Richard O. says, "Nadine was simply awesome!!! She came up with a game plan to prep me to pass the math portion of the GED test with only a few weeks to study before the test.

Hi! I'm a Civil Engineering graduate from California State University, Northridge (CSUN), and I’ve been tutoring math and engineering-related subjects for over 8 years. My journey as a tutor began while I was facing my own academic challenges — and that experience gave me a passion for helping others overcome theirs. I’ve tutored math at every level, from elementary through college, working with students both privately and in groups across the San Fernando Valley. Some families were so eager to continue with me that I even traveled to Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, and Arcadia for their sessions. With younger students, I focused on building str

Being a tutor, for me, has always provided a satisfaction that just getting a good grade cannot give. Providing someone the tools to learn a subject and do it well is something I'll always enjoy. I like learning to be discplined but engaging, making students think outside of the box to understand complex concepts strategies for improving their math skills. I've never tutored as work, however, I am very confident in my subject field and will create a fun environment. I believe being personable and 1-on-1 will allow the student to personalize their experience and create a strategy to learn math at pace that will have the most success....

I could not be more thankful that Mint was my teacher for SAT Math. She was very understanding of the material and constantly came up with ways to make learning fun for her students. With her tricks to memorize the skills I needed to learn for specific for the SATs, I was able to get the score I had never dreamt of: 780.

My daughter was always really anxious about her math grades. Jay was very kind and patient with her and has helped her feel a lot more confident going into tests with a lot of practice questions and repetition. I highly recommend Jay to those who have anxious children just because of how patient he is.

Randy tutored my senior high school son and prepared him for his math SAT test. Randy was exceptional in every aspect. Not only his knowledge and ability to teach the material, but also his ability to connect with a teenager in away that my son commented that “Randy was the best teacher I ever had”. Randy wanted to make sure that he covers as much of the material as possible and frequently stayed way over the scheduled sessions times at no extra charge. Randy is an honest, excellent tutor who cares about his students and I highly recommend him as a tutor to students at all ages!

Rebekah Meza is an excellent tutor. I appreciate her time she spent with my daughter in all aspects of Algebra. We met with Ms. Meza twice a week and it allowed my daughter to get a grade of an A. I would recommend Ms. Meza to anyone who needs a tutor. Thank you for all of your hard work and I plan to hire Ms. Meza during the upcoming school year.

Otis is very easy to talk to and makes things easy to understand. He's helped me in various math classes and recently helped me go from a D to an A in Statistics. I was struggling with really understanding the concepts, I tend to rush through things and make tiny errors. I found that my professors and other tutors I worked with were not helpful and didn't slow things down for me to understand. Otis seemed to really care about my success in the class and analyzed my personality quickly to figure out my learning style. He adapted his tutoring style to fit with me and taught me in a way that made sense (I am not math minded at all). The areas in Statistics where I was really struggling became clear through Otis. He is a great tutor and I would highly recommend!
