Keith was a great tutor who provided me with easy to use math methods that helped me tackle math equations with efficiency. I was astounded by how easy and comfortable my approach to math is now with only 2 weeks of studying for my GRE test. Not only was he attentive towards my needs, he was very quick with answering calls and emails. I could tell Keith has had a lot of experience from students of all backgrounds through the support and levels of math he instructed me through. I was left with a yearning of more learning with Keith's tutoring program and my confidence in math has improved overall. He is definitely a great instructor who has many skills in teaching. I definitely encourage individuals who need a close and successful tutor to Keith.
Travis M. from Nicholasville, KY
Keith is a good tutor and what I needed to help me with giving me skills to prepare me for the reading PPST. He makes you work hard each day and gives you feedback that will make you confident come test day!
Lindsey B. from Lexington, KY
Keith was such a wonderful tutor and I highly recommend him! He is very flexible and always comes with a variety of materials to work with. I am new to the area and needed tutoring in Praxis math specifically. I learned so much from him and he helped me prepare for my test and taught me helpful strategies and different ways to think regarding math questions.
Holly H. from Lexington, KY
Keith really understood the struggle I had with taking my mathematics Praxis exam. After not passing it several times, Keith really pushed me by helping me practice over and over again with practice questions until I mastered it. He does not hesitate to tell anybody what you are doing wrong, and is extremely helpful in telling people how to improve. I really appreciate all of the help he has given me. Practice makes perfect, and Keith really helped me to improve and pass my exams in no time.
Gregory H. from Lexington, KY
Keith provides math tutoring services to our 6th grade son. We were looking for help in strengthening his math confidence and reducing math anxiety. Keith met and surpassed our expectations in several ways, including: providing clear, constructive, and meaningful instruction and also by being patient. Keith is extremely organized, very easy to contact and he appreciates good back and forth communication. Overall, we are very pleased with Keith's services and would highly recommend him.
Rhett T. from Lexington, KY
Keith was able to identify my weakness and set me upon the right path in a short period of time. He had less than a month. He taught me what I needed to know and gave me the confidence to perform. It made all the difference.
Shannon D. from Lexington, KY
Keith not only is knowledgeable of the subject matter, but he sincerely cares that our son progresses to his goal and then some! My son said he has learned more with Keith in a couple of months than he has his whole senior year. Thank you, Keith!!
Emily H. from Lancaster, KY
Keith has been great so far. He is easy to work with, and my son likes meeting with him each week. We plan to continue with Keith for as long as possible.
Elizabeth N. from Lexington, KY
My son has worked with Keith for almost a year now and the experience has been truly invaluable. My son has gone from a total lack of understanding of Science and Physics to really "getting it" and liking it. His test grades have been nothing less than an A or B. We are truly grateful for Keith's expertise. I like knowing that Keith is there when we need him.
Adam M. from Berea, KY
Keith is a great tutor. Keith has been helping me with the ASVAB and his methods really work. I've been taking practice test for the ASVAB at home, and my scores have improved a lot thanks to Keith. If you're wanting a better ASVAB score I highly recommended him as a tutor.
Mathilde J. from Lexington, KY
I have used Keith for multiple subjects throughout my last 2 years at UK and he helped me to ensure that I passed those classes! He is patient and more than willing to adjust to his students style! I highly recommend him!
Mary J. from Lexington, KY
So pleased how my son is progressing in his tutoring. Mr. C. knows exactly how to engage my son! I saw a wonderful, smiling kid tonight after his session. Thank you Mr. C!
ELdaa D. from Lexington, KY
My son is very happy with Mr. C he wanted to write down: "I am one of Mr. C's students and I cannot believe what I have accomplished just in two months. I have actually progressed twice as usual then with my math teacher. I am now twice as better in Pre-Algebra (Literally!!) than just two months ago. He really amazed me how great his tutoring is". Besides, as a mom, I can tell you that he is very respectful, formal and always on time person. Thank you Mr. C.
