Lavinia H.

16 Precalculus lessons

Gerard has many great qualities as a tutor. His tutoring contributed to my son's significant improvement in precalculus. Prior to tutoring sessions with Gerard, my son did not grasp the basic concepts of precalculus, and his grade had declined. Once Gerard started working with my son, precalculus became more clear and comprehensible to him for the first time.
Cora R.

5 Precalculus lessons

This is a huge triumph for me considering I had very limited knowledge of precalculus concepts before doing the class. I would HIGHLY recommend her if you are struggling in subjects that she tutors in. She has fantastic ways of remembering concepts in precalculus and I look forward to continue working with her so I can improve my knowledge and skill in precalculus!🙂
Natalie S.

3 Precalculus lessons

My son found him to be very easy to understand. His guidance through the additional tutoring sessions were very helpful in obtaining the necessary results for doing well on the final exam. John prepared him in the following steps, Precalculus concepts, textbook sections, example problems, extra problems, questions; Precalculus review using the Precalculus Final Review document. We were so grateful that John could tutor him on such short notice. My son will definitely use John again in the future.
