My name is Kevin, and I grew up and live in St. Louis. I have a Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as well as a Master's degree in aerospace engineering from St. Louis University. My education helped develop my passion and knowledge for math and science. I am a high school physics teacher, and I am certified to teach both physics and math. I'm familiar with many subjects of math, including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calcul...

Kevin has tutored our son since the beginning of the school year in both algebra II and chemistry. He is patient and explains the material in ways my that our son can understand. We would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs extra help with math and science.
Rick A. from Saint Louis, MO
Kevin was knowledgeable and efficient in Excel, and most important, he was on time. I will use him again in the very near future.
Bryan H. from Collinsville, IL
Kevin was very helpful and understood the material well. His explanations were easy to understand and helpful. I would highly recommend Kevin and will request his help again if needed.

Kevin has really helped me to improve my grades in Physics and Geometry. He is great at explaining complicated problems and patiently works through them with me. He even stays longer than the allotted time just to be sure I understand the concepts. I am able to complete my homework and lab reports on a more timely basis, and overall, I feel more confident in class. Even my mom is going to have him help her with some more advanced Excel calculations so that she can improve her efficiency at work. I would highly recommend Kevin as an excellent tutor!
John A. from Saint Louis, MO
I don't think of my daughter as hard to tutor, but we went through three other tutors before finding Kevin to help us with calculus. One was only willing to tutor in a noisy bookstore coffee-shop. One other seemed to know the subject very well, but had such a strong accent that neither of us could understand him easily. It was refreshing to find Kevin, who is easy to reach, easy to understand, and very flexible to work with. My daughter's grade has improved, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs math help.
Lee R. from Fenton, MO
Kevin not only knows how to do the math but can teach it and that is exactly what I needed. He is always wanting to make sure you understand what you're doing and why. One of the biggest assets of Kevin is that he always makes time to help. I have needed help on a question and been able to call him up and he'll walk me through it. I would recommend Kevin to anyone needing any help. He helped me in Calculus III and is helping me in Differential Equations. From what I understand, he is very good at many other subjects as well. Highly recommended!

Kevin has been very helpful as a tutor. He shows patience and gives multiple options while I try to digest the lesson. I am making progress and look forward to each session with Kevin.
Tabitha B. from Saint Louis, MO
I openly admit that I am not a "natural" when it comes to solving math problems, and knew that I would need some help in preparing to test out of my required math course for college. Kevin was a great tutor and showed a strong interest and commitment to helping me understand some of the math problems that were throwing me for a loop, and even more helpful with teaching me things I absolutely did not understand. I'm very glad that I decided to go with Kevin as my tutor, he knew how to explain "the math stuff" to me so that it stopped being "math stuff" and became what it is, ways to solve problems. I definitely recommend Kevin as a tutor.
Kiarra R. from Saint Louis, MO
Kevin clearly explained Calculus concepts to me and worked out problems step-by-step. He was patient and didn't mind showing me how to work out problems covered in Pre-Calculus which were important for Calculus. I wish I would have known about WyzAnt and contacted Kevin sooner!
Janet S. from Florissant, MO
Lesson 1 He is very knowledgeable and easy to understand. We went over basic things, some I knew and most I didn't. I have the lesson we worked on to go over. I think our first lesson went well. We have another lesson planned for next week. Lesson 2 We worked off of a work sheet and that gave us specific things to work on which was very helpful. I feel this session went well and I will practice what we did. Kevin is very easy to work with and explains all the different options that can be used. Lesson 3 We had a very good lesson. I am feeling more comfortable with Excel after each lesson. Lesson 4 We had a very good lesson and things are progressing.
Matt L. from Saint Louis, MO
Kevin pretty much single handedly helped me pass my last semester of college. I was assigned some pretty difficult upper level statistics work having to do with linear programming and things along those lines, and without his help I don't know if I would have passed. He was patient and understanding, as well as a great teacher with great knowledge of his subjects. I often needed his help on short notice and he was always willing to take time out to meet and go over my work with me. I would recommend him to any of you out there that need help in statistics or similar subjects!
Madelyn R. from Saint Louis, MO
My daughter was very pleased with Kevin! She said he explained things in a way that had not been presented before and appreciated the relationship associated with explanations as well. The review of basic log rules was very helpful as well.
Henric K. from Saint Louis, MO
Kevin has been giving ACT tutoring lessons to my son, a high school junior. We are extremely happy with the lessons. My son enjoys them tremendously, and he is learning a great deal for the ACT test an
Claire A. from Atlanta, GA
Kevin was a great last minute find for my daughter who was struggling with AB Calculus. He successfully explained several difficult topics in a manner that was swift and understandable. He worked through many problems with her explaining each step of the process (the understanding was what she was lacking in this section). I would use him again and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs someone who not only understands math, but also understands how to teach it!
