Patient and motivating Algebra/Geometry/Math SAT and Writing Tutor
Hi everyone, my name is Brian. If you are considering Math subject tutoring or Math SAT tutoring, look no further! I am a graduate of Boston College, and Math has always been my strongest subject. I want to sit down and work with students to look at what is giving them problems either with Math subjects in school or with the SAT. No more worrying about those Math classes and tests in school, and no anxiety for the SAT!
If you need to address problems with Pre-algebra, Algebra, or any oth…
Testimonials
Julius H. from New Hope, PA Very great tutor, makes sure you understand all the material well before moving on. Genuine concern for the success of the student. Also has good communication, is dedicated, thorough, and recommended.
Michelle K. from Huntingdon Valley, PA Hi Brian, Alix was very pleased. She felt she really grasped on with what you were reviewing and feeling more confident. Looking forward to next time.
Andrew K. from Newtown, PA Brian came out in the snow to tutor my daughter in Algebra 2. He has a great grasp of the subject. Brian is very patient and helpful in identifying challenges and strengths around the the Algebra work. I am going to schedule additional sessions with him to continue to keep up on this tough subject. Thank you, Brian, Great Job!! The second tutoring lesson was very helpful as well. Brian originally scheduled with us for an hour. Because of the need and the complexity of the Algebra he stayed for over two hours. He under promised and over delivered. Great job! Brian also accommodated to come later today because my daughter has an Algebra test this Thursday. I am strongly suggesting that if you need Algebra tutoring you utilize Brian's services. When Brian began tutoring my daughter it was the end of the first marking period and she received a C in the class. We are very near to the end of the second marking period and she has received a 90 or higher on every quiz and or test. Great job to Brian the tutor and to my daughter for all the hard work!!! Brian goes the extra mile to accommodate the class test schedule and the students needs.
Beth B. from Elkins Park, PA My daughter's grade in Algebra has gone from a C to an A because Brian works with her at a pace that helps her learn through her mistakes. His kind encouragement gives her the confidence she needs to tackle the problems and ace the exams. Thanks so much!
Donna O. from Marlton, NJ Brian helped my son tremendously. When I contacted Brian, I was desperate to find someone who could assist my son in passing Algebra. Not only did my son pass the course, he ended up getting an A! Thank you Brian for a job well done. Feel free to use me as a reference if needed!
Azlen T. from Jenkintown, PA This was my third lesson with Brian, and I'm happy to say that the concepts from many years ago in high-school math are coming back to me as I prepare for the GRE. I feel comfortable doing each week's work, and I look forward to the challenge of taking a practice GRE exam. Brian is prompt, willing to stay an extra few minutes (or more) and doesn't rest until he's confident that I'm comfortable with the concepts we reviewed that day.
Sandy E. from Narberth, PA Brian M. is great! My 9th grade son looks forward to his lessons with Brian and his style of teaching is straight forward and engaging for the student. My son had just about given up on ever being good at math and is now very inspired and feeling much better about himself.
Felicia S. from Ambler, PA Brian was great! I've been away from it for awhile and it's not my best subject. He was patient and understanding. He was clear and not intimidating which was great. I was comfortable asking him questions about the subject. I'm glad I will be tutoring with him because I feel I can pass math.
Jodi H. from Gladwyne, PA September 2013! I cannot believe our daughter has started her freshman year in college and our son a sophomore in high school. Brian, you have been a true life saver at times. When the kids wanted to "hate" a subject or a theory you always had a brilliant way of having them understand why it was necessary or important. Three years later and going strong. You started off as our daughter math tutor and took on the task of assisting our son with tutoring as well (A challenge) as they are as different as night and day. Brian has not only tutored in math he has also, helped with English and any other subject area the children needed additional explanation or another set of eyes to review the work completed. Our daughter was awarded partial scholarship and still has an open line of communication with Brian when needed. Via Internet communications she is able to still work with Brian on a as needed basis. We are happy to announce her first college paper she received a 94! And has maintained an A average in her mathematics class. Our son is moving right along and we anticipate brilliant things to come as well as stellar grades. Thank you so much Brian for being patient, understand and able to work with each child on their own comfort level.
Devin J. from Philadelphia, PA I could not have asked for a better tutor. Although it is early in the process I can see that Brian is primarily focused on helping my son succeed. He correctly assessed my son's needs and immediately focused on his problem areas. Also- he is always easy to communicate with and does give valuable feedback. Choosing a tutor is always a leap of faith and I feel we have chosen the best.
Kristin M. from Vincentown, NJ Brian came to our home with short notice and tutored my daughter for one hour for her Math SAT's. When she retook the test a few days later -Woot Woot! Her Math score went up from 590 to 710 --120 points!!!! Ya can't beat that. This was more about helping her review and calming her stress and increasing her confidence as she of course had a working knowledge and grasp of this subject in order to achieve these scores. She had had a complication taking her first SAT's that set her off her mark, but we are certain that Brian's help and expert knowledge of Math SAT's was essential to this increase. Thank you Brian. We are happy to recommend you to others. I didn't realize I had to rate you within a certain time frame... So I am doing it here ... 5 stars!
Denise C. from Bensalem, PA My daughter was having a hard time with trig. So I looked online and after looking through a lot of online tutors I came across WyzAnt and found Brian. Brian has been working with my daughter and he has helped her a lot. I'm so glad I found Brian, He is easy to reach and is always there for her. So if you are looking for a tutor Brian is the ONE YOU WANT. Thank you Brian.
Brittany C. from Philadelphia, PA I reached out to Brian looking for help with the quantitative and critical reasoning part of the GMAT. I have been out of school for a few years and needed a refresh on math topics tested on the GMAT. Brian and I met up Saturday September 20 at the public library. We chatted a bit about where I struggled most and then we got to work. Brian did a great job walking me through, step by step, how to solve problems involving things like fractions, decimals, and ratios. I will try some questions on topics we covered and go to Brian with questions. I think if we continue down this path I will have the confidence and knowledge to succeed.
Hetal P. from Philadelphia, PA My son has had two lessons with Brian and, so far, we are very happy to have him as a math teacher. Brian is an excellent teacher and a very calm person. My son learned a lot from him and gained so much confidence. I am happy to see him doing great in school. Thanks
Charice P. from Ambler, PA Brian is the perfect tutor, and he is the reason our daughter is excelling in Algebra. He is also great to communicate with, flexible with schedules (including staying later than the allotted time if needed to help our daughter grasp concepts), and has the perfect temperament to deal with teenagers. My husband and I would give Brian ten stars on a scale of one to five.
