Avery
Math and Physics Tutor Specializing in Academic Coaching
"As I seek first to understand and then be understood," students engage the tutoring session. With 25+ years tutor experience and BS/MS degrees in Physics, I am familiar with applied Math from Arithmetic through Statistics and beyond. My humble college start without college preparation classes in high school, helps me empathize with students in their academic struggles of all ages. Subsequently, my empathetic style involves helping students identify and master basics. For 9 years, I t...

Avery has been working with my son for the past 2 months and I can't say enough positive things about my son's experience! Not only is Avery patient, but he has taught my son to stop and think about the problem he is trying to solve. He has created a relationship with my son that allows him to feel comfortable questioning how/why a strategy works and then working through the problem out loud, so that it is clear that he is understanding the concepts. AP Physics is a challenging class, that my son has pushed himself to take, and working with Avery has been the key to his understanding and "enjoying" the content....and his sessions with Avery. I highly recommend him!

I had been out of school for fifteen years and was taking on calculus for the first time in my life. I was completely lost. After a couple of sessions with Avery, I felt much more comfortable with the concepts and my next exam yielded a 92! He even came on a last minute request for me once, great guy. Highly recommended.

My son has gone from barely passing to B+/A- in three weeks of sessions. Avery is more like a coach than a tutor. He encourages constantly and shows the child that they CAN do it. He instills confidence in them.

Avery taught university Physics II at college level with calculus. He is knowledgeable and is able to explain the material in a way that students can understand and learn quickly.

Avery made a very positive impression on my 17 year old. He appreciated Avery's gentle pushing and that he expected more from my son than he thought he could give. Great initial session and very effective use of time.

Mr. Avery was very awesome! First, we were able to schedule a time on very short notice. Secondly, when we got together, he really pushed me to do my best and helped to identify where I was weak. Once identified, we built up on that and now I feel more confident in my abilities. He's very down to Earth, and really wants to help you succeed. If it weren't for him, I would've completely flunked my exam. Thank you so much!

Avery taught me a more efficient method for organizing problems. I will definitely contact him again if I have trouble in Physics.

Avery helped my daughter to understand polynomials and got her ready for her test. He has a calm approach and showed tons of patience!
