Testimonials
Denzel C. from San Jose, CA Thank you for being compassionate and really patient! Words can't express how much confidence you instill in me before my finals. Once again; THANK YOU!
Maryam E. from Cupertino, CA Peter changed our ideas about hiring a tutor. His responsibility and thought about our daughter's progress, his communication skills through email to help and add improvements and his fairness, kindness, and skill were amazing. We felt like he was caring about our daughter's improvement as much as he cares about his own family members. We really appreciated Peter's efforts and absolutely recommend him to anybody who is looking for a wonderful tutor.
Nic E. from Los Gatos, CA Peter is very knowledgeable when it comes to Discrete Mathematics. He takes time to go through the examples in the text book step by step and demystifies the overly complicated with real time explanations that just make sense. I've used him for two 2 hour sessions so far and it has helped me overcome my difficulties with the subject. Highly recommended.
Ellen W. from Stanford, CA Peter is very thoughtful. He appreciates the student's personality. He excels at assessing a student's needs and how best to work with the student. He is very patient. My child is very appreciative of Peter's help. I think he will help fortify my child's foundation in algebra.
Bryan P. from Cupertino, CA Mr. T has great experience in the subject areas of Calculus and Algebra. Very helpful to students who desire to expand their knowledge in mathematics. His intuition in solving complex math problems is most helpful. He was prompt and polite. I would definitely recommend him.
Rachel H. from Palo Alto, CA Peter is simply the best tutor we've ever come across ? by far! My daughter has always had issues with math and then was diagnosed with a learning disability. We've gone through countless tutors. We found Peter to help with both algebra and statistics and he was somehow able to figure out how to explain things to my daughter in a way that she understood, helping her connect the dots. This is an invaluable attribute in a tutor. He is amazing. Peter cares. He goes above and beyond. I can?t recommend him enough.
Gina O. from Palo Alto, CA Peter is a fantastic tutor! He is always so patient and flexible. He really connects with our daughter and has made a huge difference for her in helping her get through the year with improved confidence (and grades) in math. We highly recommend him.
Jane Y. from Palo Alto, CA We are very satisfied with Peter's tutoring of Algebra 1 for my son during this summer who will be a 8 grader soon. And he is a the most wonderful math tutor we have ever used for the reasons below: 1)punctual and well prepared every time 2)well organized and planned, and he helped my kid finish learning the whole new book of Algebra 1 (HOLT) within the summer. 3)quick in response to our questions 4)patient and always encourage kid to learn better We are very happy to find such a good tutor. And if we have future math tutoring needs for middle school or high school, we will definitely use his service again.
Orchid G. from Los Altos, CA Peter has been tutoring our daughter in Algebra 2 honors. He is very patient and thorough! He truly seems to care about the learning experience and is an excellent teacher. He keeps focused and gives relevant practice work for our 14 year old to do on her own. He's also been flexible with her busy schedule. We are very happy to have connected with him!
