Garnet has helped my daughter with everything we've thrown at him! This is the second year we've used him (Pre-AP Physics, AP Chemistry, Pre-Calculus and AP Calculus BC). He is patient and has helped my daughter to be confident and prepared to handle her courses. We are so grateful to have found such an amazing tutor! He is professional and really takes time to explain and make sure she understands everything! I wished we could pack him up and take him to college with her next year!
Shaima O. from Dallas, TX
Garnet was my tutor for Business Calculus and Statistics. He was always very helpful. He has a very busy schedule but he always managed to find a way to work with me when I needed help. I don't have the greatest attention span and I had a lot of difficulty understanding my Calculus and Statistics professors in class, but Garnet was able to explain the concepts in a way that not only kept me interested but also helped me understand everything I was having problems with. He made the classes look very easy and I ended up getting high grades in both classes. My biggest regret was that I was not able to find him sooner.
Eileen R. from Rowlett, TX
Brendan received a grade of 100 on his first Calculus II quiz. This is a great start for the spring semester!!! Thanks Garnet!
Zonna J. from Garland, TX
Garnet tutored my son in preparation for his ACT. We were pleasantly surprised at the progress he made. His reading scores went from a 25 to a 33!! Science went from 27 to a 34. WOW!!! There are more options for him now. This is one of the best ways to help your child succeed. Hire a good tutor!!
Janet S. from Amarillo, TX
Made it easy to understand!! He was very patient and not condescending at all!! I used him for almost 3 weeks and will definitely use him again if I have ANYTHING math again!! He is the BEST!!
Sam C. from Dallas, TX
Garnet worked with my son for a semester, teaching him an entire year's worth of brand new material (precalculus) so that he could place into calculus for his senior year in high school. He tested and placed successfully into BC Calculus! Garnet was easy to get along with, very accommodating with his schedule, flexible to needed changes in timing, and altogether a godsend. I heartily recommend him!
Stacy R. from Dallas, TX
My son connected with Garnet, and it really helped with the sessions, especially with the subjects that my son didn't like. I would highly recommend Garnet.
Jill W. from Allen, TX
My daughter has enjoyed the tutoring time spent with Garnet. He is very patient and goes above and beyond to make sure she understands. He does everything he can to fit you in even when his schedule is extremely tight. Thanks Garnet.
Melinda R. from Addison, TX
Great listener, encouraging and powerful instructor! Positive reinforcement, advanced methods to help increase speed. My child feels like Garnet wants her to succeed!
Lesa J. from Garland, TX
Garnet is very professional and respectful. His teaching style is thorough and patient. He attempts to allow you to arrive at your potential with his side-by-side coaching. He never speaks in a derogatory manner, even if you feel you are testing his patience, he only seeks another avenue to assist your understanding. After my first session with him, I felt that the reviews that had been given were indeed correct, he is very good. He maintains a structured schedule, begins and ends on time. If unavoidable circumstances are presented, he immediately communicates with you and attempts to work in your favor.
Skye W. from Mesquite, TX
I enjoy very much working with Garrett. He definitely knows what he is teaching. I would recommend him to anyone.
Anandini R. from Coppell, TX
Mr. Garnet was not only knowledgeable but I found him to be methodical too. This helped me to pick up his teachings and improve my knowledge in Physics. He was very responsive to questions and accommodates changes to tutoring appointments.
Ericka D. from Dallas, TX
Garnet did everything right to make this tutoring session beneficial for me. 1. He asked the right questions prior to meeting to be prepared on our first tutoring session. I sent him the problems that we were working on and told him the areas that I was struggling with (which was most of Chemistry). 2. He sent meeting reminders and he arrived on time. 3. He was obviously a subject matter expert (SME) who had a thorough understanding of the content I was being taught. But unlike some really smart people who are poor teachers, Garnet explains things in a calm and understandable manner. He is a good communicator and when I didn't get a concept, he presented it to me in a different way. I really like that he didn't make me feel like an idiot as some SMEs can do. I look forward to tutoring this semester with Garnet.
Janet C. from Dallas, TX
Garnet has a calm demeanor and put me at ease right from the start. He listened to me and appeared to grasp the areas I was struggling in. He showed me easier ways to solve problems and worked at nice pace so I could follow. He taught me ways to eliminate the trivial mistakes I kept making on previous exams and gave me confidence that I can get it right the next time. Garnet is very professional, but not stiff, and he seemed to genuinely take an interest in preparing me for my next exam. Overall, he was precise, intuitive and relaxed. I will most definitely exhaust my account on Garnet.
Yolanda V. from Dallas, TX
Garnet made the time to meet with my son even when all his other students cancelled due to the inclement weather.
