Expert Tutoring in Advanced Math

#1 Tutor on Wyzant in the Summer of 2015!!!! Covid-19 and remote classes have negatively impacted student learning and amplified the need for educational support as students who had never struggled before start to fall behind for the first time. However, any educational problem can be fixed, assuming the basics are mastered. There is hope. Above the level of hope is competence. I am referring here to the competence of a skilled tutor who has taken on hundreds of students over a fourtee...

I have helped dozens of students complete their General Education Development tests including Math, Science and the other subjects. My approach is tailored to each individual so that more time is spent on areas of weakness and less on areas of strength, although we do consolidate these by continuous practice. Most students I've worked with have limited time so my solution is to cut straight to the chase, give them the exact data they need and build the skills necessary to pass the test. Extraneous material is avoided at all costs.

Jennifer F. from Saddle River, NJ

Tapi is amazing!!!! He has helped to bring our son's grades up in both Physics and Algebra. Our son went from low Cs to Bs in one semester and he's heading towards As. Tapi is professional and really cares about his students. I couldn't recommend him more highly!!! 4/9/15. Zach has all As!!!! A+ in physics and math. Tapi is the absolute best.


Allen R. from Terrytown, NY

Tapi has shown to be a pro's pro. His professionalism and attention to detail is second to none. Whoever hires Tapi is lucky to get him. If I was a university I would hire him in a NY minute and give him tenure. Simply, he's the best tutor my daughter ever had.


Eduardo A. from Chappaqua, NY

Tapi has tutored our son for a few months now in 9th grade Enriched Algebra. He has been a great help in allowing our son to better understand the subject matter and make him feel at ease with it. Tapi not only has a nice personality and makes his student feel comfortable, but he explains everything in a manner that our son understands. He provided easy to understand explanations on concepts that my son had difficulty understanding and taught him short-cuts for calculations, which have been incredibly helpful. Our son has come a long way since he started working with Tapi! He now feels more confident, is completing his tests on time and gradually improving his grade. His confidence in math is back and he feels that he can continue to improve. He got the best grade thus far this year on his last test –87% --working with Tapi to prepare for the test. Tapi’s assistance has been invaluable! Not only because he simplifies things, but he is very pragmatic in his approach – always listening to what needs to be learned or covered and focusing on that. We highly recommend Tapi to anyone interested in helping their kid improve their math skills!!


Lisa G. from Thornwood, NY

My grades have changed so much! He is very patient and explains very well. If I need to hear it twice or more he is explaining it until I understand. My grade went from an F to an A average. In tests I usually score A or B! I would suggest him for anyone in need of Calculus tutoring, but he knows basically everything in the field of high school math!


Jack R. from Monsey, NY

Tapi is an amazing tutor. He was always available to help me out. He knew his material and taught it on my level. The result was 200+ points on my SAT. I would highly recommend Tapi for SAT tutoring.


Shelly W. from Spring Valley, NY

Tapi has proven to be an an excellent tutor. He has helped my son to develop the confidence he needed to perform efficiently in Math 8 and Math 9. His grades have improved greatly in the short time Tapi has been tutoring him. Tapi developed a positive rapport with my son and his teacher. He is easy to talk to and very resourceful. We love Tapi and plan to keep him as my son's math tutor. When he started with Tyqui he was at a 69 average in Mat 9. Now he is averaging 83%. He was at 70% in Math 8 , now he is averaging 90%. Tapi is doing a great job with my son in Math.


Shari F. from Nyack, NY

I can't say enough good things about Tapi. As a mother and teacher, I found him to be patient, professional, relatable to my kids, and masterful of the academic content. Tapi tutored my 11 yr. old twins for 2.5 months on the ISEE exam. I would have no hesitation calling him again for any academic subject if the need arises.


Karen J. from Boston, MA

Tapi is patient, caring, and very knowledgeable. He was a great tutor for my child. I highly recommend him as a tutor.


Theresa C. from Pelham, NY

My son, an 8th grader, enjoys his sessions with Tapi because he is professional and they work as a team. This is saying a lot as my son was really struggling with math, and was not thrilled with the idea of a tutor. Tapi asks "how did you get that answer" whether the answer is correct or incorrect. This really helps as my son has to think about what he's doing and why. It's incredible how patient Tapi is, and how each session passes by so quickly and productively. While I am very happy that my son is learning and understanding math so much better, it's also wonderful to see how his confidence has grown. His teacher at school is also happy as his most recent unit test score was 20% higher than the previous unit test. Amazing !


