO
Bill is very prompt and helpful. He goes out of his way to help and truly understands the material. Thanks Bill!
Pamela H. from Overland Park, KS
Though my high school senior is very disorganized and often unprepared, Bill is always able to find ways to help him, whether in working through concepts together, or reviewing material in a test. In two short months, with meetings less often than weekly due to our hectic schedules, my son has moved from test scores in the 40% range to 80-90%! It is such a relief to have him working with my son! Update 5/21/2014 - finals are now finished and my son passed! (Which seemed a very dim hope indeed in February!) The lessons Bill taught were miles above my son's understanding of previous material. I only wish we had thought of hiring him sooner!
Bob P. from Leawood, KS
Tutor was great at responding to emails and setting up a mutually acceptable tutoring schedule. For the tutoring sessions themselves, he was extremely punctual, efficient and a tremendous help to my daughter. I would highly recommend Bill M. for math support all the way up to collegiate level math studies.
Adrienne B. from Grandview, MO
Bill was just what our son needed. My son has a much better understanding of pre-calculus. Bill is very knowledgeable and flexible.
Susie B. from Shawnee, KS
Bill was able to fit my daughter in before her algebra II test. He was able to give her the confidence that she needed. She went from being stressed and worried to very sure of herself.
Richard M. from Shawnee, KS
Bill is a very personable and a solid professional. He gets right down to business and adapts perfectly to my sons pace and needs. The math learning websites he showed my son at the beginning of the year are just now being discovered by the math teacher. He provides excellent value.
Angela S. from Mission, KS
We have had Bill tutor our freshman three times now for Algebra 2. He knows the material and is great at explaining it. He is completely reliable and responsive.
Deborah A. from Olathe, KS
Andrew was much more confident after his meeting with Bill. He reports that Bill is very kind and patient and SUPER organized and prepared! This is a GREAT help for us as we finish the semester at Rockhurst University! Thank you so much!
Sally H. from Overland Park, KS
Bill tutored our high school junior son in Physics. Bill always came prepared, often bringing additional materials to review. He was always responsive to emails and was very flexible when it came time to schedule a session. I would highly recommend him.
Mitch R. from Overland Park, KS
Helped me get through my summer college physics class. Bill is able to walk you through every step to help you get to the right solution.
Tommy N. from Blue Springs, MO
Bill made me feel like my goals are totally within reach and he seems to have a systematic approach to getting me there. I appreciate his passion for what he does.
Denise F. from Kansas City, KS
He makes math and chemistry easy to understand. He is very patient. He meets our schedule. We love working with him.
Kevin M. from Olathe, KS
Bill provided exactly what I needed as a student. He was prepared for our meeting and actually beat me to the location and I was 25 minutes early. Bill was great to work with.
Cody K. from Stilwell, KS
Bill responded to our request within a few hours and was easy to communicate with. He quickly connected with my son at the tutor session and they were able to go through almost an entire AP Physics Unit in 1 hour. My son left the session with his confidence restored which was more valuable to me than the actual lesson! My son was initially not excited about having a tutor, but now that he has had a session I know he would not hesitate to meet with Bill again when he needs help. Thank you!
Meredith L. from Spring Hill, KS
To see a child actually look forward to getting help with a subject she has not liked for years is amazing! Thank you Bill!
Bryan M. from Leawood, KS
Very good start. He helped Andrew with graphing inequalities, and showing his work. We'll have one more session prior to Andrew's test and take it from there.
Emma V. from Prairie Village, KS
Bill always comes prepared with materials for me to work with, which I highly value. He is very helpful in every way!
Rachel A. from Lees Summit, MO
My son was very pleased with his first lesson and looking forward to his next one. He was very thorough and explained how he teaches and what to expect.
David B. from San Juan, PR
He's a great helping hand to help me teach myself Python. It was just the first session but he gave me great pointers and available resources I can review before our next session.
