Hi everyone, my name is Brian. If you are considering Math subject tutoring, SAT tutoring or Writing tutoring, look no further! I'm a graduate of Boston College, and Math and Writing have always been my strongest academic subjects. I want to sit down and work with students to look at what is giving them problems either with academic subjects such as Math or Writing, or with the SAT. No more worrying about those classes and tests in school, and increased readiness and decreased anxiety for the...

My daughter had a math exam as part of a high school application process. We only found out about it a few days before I messaged Brian. He responded immediately and moved his schedule around to make time to tutor my daughter. He was very personable, patient and knowledgeable and made my daughter's least favorite subjects less painful. She felt extremely comfortable doing the test after Brian's review with her.

Brian has been working with my daughter over the last month on SAT Math and he has been great! He is really patient, thorough and knowledgeable. He?s helped my daughter really understand the materials and how to recognized and understand her common mistakes and pitfalls. I wish we had started working with him earlier!

Brian focused on math and English tutoring for SAT. Each week he gave her homework tailored the lesson around the homework and lesson. Very productive sessions.

An important quality in Brian as a math teacher is the ability to help his student form connections with the subject. He will make sure the student understand the concepts rather than just memorizing the equations. He keeps the student engaged and interested in the subject. He is also a good motivator. Thanks Brian for your lessons, it?s totally worth it!

Brian helped my son prepare for the SAT. He quickly put my son at ease and they were able to get to work right away. He was very patient and helpful with content and strategy. Highly recommend!
- Meg M. from Jenkintown, PA
Brian is a very nice tutor, he is sincere, pleasant, patient and detail oriented. Catherine brought up the topics she couldn?t master in school, Brian would patiently go through the problems step by step and make sure that Catherine would be able to solve it by herself. I would recommend Brian for tutoring.
- Min X. from Bryn Mawr, PA
Brian knows how to connect to the student to help them do their best. He takes extra time to make sure our son understands a skill set before moving on. Brian has a large array of knowledge that allows us to change the subject matter without skipping a step.
- Dino C. from Oaks, PA
While we're just really getting started, it's already clear Brian enjoys working with students. He encourages, checks regularly for understanding, rewards through compliments, and is patient with my daughter. With regard to working with me as the parent, he's extremely polite, personable, and solicitous. We're looking forward to working together further with Brian!
- Elizabeth S. from Norristown, PA
Our son who is in the Autism Spectrum was struggling getting through some subjects and the school teachers weren't enough help. He really wants to attend a 4-year college so we knew we needed to get him additional help via private tutoring. Brian has done a wonderful job with him. Brian is very patient and has a way to assist and teach him using different strategies that he better understands. He's well rounded on all subjects and has also began SAT prep with him as he's a Junior in HS this year. Our son's counselor said this is his best year yet. We are confident that Brian has helped him get to where he is.
- Sonia C. from Mount Laurel, NJ
Very patient and really makes sure my daughter has a good grasp of material before moving on. Breaks things down to make problems easier to figure out. We have been using him now a few times a week preparing for upcoming SAT.
- Andreas P. from Voorhees, NJ
My daughter and son like the way he tutors. Patient, understanding, and also he explains the work very simply for my children to understand it. Talking to Brian is like talking to an old friend that you have known for a long time. I give him 5+ because he deserves it.
- Jenine M. from Cherry Hill, NJ
The first lesson with Brian was incredibly helpful and made me very optimistic about my chances with the GMAT. He tailored his lesson specifically to how I learn best and taught me easy to use math tricks. I'm definitely looking forward to our next lesson.
- Yasmine K. from King Of Prussia, PA
Brian was very easy to talk to and my son seemed to engage and listen. He is actually looking forward to getting better in this subject.
- Shirley D. from Bensalem, PA
My daughter has been working with Brian for a while now: she needed some help with Algebra 2 her sophomore year. She was meeting with Brian every 2 weeks for 2 hours throughout school year and ended up with an A. Right now, Brian is helping her get ready for PSAT. We will most likely continue throughout her junior year to make sure she is ready for SAT. Brian is very knowledgeable, patient, always on time and - needless to say - effective.
- Monika S. from Newtown, PA
Brian has been very helpful in walking me through problems step by step. He doesn't ask trick questions and when I miss something, he never hesitates to re-explain it or attempt to walk me through the problem an alternative way. I don't feel dumb asking questions and feel that the work in between sessions that he asks me to do is reasonable and beneficial to me. I've already noticed an improvement in my thought process when approaching mathematical problems, which has resulted in both a boost of the number of questions I am getting correct as well as my confidence. Definitely recommend Brian to others in the Philadelphia area who are looking for a GMAT tutor. Brian also charges a very reasonable price for his sessions.
- Abbey W. from Philadelphia, PA
Brian has been working with my daughter for several weeks now. When they started my daughter was struggling to obtain C?s. Brian helped her understand the material and has given her a new confidence. She now has a solid B in the class and received her first A on a test last week. Brian is patient and fun and extremely nice. I?m so lucky to have found such an awesome teacher for my daughter. I would give Brian 10 stars!!!
- Philip G. from Chalfont, PA
My son seemed to appreciate the advice given to him by Brian. We appreciated how patient he was while tutoring Luis. Seems like this was a good match. Looking forward to working with Brian.
- Arlinda P. from Philadelphia, PA
Brian helped my daughter gain more confidence. She is grasping the concepts much sooner and has a more thorough understanding of the content. Additionally he works at the pace needed for each topic to be thoroughly comprehended.
- Laura P. from Fort Washington, PA
My daughter's first session with Brian was successful. Brian is helping my daughter prepare for her SAT's in December. My daughter is continuing her weekly sessions with Brian.
