About Robert


Bio

In addition to a strong academic background (BSME from Stanford University and MBA from UCLA) and extensive business experience, I have been tutoring in Palm Beach for over 15 years, including 7 years with Kumon Math.

I have proven strategies for success on all disciplines of the SAT, and ACT and can explain how these tests integrate into the college application process.

My experience enables me not only to teach math at higher levels, but to help students strengthen their core skills (does anyone remember the "Three 'R's"?).

My favorite quote from students is, "Why didn't someone explain this to me this way the first time. It is so much easier to understand than I thought." So, if you want that "light bulb" to go on in your student's mind, let's discuss what you need.

I have extensive experience with students with ADD/ADHD and test anxiety issues.

My experience in elementary math comes through 4 years as a learning center math instructor. This gave me the tools to work with students of all ages and all abilities. I know how to explain math in ways that make it easier to understand. “Why didn’t someone explain it to me this way before? It is easier than I thought” is a common quote from my students.

Highly Effective, Relateable, & Pleasant!

Bob worked with my 13 year old daughter for 6 weeks (1 x per wk for 1 hour) to prep for her SSAT's. She had never worked with a tutor before and had no idea what to expect. She went into the process highly nervous and anxious about the test but after just the 1st lesson with Bob, she felt a weight lifted off her shoulders and was optimistic that she would do well. She indicated that she learned so much in the initial meeting and looked forward to the remaining weeks to build on what he'd taught her. Bob interacted with my daughter easily and used positive tactics to help her approach the test wisely. Each session she had with him was packed with strategy, tips, and encouragement. Using a supportive and "learn from your errors" approach, not only is Bob easy to talk to but he is easy to understand. The examples he shared with her truly drove home the concepts they discussed in each session. By the last lesson, my daughter told me she was not just prepared for the SSAT's, but confident she would do well. She was also a little sad to be finished with her lessons because she enjoyed learning with Bob. As he noted, we hope we don't have to see him again because she's done so well on the test. :-) However if happen to need to brush up on test taking skills, we're certainly going to seek his expertise!

Skilled tutor

Robert works well with our 9th grade son. He can quickly assess a student's deficits and strengths and teaches skills and "shortcuts" that our son likes and uses. Great tutor.

Ani , 4 lessons with Robert

Excellent tutoring skills

Bob seems to be a seasoned and well experienced tutor. We just started but from the first meeting you could tell he's very knowledgeable in what he does and great communicator with students.

Great tutor

His breadth of knowledge is incredible. Gets right down to business and targets the information that is most important. I highly recommend him for all your tutoring needs (esp. SAT/ACT).

Waiting for the next lesson

Again another amazing lesson. Signing up for more. He has spent a lot of time with my son on things that he finds difficult and he makes sense.

Excellent and Productive Tutoring Session!!!!!

Robert made the strategies for the PSAT easier to understand. I hope he helps me get at least 1500. XD He is very helpful, patient, knowledgeable, and professional.

Ana, 16 lessons with Robert

Knowledgeable, patient and helpful tutor

Bob is helping me with SAT and ACT preparation. He explained to me differences between the tests, gave me instructions how to study, how to take tests and what is the most important I have to focus on. The 1st diagnostic test I took he evaluated scores and explained to me what my week points are and how to eliminate them. Bob also customized my preparation to accommodate a very short time to prepare for my 1st 'real' tests.
