Hi! My name is Kevin (or, if you prefer formality, you can call me Mr. B), and I've been tutoring students of all ages and abilities for roughly 15 years. My primary focus is STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), but I also help students succeed in computer programming and in test prep (ACT/SAT/GRE). I believe that, with the right support and attitude, anyone can learn to do anything! My students validate this belief every day. I began tutoring when I was getting my degree in me...

I've struggled in my science classes throughout high school and was having a pretty rough time with AP Physics. Kevin really helped me get out of the hole I had dug myself into and I finished the semester off much stronger than when I had started. He's easy to get along with and more than happy to thoroughly answer every question I've asked and gave me a much better understanding of the subject than what I had gotten from the actual class. I will definitely recommend him to anyone who needs extra help! He is priced very reasonably and doesn't waste any time. Thanks, Kevin!!

I was searching for a tutor on a collegiate level who had knowledge of specific courses. After communicating with Kevin, I was confident that he could provide adequate tutoring services. My daughter was very pleased with Kevin and she immediately felt comfortable. He assisted my daughter on the collegiate level and he was exceptionally patient. He did a great job to ensure that my daughter thoroughly understood the concepts and how to solve the problems. He reinforced this process by assuring that she fully understood before moving on to another concept/problem. Due to Kevin’s educational background, he was extremely knowledgeable and my daughter excelled during the semester. My daughter was highly impressed with Kevin’s excellent tutoring skills and her grades are a prime example! I would definitely utilize his services in the near future!

Kevin was great. While he wasn't an expert in my subject which he gave me a discount for he did help me make sense of how to make it work and really helped me get the hands on experience in making Excel work.

Kevin is very good working with my son on exactly what he needs and for the amount of time that he needs. He doesn't schedule "unnecessary" tutoring sessions or spend excessive time beating a dead horse! However, the proof will be in the pudding as my son had his first exam last night!! I will provide an update on the results!! Thanks Kevin!
DONALD D. from Akron, OH
I really appreciate all of your help. Great job and I will recommend you if I hear of someone needing help in Engineering.
Fred B. from Warrenton, VA
I learned so much today from Kevin....we covered a lot of items that I needed to draw my assignments. I would recommend Kevin for anyone that needs help with Autodesk Inventor, he really knows his stuff.
Equisha G. from Bronx, NY
Kevin helped me tackle some pretty tough problems. He was able to approach them quickly, given how difficult they were. The session helped me to get the concepts, which is great!

My son is a second year college student. He is studying to become an mechanical engineer. The curriculum is hard - really hard. Sometimes he struggles. That's been true in statics. His struggles have at times made him feel stupid and depressed. The boy's not stupid but sometimes even smart kids need individual, personalized, tailored help. He needed a tutor. Last night, he met with Kevin for the first time. After their initial meeting, my kiddo has a whole new attitude on the subject and his ability to master it. I'm states away but I heard it in his voice; I heard it in his tone; I heard it in his positive attitude. And that's after only ONE session. I want to thank Kevin for making a difference. I really believe that this is a start to a long and successful relationship. :)

Kevin works very well with my daughter. He is able to explain things to her in ways that she understands and she is now passing pre-calc after just 3 sessions!
Lindsey M. from Saint Louis, MO
Kevin is a great tutor that I would highly recommend! He explains problems (in several ways if needed) that are hard for me to wrap my head around. He doesn't make me feel silly for not knowing something. I couldn't have picked a better tutor!
Nazire K. from Saint Louis, MO
He is a very attentive, knowledgeable person. He adjusts his teaching style according to student's learning style. He always shows up on time and uses the time very effectively. If you are looking for a math tutor, he is the one.

Kevin worked with me to prepare for my Calculus semester exam. I did really well on the test and brought my grade up to an A.
Stacy B. from Sugar Land, TX
He helped me tremendously in a cram minimester for physics. If I need some extra help in my calculus class next semester I will definitely contact Kevin.
Carole G. from Saint Louis, MO
I think Kevin will be a great tutor for our son once he works through the challenges of working with an extremely gifted, but still young child.
Carson S. from Houston, TX
Unfortunately, my class was too specific and computer science heavy but Kevin was still extremely helpful and honest. If I ever need tutoring in a subject in his arsenal, I will be coming back for sure.

We approached Kevin in almost a crisis situation. We relocated to USA from Shanghai in the middle of the junior school year for my son and found that the introduction to engineering course had very different course content in the school at Shanghai vs the one in US where the focus was on CAD and use of Auto Desk inventor. Our son struggled through the first 3 weeks at the new school as he did not have the basics which were thought in Semester 1 in his new school. We approached Kevin who did a great job to help my son get caught up and it has gone from my son wanting to drop out of the class to i am getting it and i will do well in it. Its been only 3 weeks since we started with Kevin but i sense that my son will get an A and more importantly will master the Autodesk Inventor at the end of the semester. Thank you for all your help Kevin.You are a very patient and knowledgeable teacher.

Kevin has been a great tutor for my computer class. He knows the subject material well (we're covering Unix, SQL, and Python) and has been able to make me feel more comfortable with the material. My sessions with him have been very helpful.
Jacob H. from Anderson, IN
I needed help with Heat and Mass transfer, and he was very quick to help with the subject. He was already familiar with all of the material we covered.
Kevin S. from Fenton, MO
Kevin did a great job and took the time to answer all my questions and help me figure out the problems. He was very patient
