Victor met with my daughter yesterday and was able to review the chemistry and show her how to do whatever she was struggling with. He showed her that she knew more than she realized, and he was really nice! We are so glad that we got her such a fine tutor!

I love that Victor keeps me in the loop with my daughter's tutoring sessions! He communicates his plans regarding the assignments he assigns to my daughter, and even suggested a game plan for the future. Also, I love that Victor can be easily contacted and shows up on time for every session. I'm really excited for my daughter to work with Victor consistently on a weekly schedule.

Update: Victor is truly an excellent tutor. We are now into the new school year (2013-2014) and my daughter as well as the family is confident that she will do excellent in her courses because of Victor's teaching and mentor-ship. The value you receive that makes Victor a stand out is, for example, when my daughter gets a 95 or 100 on her quizzes and tests he doesn't let her feel that's it. This is where his positive mentoring comes into play. He gives her more challenging examples and lets my kid know that she doesn't have limits. That is invaluable. Feb. 2013: I am very happy with Victor and his tutoring. He is awesome! I look forward to working with him again. He is truly one of the best and you will get more than your money's worth. I came to him in a rush because my daughter's teacher unfortunately had to take a leave of absence for an emergency at home. Thus she left no time to review for the mid-term and she wasn't available for most of the marking period. My daughter and I were extremely concerned about her being prepared for the test. I spoke to 2 tutors who were definitely qualified for the job, but they said because of the short notice they could not commit (week and 1/2 prep time). Victor never hesitated and my daughter got the highest grade (90) on the AP Biology Exam out of all 4 classes! I am now seeking him out for the final and state test.

I came to Victor last minute knowing nothing a week before my final for pre-calculus. In just a few lessons, he was able to teach me both the theory and high yield strategies for the entire syllabus. What made his tutoring different from my classes and what made it more interesting in the end was the way he correlated topics like limits and logarithms to things I am encountering now in calculus and biology. He is patient, a great motivator, and his affable personality makes it easy to express any questions I usually feel too reserved to ask.

Victor knows his Math. For anyone needing help you should know what I mean. I truly recommend Victor!

I provided information to Victor prior to our having met. I have to take a test the Praxis II for High School math. Victor did an excellent job of analyzing the information I provided and highlighting the areas I needed to work on as well as provided insight into how I could break down the problems into a more simplistic fashion. The result was an ability on my part to really accelerate my understanding of the material and how to strategically work the problems. He also presented the problems in such a way that would simulate the test and test taking scenarios. I was very impressed and would highly recommend his services. Indeed, following our session together, a student a table over in the library immediately came over and introduced herself and asked if he would be able to provide tutoring for her physics exam. Victor was able to, gave her his number and informed her of the times he would be able to work with her. I think this is about as good a recommendation as one could give: clearly this student was impressed by his methods and abilities.

Victor is an excellent tutor. He not only helped my daughter understand the subject matter, he also cultivated in her a love for Chemistry. Since our schedule is on a need be basis, whenever that need arises, Victor will find a way to help his student. There was a time when my daughter needed help for a test and Victor was in Taiwan on a vacation. He still found a way to help my daughter that time via skype. Very impressive. Not to mention very resourceful. But most importantly, he explains things clearly and in a way that his student can understand.

Victor is a great Math teacher. He explains the problem thoroughly. I am pleased with his teaching method. My son took few classes with him and I can see the improvement in his SAT.
Mrs. Gail M. from Englishtown, NJ
Victor is a talented tutor. He was very efficient in his teaching methodology and very knowledgeable in his subject area. We were fortunate to have found a tutor of his caliber. Unfortunately, more time will be required on this end to prepare properly. Therefore, we have postponed tutoring and test temporarily.

Very patient and understanding, great tutoring skills, and he has been one of the most helpful tutors I have had!!
