I'm very patient and understanding. I take the time to make sure my students understand what they are learning. I live and love to see and hear students feel more confident, say the got it or come back saying they got a great grade.

Sam E. says, "I procrastinated too long to study for my math ged test, I had about 10 days till test day. Charles took me on board and made himself as available as possible. I had no prior algebra knowledge and even most fraction or decimal multiplication had long left my brain. I have adhd and staying focused is hard, which is also a reason why I procrastinated. Charles had his eye on the price and wouldn’t let me chit chat too much. Which was insanely helpful. I can’t recommend Charles enough, without him I wouldn’t have been able to pass the math ged, let alone feel comfortable to take it in the first place. Worth his weight in gold, this tutor is."

I have always loved Math and know what a frustrating, terrible feeling it is to struggle in school because I am awful in art and music. I graduated summa cum laude from FDU and am getting my Masters in Teaching High School Math. I will become a full-time teacher soon, but until then, I would love to assist any 6th grader and above in improving math understanding and confidence. My math Praxis score of 188 (out of 200) is one of the highest ever at FDU. I spent six months preparing for that exam, which is required to become a high school math teacher. I also work as a certified sports official for youth and high school in basketball, boys

On average, students take 9 to 50 sessions.

What do private math tutors do?

Charles is an excellent tutor for AP Calculus. He taught me the course from scratch, patiently explaining concepts in a way that was easy to understand. He used a variety of teaching methods to engage me and ensure I had a clear understanding of each topic. I couldnt recommend his services more!
