Student Testimonials

Evaluations received from students/parents who participated in individualized private tutoring sessions with me

"Dr. T. has all the qualities that make a perfect math tutor. He has been a professor for many years so he is very knowledgeable. He had no issues with any of my subjects in my differential equations course. As long as you prepare for your sessions with him and tell him ahead of time what you would like to go over, I can guarantee that you will have a very productive hour. He does a very good job of making the whole hour count. I would recommend Dr. T to any student who is struggling in a math class.", Joe S., Dec. '14

"Dr. T. was great for helping me prepare for my Calculus III exam. He was extremely knowledgeable on the material and provided me with alternative approaches (that actually made sense) to solve some of the problems that I was having trouble with. Study groups are great, office hours and the math lab are helpful, but to be able to target your weak areas from someone who has taught the material made a big difference in my understanding. If you are struggling in Calculus then this is your guy!", John L. , April '14

"Dr. T., I just wanted to take a moment and finally send you a proper thank you. I truly appreciate how much time and effort you gave during your tutoring sessions with Bryan. We received his report card today. .... we realize we have you to thank! ...., we are very grateful for all of your help and the grade that Bryan ended with. Thank you so much for your thorough and patient tutoring sessions. We will be in touch for next school year. Enjoy your summer!", Amy V., June '16

"Dr. T is very professional and knowledgeable. I had to use his services to study for an upcoming OAR (military readiness exam) and after a few tutoring sessions I feel much more comfortable going into the exam. He is patient and explains the material thoroughly. I would recommend his services to anyone looking to advance their math skills.", Sean K., Aug. '17

"Dr. T has tutored my son for the past three years. Because of his tutoring sessions, he has become one of the better students in his math class. Dr. T is more than qualified as a tutor; he has a PhD in mathematics and has taught a several universities for the past 20-25 years. He is very knowledgeable, patient, and insightful.

I doubt there is a better math tutor around -", Alec S., Sept., '17

"Dr. T has been a great help in tutoring me for the Math portion of the FTCE exam. He is extremely knowledgeable and explains concepts in simple terms. I would highly recommend his services.", L. Swan, Oct. '17

"I had a last minute exam that I needed help in College Algebra with. Dr. T came to rescue the day before my exam with all the patience in the world. He is very professional and has an eye for knowing when you need extra help on a problem. He helped me score a 97 on my exam. Anytime I need help I will definitely be back.",C. Wilson, Oct. '17

"I am a 28 year old returning to college after a 7-8 year hiatus from personal issues, and I am terrible with mathematics. I needed someone to help catch me up on algebraic concepts and to truly understand where I am mathematically. I am taking Calculus, Statistics and Computer Programming all in the same semester, and Dr. T is helping me catch up with calculus (the one i'm mainly struggling with). I bombed my first quiz, and then looked to Dr T. to help me. My FIRST quiz in calculus after 2 sessions with him I scored a 90%. I am still a work in progress and I meet with Dr T weekly. He is understanding, non-judgmental, and will repeat anything as many times as you need if you don't understand. He listens to you and more importantly explains the concepts on paper in front of you with clear instructions step to step. Thanks for helping me improve my grade in calculus so far! Be prepared to learn though, he is not there to do the course for you, he is there to instill the knowledge needed to pass the course!", C. Wadsworth, Feb. '18

"Dr. T has been a great help for my son. He was struggling with AP Calculus BC when he began getting tutoring from Dr. T. Dr. T worked with his schedule and was able to see him once a week after school. He was very patient with my son and helped him understand key concepts. Dr. T worked through math problems and assisted him with preparation for quizzes and tests. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a very knowledgeable teacher/tutor.", B. Battle, March '18

"Dr. T was extremely helpful for me when it came to tutoring. I used his services in high school for Calculus AB/BC and now that I’m in college, use his services again for Differential Equations. He is wonderful at explaining the theory behind concepts and then working through the problems with you. He is always willing for you to interrupt with questions so you don’t get stuck. I would absolutely recommend his services to anyone and I will definitely use his services again.", L. Hunter, April '18

"Thank you so much for all your help!! There is no doubt my kid wouldn't be graduating this year without you!! We will always be grateful.", Ms. Battle April '18

"My son works hard with Dr.T and he is very helpful in explaining problems and how to address the problem.

"With those classes, you will have ...... as your student for his college years if he goes to UNF or FSCJ. You are such a tremendous asset to us! He LOVES you. There is no way he could have made it through the last 2 years of math without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!", Ms. Cooper, May 2019

"He was Amazing, and I''m sad I can not attend his 8:00 class next semester or I would. He would always give us time in class to work on the material so he could answer any questions, after he explained and did examples. He was very patient and knowledgeable. He even offered his help if I find myself struggling next semester, he said we could try to work out something to help me succeed in my math. He would stay up until the very last minute even if there was only one student because he wanted to make sure we were comfortable with the material. He even met with a group of us after class in a different room to go over more examples because we all still had questions. He truly is an Amazing Professor.", Dec. 2015
