Kachi A.
Rob is very good at establishing rapport with my children. He challenges them consistently and provides real-time feedback to optimize their understanding and performance. They have been receiving glowing reports at school with just a few months of tutoring. I recommend Rob for all ages K-12.

Laura was warm and friendly, endlessly patient, and made algebra fun for an overwhelmed student. Thanks to her, I was able to successfully "challenge" (get at least an 85% on the exam without having taken the class) the algebra Regents exam in NY state, which then allowed me to take the advanced math track in high school. I did ultimately graduate valedictorian, so Laura definitely set me up for success!