Virla G. from White Plains, NY

We have only had a couple of sessions with Tapi but so far my son and I are very pleased with him. He is teaching him Algebra and helping him with other subjects in school. Tapi is very patient and reallly cares about his students. He's connecting with my son which isn't an easy task. Last week Tapi went above and beyond his duties when I asked him on short notice to help my son with his homework because he was feeling overwhelmed. The 45 minutes he had left until his next session he managed to squeeze some time in for my son. Thank you Tapi for all you have done for us!


A G. from Harrison, NY

Tapi was very kind and accommodating when my child needed some intensive work prior to the AP calculus exam. He was extremely helpful and my child received a 5 on the exam!


Angela W. from Hackensack, NJ

Tapi C. transformed my struggle with college math into a breath of fresh air. I would have failed my course without his assistance. Tapi C. is professional, punctual, patient, and absolutely a Blessing.


Lisa M. from White Plains, NY

Tapi is a great tutor who is very good at what he does. He is extremely patient and always makes time to fit in a session, which is saying a lot considering how busy he is. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.


Elizabeth C. from Somers, NY

Tapi has a wonderful way of gently keeping my boys engaged and giving them the feeling of success. My children are looking forward to having his support in the new school year. Delighted to have found this website that ultimately led me to Tapi!


Richard R. from West Harrison, NY

Tapi C. was very helpful. He was easy to reach, on time, and contributed to my success. I would highly recommend him.


Chaula P. from Bronxville, NY

Mr.Tapi had helped my son only for few weeks but has done great with his math score in SAT II. He is patient, has a great way of encouraging students, and has strategy to follow up so they are responsible.


Linda V. from Nyack, NY

Tapi is professional, available, and flexible. My son quickly gained confidence in his ability to understand trigonometry, and really enjoyed his time with Tapi. Tapi has a profound and broad understanding of how children learn. He is knowledgeable about different learning styles and knows how to address deficits and challenges that youngsters can have. He is adept at building not only competencies, but confidence as well. My son received a 92 on the Algebra 2/Trig Regents, after struggling enormously in the class. We will be working with Tapi in 2014-2015 for pre-calculus. He is truly a partner on all levels of a child's success.


Claire L. from Katonah, NY

Tapi is great. He was available on short notice, flexible about location, and - after just 90 minutes with my daughter - gave her enough support to achieve a 97% on her upcoming math test. I strongly recommend.


Olga A. from New York, NY

When I was desperately looking for a tutor for my 15 year old kid I could not even imagine that I'd be able to find not just a great tutor, but a great mentor! Tapi designed his lessons based on my child's needs after patiently going over every single issue! Literally after a couple of lessons my son's scores went up by 25 points. Besides the extraordinary knowledge of the subjects, Tapi has something invaluable to offer: Tapi builds up confidence and great learning skills that can be transferred to any field of future studying. I would highly recommend Tapi to anyone!


Nicole W. from Bronx, NY

Tapi's warm personality and rapport with my nephew created the type of environment that was essential for him to gain a full understanding of the subject matter. After one session with Tapi my nephew scored a 90% on his calculus test. My nephew's knowledge of the subject has seen drastic improvement and even his teacher has commented on the change in his attitude toward the subject matter. Tapi's willingness to, modify lessons, try different ways in which to explain and impart information and experiment with new strategies to bring clarity to the subject matter, demonstrates the level of patience and caring that is seldom seen in educators. I recommend Tapi without any reservation. He is punctual, patient, professional and knowledgeable and is truly an AMAZING tutor.


Jeri M. from North Easton, MA

My son did so poorly in calc. 2 of his sophomore year of college that he needed to take it again this year as a junior. His grade was not high enough to continue onto calc. 3. We hired Tapi late into the summer and he worked very intensely with my son. Tapi determined that my son was lacking in skills he should have learned back in pre-calc and calc.1. Tapi is not only very professional, but seems to really care that his students are learning. His tutoring updates were very detailed and I felt confident that my son was working hard and improving. I have no hesitation in recommending him.


