I only recently started asking my clients for references, and I only ask them of students with whom I have formed an ongoing relationship. "After working with Josh for 6 weeks, I scored a 94% on my Calculus II final exam and an A for the course, after struggling very much up to the first midterm. I truly don't believe that I would have had the time to study on my own and achieve these results. His teaching techniques were effective, and saved me hours upon hours of study time. As a working professional going back to school, his service were perfect. I would recommend him to anyone." -Hani T. Email: bosstab4@aol.com Classes: Charles Groth for BMS 126 at DePaul University
Robert Belin for MTH 150 at Moraine Valley Community College Side note: There were a few instances in which I hadn't already learned the business material Hani and I were to cover. I read ahead, learned it myself, and within 10 minutes began teaching Hani! (He got the questions right on the homework, and consistently scored in the top three in a class of 30.) "Josh did an excellent job tutoring my daughter in Pre-calc BC last year (spring 2011). My daughter attends Walter Payton College Prep and is quite strong in math, but last year she was struggling to maintain an A. Josh helped my daughter increase her understanding of mathematical principles and also introduced her to several practical strategies for approaching different types of problems. He constructed practice tests that prepared her well for the exams. We turned to Josh after my daughter received a particularly low score on an exam. On the very next test, her score was 111% (with extra credit, of course) and on the final, she scored a 98 - scores that she very much attributes to her work with Josh. My daughter has already asked if she can meet with Josh again next year as she takes AP Calc- BC. She would also like his help preparing her for the SATII math exam and the AP Calculus BC exam. The only regret I have is that we didn't enlist his help earlier in the academic year. " -Susan L. "Josh did a fantastic job helping my daughter prepare for standardized tests before a move to a new state. He was able to provide guidance on test-taking strategies, review the material she had learned previously, and teach her the topics that she had not yet covered. It definitely gave her tremendous peace of mind, and boosted her confidence." -S Margulis "A lot of the problems you made up yourself were very similar to ones on the exam." -J Speh "Josh is a great tutor! He is quite knowledgeable and very good at explaining ideas that I did not understand in class. I have a much better understanding of Calculus than I would have without him. I have no problem recommending Josh as a tutor!" -James, University of Chicago, Calculus 150's student. "I used Josh's Tutoring Services....and he was GREAT!!! Josh is available on short-notice and has complete mastery of mathematics and all quantitative reasoning subject matter [on standardized tests]. I strongly encourage any professional in need of these skills sets to retain Josh. He is a professional at his craft." -Nkrumah Hopkins "Josh has been tutoring my daughter in Honors Geometry for just about 4 months now and we have been very happy with his abilities. He is very detailed in his explanations and is very good at letting HER find the solutions. He seems to be very versed in geometry, he's patient, professional and very accommodating. Her grades and confidence continue to improve while working with him. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a tutor." -Carmela M. Email: facilityserv@hotmail.com "Josh is Great! He's been tutoring Algebra to [my son] Luca a few times a week for about 6 months now, and we've really seen an improvement in his grades since we've started. He identified what Luca specifically needed to target to maximize his grades, and gave a plan of action for the path to an A! He makes sure Luca understands the material in depth and is helping him develop independence and confidence in his mathematical ability. I highly recommend Josh!" -Antonetta Christian Email: antonettac@earthlink.net |
