About

Teaching is my greatest passion. I have been tutorng since I was 12 years old, when I began tutoring Algebra.

Later, as a high school math teacher and debate coach, my students achieved a 100% pass-rate on the New York state Regents exams, and were undefeated in their debate league.

In college, I studied Math, Finance, Economics, and Accounting. I graduated with a 3.95 GPA and am a member of Phi Beta Kappa.

After my teaching career, I began a corporate career in finance and accounting. My greatest successes have been when I have coached young professionals to develop their skills, so... I never really left teaching!

I have now left my full time corporate career and opened an independent business consulting firm. Now that my schedule is flexible, I am excited to once again pursue my greatest passion of all -- watching that "ah ha" light bulb turn on in a student's brain!

I highly recommend Yehuda for math tutoring. He has tutored my 13 year old daughter with her 7th grade Accelerated Math since October 2022. We noticed at the beginning of the school year she was struggling in math class. It became apparent she had lost some fundamental math skills and needed help as a result of the COVID school closures and virtual learning. She was getting frustrated and was losing confidence in herself. Her improvement since working with Yehuda has been remarkable. Her math grade has improved from a 60 to an 86. Yehuda didn’t just go over her school work, he identified where her learning gaps were and which concepts she needed help understanding. His instruction taught her not just “how” to do the work, but the “why” for doing it a certain way. He is personable, funny and has done a great job getting her back on track to succeed in math.

Yehuda is knowledgeable of the pre-calculus subject matter my daughter is learning in school. He is patient with her when she is struggling, and he has taken the time to earn her trust. He has flexibility with his scheduling and is responsive to our, her parents, questions.
These are the important details that matter to us parents.

Yehuda not only helped my daughter by giving her great test taking strategy tips, but he also encouraged her and helped her gain confidence in herself and her abilities.

Yehuda was a truly fantastic tutor, I cannot recommend him enough. I worked with him through my junior and senior year of high school to prepare for the ACT. Yehuda is a very personable tutor who makes learning fun and engaging. He pays attention to every student’s unique skills and characteristics to make them as successful as possible. Whenever I had an issue or something I couldn’t figure out, he would go above and beyond to find ways to make sure that I understood it completely and fully. He teaches in a clear and entertaining manner, something that was instrumental to my level of engagement and understanding. He is able to figure the unique aspects and challenges a student has and works with them to solve those things. He adapts to the student and their specific learning needs. I learned invaluable techniques that drastically improved my productivity and changed my approach to tests completely, something I still use today while in college. The skills you learn are things that are useful far past the test you are preparing for. Working with Yehuda is not just an investment into your student’s test scores, but also an investment into the rest of their academic future.

It was quickly apparent that Yehuda knew what he was doing and would be able to help my son improve his test scores. They went up several points which meant we received more merit-based scholarship money. It was definitely worth the investment! I later hired Yehuda to provide support at the NH private school where I work. We saw an increase in test scores for every student who participated.

I worked with Yehuda for about 6 months when I was in high school and he greatly improved my performance on the ACT. His methods were very helpful and his test-taking strategies that he taught me helped me improve in places that I didnt even think I needed to improve in. I first worked with Yehuda through a school program, but even after the program finished, Yehuda continued to reach out and cared about how I was performing and preparing, which is a sign of dedication to his students. Yehudas help led to a 7 point increase from my first practice test to my final ACT, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a tutor, some extra help, or an academic mentor!

Frequently asked questions

Before formally engaging with a client, I speak with them (and the student, if they wish to join the discussion) to gain an in-depth understanding from them of the outcomes they seek from the tutoring process. Once I have that information, I can lay out a view of a customized plan for tutoring that accounts for the student's goals, strengths and weaknesses.

I helped my best friend through math class in middle school. He did so well that word got around and by 9th grade the parents of other classmates were paying me to prepare their kids for the New York state Regents exams! Not a bad gig for a 13 year old :)

My students range from elementary school to graduate school. I have succeeded with students across the spectrum, from those struggling to just keep up with their peers (in some cases due to developmental and learning disabilities) to those who are ahead of the pack and seek enrichment to supplement the schoolwork that comes easily to them.

In addition to traditional academics, I have extensive test prep experience, including but not limited to SAT, ACT, ISEE, SSAT, SHSAT & GED. While many of my students have hit the 99th percentile on their tests and gone on to the nation's most pretigious high schools and universities, I have also successfully worked with many students whose goal was to attend a mid-level school and needed to boost their scores to solidify their application.