Renee B. from White Plains, NY

I'm an adult that has returned to finish my degree. After years of thinking I escaped the frustrations of math, I was presented with a reminder this past semester. I reached out to Tapi for extra help and he is so good at being able to detect where my problem lies. College Algebra builds quickly and they expect you to remember lessons from years ago to finish equations. My mind struggles with the layering, but Tapi is building my confidence and incorporates review time from past sections so I know how to move forward. I highly recommend him for all ages. He is very patient and a math whiz and wants you to succeed and do well in your class!


Janet B. from Avon, MA

Tapi is a very good tutor. He is very easygoing, which is an important trait in someone my son is working with. I've never used a tutor before, and am very impressed with Tap in particular and WyzAnt in general.


John N. from North Easton, MA

Tapi did a terrific job helping understand, learn, and drill very difficult material in for an accelerated high school calculus course. He is patient and flexible, a good listener, and was very helpful moving his schedule around weekday and weekend conflicts (sports practices, etc.). Was always very responsive by phone, text, and e-mail. Would recommend him to anyone.


William H. from Boston, MA

Tapi is a great tutor. He is very patient with my son. My son feels comfortable with him. He reached out to talk to the teacher to get their input in the tutor. He continues to work with the teacher to better help my son. He is very flexible in time and days. I will use him for the summer to continue as his tutor. I will use him if I needed a tutor.


Vanessa L. from Stoughton, MA

Tapi and my son are just starting their tutor relationship. Tapi is really taking the time to get to know my son's learning style and the material he is working on. So far so good and it seems to be going very well.


Nichole D. from Brockton, MA

In August 2011 I submitted a review that Tapi is an educational diamond in the rough. HE IS! I am so pleased to say that our daughter made the Honor Roll this term (November 2011) in the 6th grade. This is the first time in our household we've read the words 'Honor Roll'. A new IEP was done last month and she has progressed so much with Tapi's help that the educational specialists have stopped taking her out her classes in each field: speech, reading and comprehension, and math… something the school system did with her since 3rd grade. The only recommendation was assisting her in advocating for herself if she doesn't understand. This next hurdle is to conquer her shyness and self-confidence along with mastering her education with Tapi.


Keisha P. from Roslindale, MA

My daughter was struggling in Algebra and when Tapi started tutoring her, in less than a month, we saw her grade go from a D to an A-/B+. He has given her confidence and all the skills needed to get the results we expect. Thanks Tapi!


Lakeisha B. from Brockton, MA

My son has an Individual Education Plan with the Brockton Public School System and according to that his disability is "Communication". He has a speech impediment so it's hard for him to communicate when he's not giving the time to get out what he needs to say. He loves going to school but the lessons were always a challenge for him. My son has been working with Tapi for a month now and I definitely see a difference. I was worried and feeling hopeless. Tapi has changed that in less than a month. He encourages him and takes the time needed to make sure that he understands. He's been awesome and my son looks forward to his time with Tapi. I'm glad that I decided to find a tutor, and I made a great choice in choosing Tapi.


Laura L. from Brockton, MA

Once my husband and I recognized that our twins needed help, we came to Wyzant in the hopes of finding someone that was a good fit for our needs. From the first meting with Tapi we knew that we had made the right decision. He assessed each individual child’s educational level, identified the specific gaps in knowledge, and then built a plan to address their individual needs. I cannot tell you how happy we are to work with him, and the boys really like him as well. He is patient, punctual, available, and knowledgeable. We look forward to working with him to get the boys on track and beyond to reach their full academic potential.


Trecia R. from Somerville, MA

Very patient and personable with my son. Saw an immediate difference in study habits. He knows how to engage and keep his interest. My son's confidence is elevated and he really enjoys working with Tapi. I highly recommend!


Grace W. from New Rochelle, NY

I needed Tapi's help to prepare for standardized testing, SAT I&II as well as the ACTs. Tapi was so patient, and helped explain every problem in detail, teach concepts which I did not yet master, and then teach me the fastest way to complete the problems for timed test conditions. Tapi also helped me with my introductory Calculus, and was able to breakdown the higher level concepts so that I could understand them. He's the best!


Yukiko H. from Purchase, NY

I'm a high school junior student, and I currently attend a boring school. My least favorite subject is Physics, and I tried my best to improve my grades by seeing my teacher after school, reading textbook many times, or even going online to look for some problems to solve. None of them seemed to work, and I was hopeless. It was when I found this website, and meeting Tapi, things started to shift in a positive direction. I was very nervous to see my first online tutor, Tapi but he was the most nicest and caring person. Since I live in a dormitory, I am restricted with times and places; however, Tapi is always flexible with his schedules and he arranges the time and places to work everything out. Tapi is very patient. I ask him millions of questions, and he would answer every single one of them, when my physics teacher would just shake his head and sigh. Because he answers every questions and goes over the definitions and vocabularies, I started to catch up to the material. My grade had improved significantly, comparing from last quarter, and it is all thanks to Tapi. Thank you Tapi!


