Testimonials

Mr.Stefan is a phenomenal math coach. For the past seven years we have diligently worked together to improve my math skills. In the 5th grade I was diagnosed with ADHD and Math Dyslexia (dyscalculia).  At first I felt sad, ashamed, and alone. However, when I started working with Mr.Stefan all those feelings disappeared. He inspired me to have confidence in myself and assured me that whatever I didn’t understand we would work through it together. Mr.Stefan has opened my eyes to new tools and resources such as color coding, math illustrations, and “maintaining my picture.” These tools have helped me learn and process math in a way that best fits my learning style. After years of practice and determination, I went from struggling in all of my math classes to receiving A’s in Algebra, Geometry, and Algebra 2 classes. I not only consider Mr.Stefan a great math coach but also a trustworthy and dear friend. I always look forward to our sessions, especially our check- ins. This is the time where we share how our days are going, discuss family, school, or even his cats Bartholomew and Bermuda. Lastly, I always know that I can come to Mr.Stefan with both professional and personal matters and he will give me his honest point of view. Mr.Stefan’s teachings and guidance have truly been invaluable and I could not ask for a better tutor.
