Michelle L. says, "Patrick tutored my 9th grade daughter in Geometry, and we had such a positive experience. He is friendly, approachable, and brought a fresh perspective to the material. My daughter mentioned that she felt much more comfortable learning with him because of his patience and supportive style. With his help, she not only earned an A in the class but also gained valuable test-taking strategies, like practicing sequencing and breaking problems into steps. I highly recommend Patrick as a tutor!" Read more

Danielle G. says, "Aniruddha has been nothing but excellent, knowledgeable, and kind. He is a brilliant teacher who far surpasses any math education experience my daughter has had her entire school career. He has gotten my daughter from average grades in precalculus to all As. His style of teaching is interactive and what math education should be. He is kind and patient, as well as flexible with scheduling. We will continue with A2 tutoring for AP calculus next year, as I know his teaching will be far superior to any education she will get at the high school. I give my highest recommendations, and I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Aniruddha. A+++++" Read more

Anne A. says, "I have known and hired Dan as a math tutor since 2015. Dan has worked with all three of my high school aged children. Dan has an incredible way of assessing the needs of the student he is working with, and tailoring his tutoring style to best suit the student. The comment I heard most from my kids (all with very differnt learning styles) was "Dan is SO good at explaining things! If I don't understand a problem, he can explain it a whole different way - even a third way if needed. He is so much better at explaining math concepts than any of my high school teachers." As a parent, I apprecialte Dan's calm demeanor and professionalism while still remaining relatable to the students he is working with. I highly recommend Dan as a subject tutor or test prep tutor. He is fantastic." Read more

Jaylen broke down the concepts for me in a way that was easy for me to understand. We had 3 1-hour long sessions a week where he would teach me the concepts and explain the homework problems to me. Jaylen was very professional and knowledgeable. I went from a 62% in the class to a 93%. I would defiantly recommend him as a math tutor. " Read more

Reviews for San Rafael math tutors

Recent success stories from people in the San Rafael area.
Mai T.
It was amazing to see Amadeus Ciok and my son working very hard together to improve the grade in such a short time. At first, my son was skeptical about working with a tutor, but after the 1st evaluation session, he wanted to continue. He was comfortable working with Amadeus due to his patience and easy-to-understand way of teaching, My friend’s daughter also got help from him and they were happy about the final grade. I highly recommend him for one-to-one tutoring service.
