Highly Recommend Andrew for Tutoring

We have been using Andrew's services for about 6 weeks. He tutors my 13 year old son (7th grade) 3 days a week. My son struggles academically and has additional challenges with ADHD and a math LD. Andrew has been very patient, encouraging and friendly with our son. In addition to reviewing homework, studying for tests and doing extra work via Kahn Academy, Andrew has helped him organize his planner and presents concepts in a way that my son enjoys. Andrew has also taken the initiative to communicate with my son's teachers to better understand how my son learns and what types of teaching methods are most effective. He is the most thorough tutor we have worked with to date. He understands the challenges of learning disabilities and ADHD and is always prepared and able to tackle any subject - math, science, social studies or language arts. Andrew also provides valuable feedback and daily reviews of his lessons with my son. I would highly recommend Andrew's services if you are in need of academic tutoring for your son or daughter.

science session

Wow. Great job and patience today with my son! He was able to figure science and chemistry homework even though it was not his strong point but he was able to adapt and quickly helped out. Andrew has a lot of patience! Thank you for a great job today!

Great Algebra tutor for ADHD child!

My 9th grader who has a mild ADHD is struggling with Algebra 1 at school. Mainly due to his attention deficit. So we set up a tryout lesson with Andrew. Andrew made the lesson fun and easy for my son to follow along. At the end of the session, he reported to me that he learned so much from Andrew and would like to continue with the lesson on a regular basis.
