Steven S. tutored my 6-yr old grandson once per week for approximately 6-months. His report card showed failing grades in math but after about 5 tutoring sessions he started to show improvement. Within the first few minutes of the first session my grandson and Steven were like best buddies and immediately related exceptionally well. Steven is a very easy going person who instinctively makes the student feel relaxed and makes him ready for an enriched learning experience. My grandson always looked forward to his tutoring visits and to the last few minutes of playtime with his beloved monster trucks to which Steven entertained without question. I definitely recommend Steven to anyone finding a need for math tutoring. Steven is a very, very honest and trustworthy person. His rates are very reasonable and always had the courtesy to text us his approximate time of arrival. My grandson is now receiving all A's and two B's in his report card. It is noteworthy to state that I had initially looked for a math tutor but in reality Steven helped my grandson with all his classes as his self esteem soared and is now happy and doing very well. Thanks, Steven. We cannot thank you enough.

We have had 4 tutoring sessions so far with Steve, and he is nothing short of amazing. He obviously loves to tutor, and it shows. Our 12 year-old son Cameron LOVES the time he gets to spend with Steve and looks forward to his bi-weekly lessons. Steve has the innate ability to describe/explain the subject material in a manner which is very easy to understand, and is very encouraging. In this short time Cameron's grades have already showed significant improvement, and his younger sister has already requested "Coach Steve" if she ever needs extra help academically!


Clara K. from San Antonio, TX

Steven is wonderful. He is an excellent math tutor. He explains math in a better way than most teachers do. We are very satisfied and will continue to use him for all our math needs.


Ronald F. from Floresville, TX

Steve has become a trusted friend and tutor to my son, and a trusted friend for me. I know that he wants to help anyway that he is able to. I recommend Steve to all.


Monika O. from San Antonio, TX

Steve is an amazing person to work with my child! My son has many mental and physical issues to overcome on a daily basis and Steve has incredible patience and skills working with him. My 6 year old had his tonsils and adenoids removed on 4/30 and has not been to school since. He was given almost 100 worksheets to do for the 2 weeks he is out of school and between myself and Steve we have knocked out more than 75% in 2 days. It took my son this long to even be back to himself enough to do anything, let alone school work. I am EXTREMELY happy that I interviewed several tutors before choosing him. I was torn between him and one other and after our first conversation, I felt that he had more knowledge and patience that I knew my boy would need. He makes the time with him fun so my son stays focused, even when his meds wear off after school hours. He is also very ENCOURAGING and shows my son extra praise with good work. He is always complimenting him and making him feel good about what they accomplished that day. He also keeps me involved in the daily activities and successes. I am not just leaving them in a room together to work, I am there with them, learning the ways to teach my son also for when Steve is not here. I appreciate that he takes the time to keep me knowledgeable about the level of what a first grader would be at. I was teaching things to my child that were way too far advanced for him. Steve is available to answer as many questions as I may have. He never rushes me or makes me feel like I am bothering him by asking additional questions on 1st grade work. I would like to say thank you again (even though I thank Steve every time I speak to him), but I am very impressed with him, his skills, and his knowledge of my child's needs and I feel GREAT knowing that he is there to back me up with any extra help my lil one needs!

Steve is so helpful. I couldn't have asked for a better tutor. He is patient, kind, and always willing to help.


Dianna C. from San Antonio, TX

Steve is the best! He communicates clearly, is patient with our son, and teaches the biology concepts in a way that our son gets. Our son thinks Steve is great and his grades are continuing to improve. We are very thankful! Update: Thank you so much, Steve!! We will certainly get in touch in the fall as our son gets in to Chemistry. Have a blessed summer! Update: Steve continues to be an awesome fit with my son! He always feel better equipped for his science and math classes after review with Steve. Also, we so appreciate Steve's ongoing commitment to our son, even when both of our schedules are tight.


Stacey D. from San Antonio, TX

Steve has been a great tutor for my son. He has helped him prepare for the SAT and is now helping him prepare for the ACT. My son has nothing but high regard for Steve and has really enjoyed working with him. He is easy to contact and promptly returns any emails or texts. Can't say enough positive things about our experience with him.


Allison S. from San Antonio, TX

8/28/14 First Lesson My daughter really liked him. She said he was funny and did not treat her like she is stupid. Grasped concept by end if lesson. 9/17/14 Steven S. is awesome. He explains so that my daughter can understand. Would recommend him to anyone.

Steven is great with my 8 year old son. He is very patient and makes math fun for him. Steven has a great sense of humor and my son looks forward to his sessions. I would recommend Steven to my family and friends!


Cyndi S. from San Antonio, TX

My tutoring session with Steve was fantastic. He answered all of my questions and I would always ask for him in the future! He gets a five star plus rating!


Aaron F. from Universal City, TX

Steven is great! Our daughter is a freshman in High School this year and is having the typical struggles with introduction to Algebra. She was growing very frustrated and so we thought a tutor may be a good solution.... and it was/is. She really likes working with Steven and actually says she enjoys learning from him (don't think I've ever heard such a thing from her....haha). Her grades are already improving after just a couple of weeks with Steven. We are so glad we are able to have him for a tutor to our daughter.


Sherry L. from San Antonio, TX

Steven is easy to talk to and gets the job done. My son's grades have gone up. My son will be entering High School and Steve will be helping him when ever needed. I would recommend him he is fantastic


Brandon M. from San Antonio, TX

Helps me understand the subject better. Steven's tutoring is great. He's very patient with student. Also breaks down the question for better understanding.


Malinda S. from Boerne, TX

Steven has been working with Alex in Math for several months now. Alex enjoys working with Steven and always looking forward to their next session. Steven helps my son Alex not only in Math but in his other subjects as well. He is patient, always cheerful and very knowledgeable. We are very happy with his work.


Garry M. from San Antonio, TX

My son started his tutoring with Mr. Steven on Math and English. In the first day of tutoring, I observed my son was calm and participating. The way Mr. Steven conduct his tutoring is interactive and encourages critical thinking to my son. He is highly intelligent to the subject matter. We thank you we landed a treasure of knowledge.


Ravneet D. from San Antonio, TX

We had one lesson so far but it was really nice experience, Steven was on time and accommodated our request to teach before our son's test. Looking forward to future lessons to see the improvement in our son's math skills.


Ann P. from San Antonio, TX

Steve immediately put my son and me at ease. He asked great questions in order to get an understanding of what our struggles are. He bonded quickly with my son and was able to explain things in a way my son could relate to easier. My son is actually looking forward to studying!!


Kianna D. from San Antonio, TX

Steven is simply amazing! After our first session I feel so much more confident than I have felt in years about math. Steven's passion for helping and teaching others is evident. He is kind, patient and funny. I'm so glad that I crossed paths with him through Wyzant. I'm a assured that our future sessions will propel me to the next level and help me attain my goal.