Jordan Nicole B. from Lexington, KY
I needed to pass the math portion of the Praxis exam in order to be accepted to my major at UK. I have always struggled with standardized math tests and this one was no exception. I missed passing by a few points and had only one more time to take the test again before the end of the year. Keith was easy to reach and very flexible in working around my finals schedule. He quickly assessed where my weaknesses were with the test, provided me with some important strategies for taking the test and I PASSED!!! I only met with him a few times before the test but his strategy in working with me was exactly what I needed to get those few extra points. He was a great tutor and I will definitely use him again when I have to take the next set of these exams! Thank you, Keith!
Grace M. from Georgetown, KY
Keith was aware of my son's LD and understood his limitations with respect to attention and time. He was very patient and both my son and I felt very comfortable with him. Definitely knew his Algebra II.
Sherry G. from Lexington, KY
And is able to assess their individual needs very well. Our daughter has been very resistant and unhappy with past tutors. I believe Keith listens and discerns the way a student learns best. We are grateful!
Regina H. from Lexington, KY
We have been working with Keith for only 2 months and I have seen a TREMENDOUS difference with my daughter's math scores. She is more confident in class and has gone from a "D" to an "A". He has a way with kids that gets them to focus. My daughter normally balks at doing homework. But when he's here she knows who is in charge. She sits, she focuses, and I can see a huge difference in her perception of her work. I love seeing her smile with pride.
Greg R. from Lexington, KY
This tutor was a great help to our son for a year and a half with the BYU independent study course, especially in algebra. He was very patient in explaining such a difficult course to our son, who has had such a hard time in the past with math. He is reliable and on-time. He was willing to try different techniques in tutoring. This tutor is generally a nice person, and our son enjoyed the sessions. Our son ended up with a B+ final grade in algebra, which is a testament to this tutor's abilities. We highly recommend Keith C.
Vanessa S. from Lexington, KY
Today, 6 2, 2015 is my first tutoring session with Mr. Keith. However, he taught me how to solve word problems something that I have struggled with fr years. Things that I like about Mr. Keith's tutoring sessions includes, he explains each problem as well as provides examples.
Elizabeth G. from Richmond, KY
I reached out to Mr. C when I needed help to pass the math and science Praxis II tests. I was able to contact him easily by email or phone, as well as set up lessons at my convenience. After a month and a half of tutoring, I improved my math score by 30 points and passed! I also improved in science and got a passing score! I couldn't have done it without Mr. C. He was very encouraging, offered great test taking advice, and continued to provide me with challenging practice questions similar to those on the actual test. I highly recommend Mr. C to anyone who needs that extra push to pass a tough test.
Matt H. from Louisville, KY
Taught me some quick tips for test taking and managing my time better during test. Better yet, gave me the confidence to test well. My score bumped 24 points and I passed!!!

Matthew D. from Lexington, KY
Our child struggles with math and avoids it at all costs, but after her session with Keith she came out confident and stated that she had a good time. Thanks Keith.
Matt H. from Lexington, KY
Keith is a tutor who is best suited for those who struggle with math. As a student looking to conquer the GRE Math portion, I had thought Keith would be the key to unlocking it. I had taken the time to go through a GRE study book's math test and write down my process and answers hoping that Keith would be able to review it and see where my strengths and weaknesses lied. When I handed it to him, Keith set it aside, handed me a little notebook of his own questions, and then told me to work on those. While I did that, instead of reviewing my work, he pulled out a laptop and played on it instead. Keith's teaching style is to aid you when you need someone to explain things, and he can do that. But for me, who needed someone to help enhance my math, he had nothing to offer; he even said such at the end of the session. **My biggest warning for those who would seek out Keith for GRE Math is that he is on the cusp of becoming outdated. The notebook that he had me work in had a large amount of content that is not in any of the three GRE study books that I have studied.** Lastly, there were some issues with professionalism...he showed up 15 minutes late because of a flat tire, which did not bother me much, I worked on my math in the meantime. But then we neared the end of the second hour he let me know that he had scheduled another student for the same hour and offered to charge me for 30 minutes of the hour...had I not already arrived that his tutoring wouldn't have worked, I would have been very upset. I instead thanked him for his time and left an hour early.
Pamila T. from Richmond, KY
The practice problems are helping me see what I need to work on. I agree with Keith's notes and will acknowledge my phobia and become more confident in myself.
