Algebra 1,

Algebra 1

As a math major in college and a management science PhD student, I can attest to the importance of mastering basic Algebra. It is one of the most important foundations you can build for both your education and professional life later. I have tutored numerous students in Algebra. More importantly, I have applied it to all types of every day problems and decisions so I am able to illustrate its value and application to both beginning and advanced students.
Algebra 2,

Algebra 2

I have tutor 100s of students in Algebra 2. More importantly, I have applied it to all types of everyday problems and decisions so I am able to illustrate its value and application to both beginning and advanced students. As a math major in college and a management science PhD student, I can attest to the importance of mastering Algebra 2. It is a foundation for geometry, calculus, linear algebra, mathematical programming and many computer science courses. It is also very useful in preparing for SAT/ACT/GRE/GMAT and other standardized exams.

After a decade helping 100's of math test prep students (SAT and ACT) I will teach you 50+ standard problem types that show up regularly as well as specific solution approaches and their time-saving short cuts. I focus on both math knowledge and reasoning skills. I also understand the key test-taking (and pacing) strategies to help you maximize your test scores.

Phenomenal tutor

My son has been using Dr. O primarily to increase his ACT/SAT scores. He gives full credit to Dr. O for raising his SAT scores by 200+ points into the upper 1400's and his ACT up 9 points up to two short of the maximum. Results matter and Dr. O gets results. He has bent over backwards to find times and places for my son to meet him for lessons. His approach is methodical and effective, and has greatly increased my son's advanced math grades at school as well. I spent more money on other "Prep" programs with nothing near the results that were achieved in just the first few lessons with Dr. O. A concerned parent wanting a method of boosting the College Test Scores of their high school students need look NO FURTHER. Dr. O is the best...end of story. He is much in demand because he is well worth the wait and easily justifies his five star rating. ( I would give him 10 stars if they would let me). These results are already reaping rewards as my son has been accepted to almost all of his college choices already. Those to go offer places after the new year. I could go on and on but the point is made. Your search for a tutor is over, set you goals high and Dr. O will get you there. GEM

GALVIN, 39 lessons with Dr. Michael

Knowledgeable, Patient, Stategic

Dr. Micheal was great with my son, who was skeptical about tutoring with someone unfamiliar. My son is ready to book another lesson! Dr. Micheal uses his knowledge of the test to help with strategy, as well as knock some dust off with unfamiliar concepts. Don’t hesitate. It was easy and efficient.

Alecia, 1 lesson with Dr. Michael

Excellent Tutor

My son just started meeting with Dr O and he has already identified specific areas he needs to focus on to increase his SAT score. His communication is excellent and my son truly enjoys working with him!

Stephanie, 4 lessons with Dr. Michael

Very pleased with sessions with Dr. MIchael

My son has had 3 session with Dr. Michael. They have all been very helpful in aiding my son to organize his notes so he can study more efficiently. Dr Michael has also been helpful in boosting my son's confidence in tackling AP STATS. I highly recommend Dr Michael.

Karen, 3 lessons with Dr. Michael

Dr. O was knowledgeable and procedural. He's going to help.

Dr. O has a very specific process that seemed to resonate with my son. The 2 hour lesson, which I would have thought to be too long, was time very well spent and my son absolutely found it helpful. He's looking forward to continuing to build his testing skills.

good teacher, goes kinda fast,

Good teacher, we couldn’t get Skype to work correctly but I still understood most of the information he was trying to explain to me. He went kinda fast, but I think he is trying to make your money’s worth. Good teacher really cares about raising scores.

Ryan, 4 lessons with Dr. Michael

Professional and efficient coach for our son

Dr. Michael had a great impact on our son from the first class with him! We're looking forward to continuing working with him. Our son feels confident and hopeful to improve his grades and open wide his perspectives.

Camelia, 6 lessons with Dr. Michael

My son left the session asking for another one

My son has been struggling in Geometry all year. After pursuing all available assistance through the school, we realized that it was time to get outside help. My son left his first tutoring session with Dr. Oliff asking me when we could schedule another one. We are thrilled with the guidance our son received. My only regret is that we waited so long to get help.

Danielle, 9 lessons with Dr. Michael

Extremely helpful in raising test scores

Dr. Michael was instrumental in helping our son go from a 1450 on the PSAT to a 1530 on the SAT and 35 on the ACT. Our son enjoyed working with him on raising his math skills and continues to see him for help on the upcoming math subject test.
