Although this student had some holes in his mathematical knowledge base, the majority of his difficulties were 'self-inflicted.' Lacking confidence in his abilities, he was a bit intimidated with the task of addressing them through consistent practice. I simply showed him that he was capable of both completing AND understanding completely the homework problems assigned by his teacher. Once we reviewed some properties and practiced a few basic skills, he was 'off and running.'
I'm quite proud of the progress achived by this student. Hard work and perseverence paid off in very tangible ways for this student, who frequently scored A's and B's as the year progressed.
Our son is a sophomore at Charlotte Christian School taking Algebra II. He has a learning disability and was struggling in this class. We hired Rob to tutor him twice a week beginning in January. The results have been tremendous. Our son has gone from a class average of 74 to an class average of 85 and currently has a 96 average. All this progress has been made in approximately ten weeks.
Rob has the unique ability to explain math concepts to kids in language that they can understand. He has given our son a needed boost in his self-confidence when it comes to math. Rob is always on time, he comes to your house (at times that work for your child) and he always seems excited to help our son. Our experience has been nothing but positive. We have four kids and have had several of them tutored; this is the best arrangement that we have found. We give Rob our highest recommendation.
