About Jeff


Bio

Hello, My name is Jeff and I would like the opportunity to show you how to be confident with math problems by taking the frustration out of it. Raising two children of my own I saw first hand how a teacher can either make or break the way you learn math. No matter how good the teacher is, one-on-one instruction is the best way to supplement what has been absorbed in the classroom.

Hello, My name is Jeff and I would like the opportunity to show you how to be confident with math problems by taking the frustration out of it. Raising two children of my own I saw first hand how a teacher can either make or break the way you learn math. No matter how good the teacher is, one-on-one instruction is the best way to supplement what has been absorbed in the classroom.

My goal is to take what has been learned in the classroom and build on that by helping students gain confidence understanding the "rules" of math that never change. Math concepts can be difficult at all levels, and can be discouraging especially when expected results are not achieved. I have found that true success comes from a basic understanding along with repetition, encouragement and a positive learning environment.

I have a mathematics degree from the State University of New York, Potsdam. My entire career of 40 plus years has been spent in the mathematics field. I am currently employed as an Operations Research Analyst/Mathematician in the aviation industry and consider myself to be a hard working, friendly and patient person. My experience ranges from elementary to high school level math. I am available to meet at any location that is comfortable for the student. Looking forward to putting a confident smile on a discouraged face!

Very Interested

Jeff has tutored my son for a short time. During that time, he came to the lessons prepared with what my son needed help with and is very interested in seeing my son succeed. After the lessons, he called to make sure we were on the right path and gave my son contact info. My son is taking his first math test today since the tutoring started. He is going into the test confident. That is a victory in itself and I am sure he will do well.

Tutor responded:

Charlie, Thank you for the kind words. It's important that I connect with my students. He definitely makes my hours worthwhile. He really wants to succeed and I hope this gives him the confidence to do so.

Jeff is fantastic, just what you would want in a tutor - smart, kind, patient

Jeff is willing to do the work to figure out and individual’s needs and makes things fun with his call, good-natured approach. I would highly recommend him across all ages and a variety of needs!

Knowledgeable and just what we needed

Jeff worked with my son on 8th grade math. The extra support really helped him understand the material better. We are very happy to have Jeff’s support and recommend him to anyone.

Rachel, 1 lesson with Jeff

Excellent first session

This is our first time hiring a tutor and the first session was a very good experience. My teenager had asked me a couple of times throughout the day if we could just cancel because she didn’t want anyone coming over. After the session she was all smiles and said that it helped her more than she had expected or anticipated and is now eager for the extra help for remainder of the semester.

A true tutor

We reached out to Jeff in order to help my son who was struggling in Algebra. Jeff took his time and went beyond the norm to advise and guide my son. His passion and knowledge for what he does is evident.

Great Math Tutor

Jeff has really helped my son understand the math concepts he was unable to grasp in school. We are very pleased with the results we are seeing in his grades and his increased confidence in the subject.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

My daughter is very comfortable with Jeff. She feels much more confident going to school and says the tutoring is very helpful.

Tutor responded:

Thank you Ihsia. I am glad your daughter is gaining confidence! That makes a huge difference.

Made the connection

TJ likes Jeff. Jeff seems to have the mild manner that puts TJ at ease so learning is not only possible but enjoyable. TJ stayed at the table doing math problems for an additional 40 minutes after Jeff left, we've never seen that before.
