Peter
Effective Math and Test Prep Tutor
Math and other subjects often seem like foreign languages to students. I act as an interpreter, helping students to understand concepts intuitively. Education is more than just a transfer of information. The very act of learning provides an opportunity for students to learn processes for problem solving and other skills. I encourage and instruct students in the development of these processes. This results in improved study habits as well as improved grades. In addition to information tran...

My wife and I were very pleased with Peter. He arrived promptly and listened to our daughter and maintained a professional yet inviting, considerate attitude that our daughter felt very comfortable with. We will definitely have him back.

Peter continues to do an exceptional job of connecting with our daughter. His wonderful balance of patience and persistence creates an environment that revolves around a problem-based learning approach that focuses on using her strengths, to help overcome her weaknesses. Peter's knowledge of mathematical strategies is extensive, and my daughter really enjoys the time that she spends working with him.

From the few session we have had, Peter seems to really be able to connect with my son on a different level, putting things in perspectives that he doesn't get in class. Peter is easy to talk to, willing to work around my schedule, and fit in our first session with very short notice. We have seen positive results already, and our son seems to have more enthusiasm for AP Calculus.

Peter gave my son not just a superficial method of solving math problems, but a conceptual understanding of how to approach them logically. Because we didn't know at first where to turn, my son only had time for 4 lessons, but his Math SAT score was 60 points higher than his first one. Peter really goes all out in making both the student and parents feel comfortable with the tutoring process.

Peter was quick to respond to the call for help with geometry. It was my daughter's first time being tutored and she got much out of the two hour sessions. He gave her a break in between sessions. He was very patient with my daughter, who passed her final exam thanks to Peter's help. I am grateful to have had him placed in our pathway at such a short notice. He was an answer to our prayers.

Peter was an excellent tutor for my daughter. He always arrived on time, and was very patient and thorough when explaining her questions. He was able to make connections between calculus and the real world, enabling her to better understand the topic. Overall, Peter was a fantastic tutor!

Peter A. has been working with my son for several months now tutoring pre-calculus, and in that time my son has improved two letter grades. Mr. A is patient, knowledgeable, and flexible with his scheduling, and my son likes him and likes working with him. I'm very satisfied and would highly recommend Mr. A to anyone that needs help in pre-calculus.
