Robert has been tutoring my 4th grader for several weeks. I couldn't be happier with my son’s progress as a result of Robert’s tutoring skills. I am extremely impressed by Robert’s preparedness for each session. He clearly takes time ahead of the tutoring sessions to create a plan very specific to my son’s needs. Robert is able to take class material and teach my son by relating the material to topics my son is more interested in. Robert has always been on time, prepared, and is really able to engage my son in both math and reading comprehension. The results of Robert’s work is irrefutable as my son earned an A- on his last test.


Janice S. from Gloucester, MA

After my daughter failed her English MTEL twice we decided to hire Robert. He was down to earth and made the learning experience easy. He gave her so many helpful hints on taking the test and helped her to focus on what was really important! After just two sessions with Robert she passed the test! Hooray!!!! I will definitely hire Robert back when she takes her next test! Thanks again, Robert.

UPDATE #3 (2/26/14) Robert has made a wonderful connection with my now 12 year old son. My son looks forward to his weekly tutoring with Robert with much anticipation of successful completion of his home work and a better understanding of how to complete his home work when on his own. We are both very grateful to have Robert involved with my son's educational development and consider him to be "top-notch"! ************** UPDATE #2 (10/30/14) Robert, you truly are a "SUPER STAR"! Thank you for all you have done to help, it is sincerely appreciated every day! ************** UPDATE: Robert continues to work my with child who has re-embraced math and is flying through his school work now. In addition, we greatly look forward to our weekly sessions and my child has fun, actual fun, learning with Robert. It makes me happy to know that this has been such a great fit. Robert has identified and filled in the gaps for my child and strengthens his learning abilities. We are so grateful. *************** Robert is wonderful with my 11 year old. My child struggles with learning challenges while striving to learn as much as possible very day. Robert has found a way to connect with my child socially and work past the challenges to restore a joy of learning, especially in math. We look forward to Robert's weekly tutoring sessions with much anticipation and happiness. This is major accomplishment, especially considering the "grumbling" I heard about doing work over the summer and toward initiating tutoring in the first place. I cannot be more thankful for this experience and look forward to continued growth into the coming school year.


Craog S. from Rowley, MA

My son enjoys going to Robert every week. My son is progressing in math and feels better about math over all. I would recommend Robert as a good tutor.


Karen D. from West Newbury, MA

My son just passed his MCAS test and we were all very happy and our thanks goes out to Robert who was very patient and prompt and available for all the lessons my son had with him. He was very knowledgeable and professional. Thank you.


Kelly H. from Boxford, MA

Robert was great working with my son during an illness this fall. He was easy to communicate with and responded to us immediately. Would highly recommend Robert for math tutoring.


Kim H. from Newburyport, MA

Robert has been working with my 8 year old son for about a month now and my son is always excited when he gets to see Robert. Robert is very patient and works well with my son. Robert also spends time talking with me about my son's progress and provides honest and informative opinions about how to proceed with future tutoring sessions. I absolutely recommend Robert as a tutor. When my son smiles and says "yeah!!" when I tell him he gets to see Robert, that should tell you something!


Kiley M. from Andover, MA

Robert sat with us on very short notice and incorporated humor, with a very relaxed style, in his breakdown of exponents for my 8th grade daughter. My daughter said she walked away with a very solid understanding of the subject matter and wasn't worried about her upcoming test. Highly recommend Robert.


Hank W. from Georgetown, MA

Robert has a good energy that translates well when working with my middle school boys. His methods to help my son focus on math and science really have worked well. In fact, we're considering adding a second tutoring session during the week if he can fit it in his busy schedule. I highly recommend Robert!


Cheryl W. from Andover, MA

Our son just started tutoring in Algebra 1 with Robert. The first two lessons went well. He was on time and able to make my son feel very comfortable and more at ease about math. They completed a good amount of work at both meetings. He was able to tell me what he thought could work best and that he would continue evaluating and reassessing my sons skills as they went along. I would definitely recommend him to any parent who has a child struggling with math.


Grace F. from Haverhill, MA

Robert is a great tutor! He's been tutoring my son for a couple of months. My son's grades went up and he is more confident in math. We are so happy we met Robert and continue to see him weekly.


Karen K. from Burlington, MA

My daughter has had 3 math tutoring sessions so far with Robert and she feels that he is very helpful. He has a calm, pleasant approach to teaching/ tutoring.


La-Salete D. from North Andover, MA

As a parent, I appreciate Robert’s feedback; I feel he takes the time to assess the situation. Things seem to be going well. My son likes Robert and works well with him. Robert identified what my son needed pretty quickly, and they have been targeting those areas ever since.


Jennifer C. from Haverhill, MA

Robert is a great tutor. I just passed my MTEL Elementary subtest, and I owe a lot of it to him! He is extremely flexible with tutoring times, sticks to his schedule, and is willing to work on anything. He will review material for as long as you need to understand it, and never rushes you through anything. I am an elementary school teacher and would recommend him to anyone looking to study for the MTEL or anyone who needs a math tutor!


Roger D. from Amesbury, MA

Robert was a great help in building a connection and providing a solid foundation for overall study improvement. While primarily focused on geometry, Robert's broad understanding and teaching background provided great insight to improve our son's overall performance. Robert's calm demeanor created a comfortable environment for our son to learn. With only 1 month of tutoring 1 night per week, we were able to see improvement in tests and an overall grade improvement from a C+ to a B+.


Jennifer F. from North Andover, MA

Robert K has been a great tutor for my boys. He has tutored them in multiple subjects and my boys never put up a fuss when it's time to go to a session. He is very flexible with scheduling and always prepared for the sessions. Save your relationship with your children and let Robert be the tutor! I would hire him again.


Rita S. from North Andover, MA

Robert is a natural at making connections with kids. His calm, steady demeanor puts my 12 year-old son's math anxieties at ease. During summer tutoring he reviewed the school website and planned his sessions according to grade level expectations. At the end of each session he covers what my son did well and where he needs more work, and sends emails showing examples of what they did during the sessions. My husband and I have been very please with our son's progress and plan to continue tutoring with Robert when school restarts.


Jayne U. from Newburyport, MA

Only two meetings so far but we are scheduling for weekly. Knowledgeable in many subjects and will help in various areas depending on needs of the week. When it comes to teachers, relationship is key. Our son really likes and respects Robert's abilities so we are off to a strong start.


Carolyn H. from Andover, MA

My 11 yr old son has been working with Robert since early Fall 2015. Robert has been very flexible with scheduling. He plans his lessons around information I give him about my son's strengths and weaknesses. Robert brings all the necessary online and paper tools to the lesson as well as gum (!). My son doesn't complain at all about going which is a miracle. Thank you Robert.


Ms. B. from Haverhill, MA

Robert has done a great job working with my son over the past year. My son struggles with essays. Robert spent a lot of extra time working with my son this past lesson to ensure he completed his essay. I truly appreciate his patience and dedication with his students.


Julie C. from Newburyport, MA

Robert is so kind and patient with my son. Very positive and calming. He picks fun topics to engage my son. He has such a nice approach!
