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

Megumi O. says, "My son studied outside U.S before we moved to here,where he is now a freshman in high school. For the first few weeks, he couldn’t got well because he had learned a different Math curriculum in his International School that follows International Baccalaureate Diploma. He needed help and fortunately we found Alex. My son studied for one hour with Alex as a trial session. He provided concise and understandable explanations. Over time, Math became easier and fun subject for him so much so that he even likes Math and enjoy it now. In the end of semester1, he finished with the best grade. Then he received a important letter from his school district yesterday. They are offering an advanced Math course for him in this summer. Of course my son will register this course and he’ll do his best effort in it. If we couldn’t met Alex, my son’s grade is still C or D now and he didn’t receive that letter. While also being a remarkable Math tutor, Alex has also provide to be effective in tutoring other subjects, such as language arts, biology, and even debate and public speaking. We truly appreciate the work and effort Alex has put into improving my son. " Read more

I am tremendously experienced in bridging the gap between learning for a grade and learning for a greater purpose, one that students wind up craving... Because who likes being disconnected or frustrated over their work? Where does that frustration come from? That's where I come in. I use an interdisciplinary guided inquiry / semi Socratic method to help students connect their individual questions to the grand scheme of their course content and larger aspirations. As well as tutoring students in how to solve problems step-by-step in personalized ways, I engage students with their interests and passions to make learning more than grade earning....

Reviews for Santa Cruz math tutors

Recent success stories from people in the Santa Cruz area.
Parth S.
Working with Alex on SAT Math, and Highschool math up to Pre Calcus was very interactive. Interactive in the sense that each type of problem we worked on was realistically put, giving a clear picture of what was being solved. Each method was not simply taught like a formula, the way he taught it gave a clear understanding of what was going on. Working on Math with Alex was a great experience as it provided me to view each and every single problem through a variety of perspectives, I wish I had known of before. Since, 9th grade I despised math because I could not understand the material, but later after being tutored by Alex, my opinion and my view on Math completely changed. I started seeing problems as a fun challenge, instead of a chore. I recommend Alex to people who want to excel, people who need a push to start.

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.