Veronika J. from Scarsdale, NY

He helped my son to have the highest score in class on very difficult test in his 9th gr honors math.


Becki B. from Old Greenwich, CT

I hired Tapi last fall to assist my son with his high school algebra. Tapi demonstrated a deep understanding of the subject and the ability to make it easily accessible. He was very polite and professional, as well. He is an excellent tutor.


Nicole C. from Ossining, NY

I'm a high school student that needed tutoring for regents Trig. When I didn't understand a topic Mr. Tapi would explain in detail until I understood it and would give me practice questions. My test grades improved and I started to understand topics so much more thanks to Mr. Tapi. Also, he would teach me topics I would learn the next day. My teacher wouldn't sound as if she was talking giberrish all the time thanks to Mr. Tapi! I ended the year with a B average (its pretty good & average for someone who struggled with trig) if we had started tutoring sessions a little earlier I strongly believe Mr. Tapi could've helped me get up to an A (We started sessions during the month of March)


Mariya T. from Greenwich, CT

Tapi's explanation of Algebra were easy and he was able to diagnose weak sides where my daughter needs to improve.


Tiombe C. from Nyack, NY

I like that Tapi has in depth knowledge of math. He is giving me an understanding the nomenclature of algebra. I am better able to breakdown the steps to solving problems.


Eryn C. from Los Angeles, CA

Love this tutor, he is freaking awesome and very knowledgeable about all aspects of math!!!!!!! Would recommend to any and everyone.


Lutonya R. from Ossining, NY

Tapi has helped my daughter immensely! In four short sessions she is already showing great confidence and tremendous improvement. I am looking forward to their continued work together.


Lewis H. from New City, NY

AWESOME! Has great knowledge of Calculus and math as a whole. Showed me more than one way to reach my answer with and with out using the calculator. I recommend him to anyone who needs a little extra help in math.


Logano G. from New Rochelle, NY

Tapi is helping me prepare for a university exam, I was scared at first since I haven't done math in 4 months, however with his help I have recovered most of my math knowledge in just 2 meetings. He is very good at explaining concepts difficult to normally understand.


Allison P. from Greenwich, CT

Tapi came to assist my 7th grade son with Pre-Algebra/Algebra. He was on time, and organized, obviously experienced with the material and with teaching. He had a patient, very pleasant manner, and he struck exactly the right balance between reassuring and also encouraging my son to challenge himself by trying harder problems. The key to learning is the willingness to try and sometimes fail (and not feel bad but learn from the mistakes)--Tapi clearly understands and encourages this mindset. His explanations are clear, and he inspires confidence in the ability to do the work. My son, who usually resists tutoring, said he really liked his session with Tapi and is ready for more. Exactly what I was looking for: home support for the subject that not only helps academically but also removes stress for my son (and me)!


Maria A. from Dumont, NJ

In just three tutoring sessions, Tapi has helped my son understand math concepts which had been challenging. Look forward to continued working to improve my son's knowledge, confidence and of course grades.


Cheryl L. from Thornwood, NY

Tapi is patient, engaging and had a great rapport with my son. His confidence has improved dramatically after just a few weeks of tutoring.


Kerrianne B. from Rye, NY

Tapi is knowledgeable and professional and did a great job helping my son with material that he did not understand.


Hillaun J. from Ossining, NY

Tapi shows me different way to get the answer which gives me a better understanding of the topics. Great Tutor!


Kathy C. from Park Ridge, NJ

Tapi provided my high school son with a great chess session. He was patient and super knowledgeable on the strategies of chess game.


Nancy L. from Scarsdale, NY

Tapi is a poised, amicable and a highly-intelligent individual. He is an expert in his subject, and he truly cares about the success and progress of a student. He is highly-organized, and he will set forth an individual plan of study, as he initiates setting up a relationship with the classroom teacher. Tapi prioritizes daily math practice at home and will offer supervision of daily work if needed. I highly recommend this wonderful tutor!
