I have tutored dozens of students in SAT math, ACT math, Economics and high school math with excellent results. Additionally, I have also helped candidates working on their GMAT, MBA in Finance, Series 7, and Series 66 exams. One on One tutoring has always proven to be the most effective teaching method. I believe that everyone has the capability to learn. The secret sauce is the right approach and it takes a sensitive teacher to find the correct recipe that works. The proper approach depends...

Jamie is highly knowledgeable in his area, very well organized, yet flexible enough to adjust his lesson plan on the spot based on his student's needs. This was especially helpful for my daughter who was working towards reaching the highest percentile in SAT Math. This is usually the hardest, but Jamie would give her a couple of problems, watch how she's doing, where she goes wrong or have difficulties and based on that chose how to go forward. All on the spot within the session. This prevented any wasted time. It was a very beneficial experience; thank you Jamie.


Carol V. from Ramsey, NJ

So glad Jamie is available to help my son (a junior in high school) prepare for the SATs. He's a math genius but also knows how to make the material understandable for teens. He's flipped the math "on" switch for my son and answers texts for those last-minute math emergencies, too. Just wish we started working with him sooner!


Lyor K. from Fair Lawn, NJ

Jamie helped my son to prepare for his ACT test. My son selected Jamie from a list of tutors. This was an excellent choice. Jamie assisted my son to study and manage the test. It's very important. He assisted my son with the required knowledge and confidence. We highly recommend Jamie.


Diane B. from Parsippany, NJ

Jamie is a very patient tutor with my twins, who have different strengths/weaknesses in math. My children have very different personalities, but both click with Jamie and find him fun to work with.


Joanny H. from Haledon, NJ

Jamie is a great tutor. He is very knowledgeable and challenged my daughter. Jamie used his expertise to help my daughter prep for the SAT math portion and she felt more confident when she took the actual test. Jamie planned every lesson in advance and was always punctual for every appointment. I highly recommend this tutor for any student who wants to improve their math skills.


Christine D. from Boonton, NJ

I had a pretty tough subject that I needed help with and wasn't able to find anyone that would be able to tutor me. I had only a couple weeks left before a big exam when I found Jamie. He had a very flexible schedule and always kept in touch with me. He knew the material very well and helped me get an A in the class. If I was struggling, he was very patient in helping me understand the material. I am extremely happy with the results and he is an AMAZING tutor! I would highly recommend him to anyone!


Daniel D. from Cedar Grove, NJ

Finding the right tutor is not always easy. However, since the first day, we knew Jamie was the right choice. Jamie is a great tutor, he was able to determine exactly what areas our son needed help in. Jamie obviously loves what he does and it can be seen in the way he teaches and interacts during the lessons. We will continue to use Jamie as long as we have need for a tutor.


Maria R. from Denville, NJ

Jamie is an excellent tutor. He was able to communicate and "get through" to my son very easily and my son seemed to develop a certain respect for Jamie even after only a few sessions and actually worked on the information even when Jamie was not at our house which is an amazing accomplishment! Kudos to Jamie!


Gabe N. from Glen Ridge, NJ

Mr. B met with my daughter for the first time. He was very patient and gave her an excellent overview of how the ACT works and how she should prepare. When they moved on to the math portion of the session, he asked her where she wanted help and diligently worked through many problems with her. He was very supportive of her when she had the correct answer. This is very important for my daughter because she appreciates the positive feedback when she is working with a tutor. I would highly recommend Mr. B. We had a second session and again it was very effective. Mr. B helped my daughter with math homework in addition to the ACT tutoring. Again, very patient and understanding. He sees the big picture for the students, which is great.

I highly recommend him to everyone.

Jamie is the best tutor I have ever had. He is patient, extremely knowledgeable and is more than flexible in terms of appointment schedule. He is worth double his rate.

If you need a tutor for math and exams, you will not go wrong using Jamie as your tutor.

We met Jamie yesterday and he jumped right in. He quickly identified the problem that has been hindering our 10th grader. Jamie will reinforce the weakness with additional practice problems through the week in order to strengthen this area while at the same time staying current with class work. With this technique Jamie indicated that our student will make consistent progress and get ahead of the class. We are looking forward to working with Jamie!

Thoroughly enjoyed the tutoring by Jamie! He is a great teacher. Very patient, checks your need at the initiation of tutoring, gauges your understanding of the topic from the start and also throughout the tutoring. He breaks down the topic in multiple ways until the student can comprehend the topic/problem and get a full grasp of the topic/problem. Terrific tutor in TVM problems in Finance!

Jamie got right to the heart of my daughter's issues in her class. She already feels more confident and looks forward to her next session!