Maura C. from Dallas, TX
Garnet is a great tutor. My son has a much greater understanding of Calculus now then he did when they began working together. Garnet was not the first tutor or WyzAnt tutor we had tried, but he was the first that was truly able to challenge and work with my son. His available time fills quickly, but he is always willing to work to find a good time for his students. Particularly when something big, like an exam, is coming up.
Chioma N. from Dallas, TX
Garnet broke everything down in a way I could easily understand. His teaching style makes it so that you come out feeling much more confident with the material! Will definitely be schedule more tutoring sessions in the future!
Patty H. from Dallas, TX
My daughter thinks Garnet is amazing. She said that he knows everything and explains in terms she understands. Her grades have improved and I would definitely recommend him as a tutor.
LIsa S. from Coppell, TX
My son seems to learn more and faster from Garnet than any tutor he's ever had, so it's working for us!
Brian Y. from College Station, TX
I recently completed a summer school class I needed to take, physics electromagnetism. I was very worried going into the class because I had heard just how hard this physics would be, maybe even my toughest class I would take in my collegiate career. On top of that I was taking it in a 1 month condensed class and going into it Physics was definitely not my strong point. After our first meeting, I could already tell that Garnet would be the game changer for me. I was very impressed at how professional he was but yet also very warm and friendly. He is incredibly smart, but yet very patient if you don't understand something and has the rare gift of being able to explain it to you in a way you understand. If you don't understand it the first way, he will attack the problem a different way until he knows for certain that you understand it. You can tell that he genuinely wants to see you learn and succeed. I can't tell you how many times I walked into our tutoring sessions completely clueless on the material I had just learned and then walked out from our session (usually just an hour and a half) confident that I could work out the problems on my own. Before I met with Garnet regularly, I made a 55 on my first exam. I knew the class would only get harder and I couldn't help but be concerned of being able to make that up. Well, against all odds and Garnet's amazing tutoring ability, I not only passed the class, but I finished with an 87 overall. The last exam I took I actually led the class with a score of a 99! To go from a 55 on my first exam (only one person scored lower in my class than me) to leading the class with a 99 on my last exam is a true testament to just how gifted Garnet is. If you are considering a tutor, look no further! He is by far the best tutor I have come across and I have had a fair amount. Thank you Garnet for all that you did!
Emily H. from Fort Worth, TX
I haven't been in school in 7 years and only had 10 days to prepare for the GRE. Garnet was very intelligent, patient and easy to communicate with. I did well enough to not only get accepted to a top 30 school, but also get scholarship money. I highly recommend him.
Tonya V. from Dallas, TX
Garnet is a wonderful tutor! He is very patient and ready to explain things in detail, even when it takes several different ways of explaining. I'm pretty sure there is no way I would have made it through my statistics class (and gotten an A) without him!
Lauren B. from Dallas, TX
Folks, I'm a premed student. I usually make great grades but with physics I need extra help. Garnet is very knowledgeable, he knows everything about physics and is very good explaining so you can understand the underlying concept. He is patient even when I am frustrated over a very simple problem. He is very easy to contact and reach and he'll work around your schedule to meet with you. With taking college physics over the summer, Garnet is the best and this is the physics guy for you!
Bret M. from Dallas, TX
Garnet has been highly facilitative in regards to my stats homework. He is very patient and willing to work through problems at my personally desired pace. When he was unsure of how to answer a question, Garnet went above an beyond, spending his own time to research the proper method for solving the problem. Garnet is flexible, punctual, professional, and reliable. He has never missed an appointment and has always been willing to meet. I would adamantly recommend his services to any student in need of statistics tutoring.
Patricia G. from Richardson, TX
My student initially started math tutoring sessions with Garnet to gear up for the SAT exam that was taken June 1. His instruction helped her tremendously and her confidence improved greatly. He is thorough with much attention to detail. He is punctual and very professional. We will continue to use him for tutoring through our senior year.
Myra F. from Plano, TX
Garnet did a wonderful job helping our daughter through her second semester of Physics 1. He was always very patient and professional. Garnet would even spend extra time to make sure she understood the concepts. I will definitely use him again in the future!
Amee M. from Carrollton, TX
Garnet is an excellent tutor!!! He is very accommodating, and willing to stay longer than scheduled on many occasions to get the work done. I would call him a perfectionist when it comes to math problems and would highly recommend him to anyone needing any type of math tutoring. He showed me different ways to come up with answers and easier ways than my teacher. He is very knowledgeable on all areas of math. I was totally freaking out about my Finite Math class and his lessons not only helped me pass, but I got a much higher grade then expected. Garnet is definitely the best tutor I'e ever worked with! Overall my experience has been GREAT!
