On average, students take 9 to 50 sessions.

Reviews for Mount Vernon math tutors

Recent success stories from people in the Mount Vernon area.
Michael R.
TutorsPro is a life savor! There are so many positives! First, their tutors are very flexible with their time. There are numerous occasions where I need more time to work with my tutor or I have a conflict with a session, but the tutors always work with my schedule to make sure I never feel behind in class. They are willing to sacrifice extra time out of their life to make room for students to make sure they feel comfortable in any subject. Additionally, they are very easy to communicate with. I have never had a problem where we are not on the same page with session times. They are very happy to communicate with us and they always make sure there is room for a session. Lastly, most importantly, they always teach in a way where all students can understand. My grades would significantly be lower without a tutor in TutorsPro. I highly recommend TutorsPro if students want to be successful in a specific class.

My daughter took SAT Math with Zand for a couple of weeks (I approached him only 2 weeks before her SAT). He did a great job in identifying her weak areas within a short period of time and worked on them. His teaching, practice sessions and homework gave her a lot of confidence and earned her a high score in SAT Math. Zand is very knowledgeable and disciplined! Thank you Zand!