Shawn L. from Arlington, TX
Garnet did an outstanding job in helping me with statistics class for college, he is really nice and understands what he is doing!!!! Bravo for Garnet!!!
Lydia S. from Richardson, TX
Punctual, prepared, and approachable. He is respectful of time constraints. Garnet H was focused on why he was here. I will definitely use him again.
Debra F. from Desoto, TX
Garnet is very knowledgeable about the subject of Statistics. With Garnet, giving him the subject area at hand was all he needed. At point, he knows where you have been in the subject and where you are needing to go for future subject areas to be prepared for what you need.
ROSS B. from Carrollton, TX
Awesome Tutor! I had a week to go before my physics exam and I was freaking out. In desperation, I turned to Garnet for help. I had my doubts about this site and whether he could really help me out. It turned out to be the best decision I ever made. He was prompt, patient, encouraging, and very willing to inconvenience himself just to make sure I do well in my exam. He actually made learning physics both entertaining and easy, and by the time I took my exam the material seemed ridiculously easy. Garnet is a great tutor! I highly recommend him.
Sandy B. from Dallas, TX
I have had tutors previously for different subjects, however, I was never fully satisfied with them for different reasons: competence, patience, punctuality, understanding and enthusiasm about the subject. I came to this site with skepticism, but today I can say that it is been the greatest simply because they have a tutor like Garnet H. Garnet was very quick in responding to my messaging, understanding my situation, patiently explaining things I didn't grasp before, and spreading his enthusiasm to me about physics. You will be lucky if you get tutoring with him (of course if he has time). I will certainly go to him again if I have physics or math related questions. He is the best tutor I have ever had.
Mary L. from Dallas, TX
Garnet was an unbelievable tutor. He made everything seemed so easy. He explained many concepts to me that I was having difficulty understanding, and in a short amount of time with him I learned a lot more than I have in weeks of studying. He was very patient with me during our session, and had a very friendly and cheerful way about him that made learning fun. I will definitely seek his help again in the future, and I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a good tutor!
Lori D. from Dallas, TX
My child was failing Algebra, but with Garnet's tutoring, they are passing with an 80+. What a great turn-around for my child!
Kim S. from Dallas, TX
Garnet tutored me in college algebra and statistics. He is very knowledgeable and patient and explains things clearly. He helped me pass algebra which was a feat for me. Hopefully, I will do the same in Statistics.
Parker E. from Dallas, TX
He knows all of the tips and tricks to get the most correct answers on the GRE! His tutoring sessions are tailored to my weaknesses in various parts of the GRE!
Alex C. from Frisco, TX
Patient, considerate, and knowledgeable; I take the exam tomorrow. Hopefully the midterm goes well, but I do intend to work with him again.
Eliza C. from Dallas, TX
Garnet was very good about leading me too the answers from the beginning, so that I could understand every step of the process. He was through, and was able to meet as much as I needed him. Highly recommend
Court A. from Dallas, TX
Garnet has taken some incredibly difficult concepts and made them very easy to understand in a relatively short period of time. I highly recommend Garnet.
Sabrina J. from Rowlett, TX
This was my son's first session with Mr. Garnet and he was very pleased with how the session went. Mr. Garnet identified upfront what my son's specific challenges were and provided an impactful tutoring session with follow-up guidance before our next session.
Nina C. from Dallas, TX
He is very likable person. Our student had a very positive initial discussion meeting with him. We are very confident that our student will learn a lot from him as tutoring sessions progress. Thank you, Garnet . We are very happy we chose you as our tutor.
Melinda R. from Oklahoma City, OK

Demarquea T. from Mckinney, TX
I'm very thankful for Garnett, he's very patient, knows how to make the problems understanding. I'm preparing for a big test I'm behind his work 100%.
Michelle S. from Waco, TX
He really takes the time to cover everything. My differential equations professor makes no sense and he shows me the purpose for each method. He is truly enlightening.
Meredith M. from Richardson, TX
My daughter said she learned more about Chemistry from Garnet in an hour then she had in a month. She said he broke everything down and it clicked. They also work on Geometry and she is so comfortable with it and her grades have gone from D's to A's! Thank you!
Rebecca W. from Plano, TX
Garnet has helped me get A's in Cal I and II and Calculus Based Physics and is currently working with me to get A's in Cal III and Statistics. He has brought me from failing grades to 100's on final exams. He just recently helped me bring my 84 mid-term average to a 91! Choose Wisely. Choose Garnet!
Sarah A. from Dallas, TX
Garnet helped me with my GMAT score. He helped with my weaknesses and made me more confident in them. He is patient and will explain anything you need. Great guy.
Nagendra M. from Frisco, TX
My son told me that he was very knowledgeable and this the time was very well spent. Will take lessons in future from him.
