“This semester I was struggling through a Calculus 3 college course. About halfway through the semester, I enlisted the help of Zach. Zach has helped through challenging problem sets and test preparation on a week-by-week basis. He is very knowledgeable on all of the topics my class has gone over and more often than not is able to explain the concepts in a helpful and easy-to-understand way. Every session I feel like I understand more about everything we went over. Most importantly, Zach has taught me the process and given me good strategies to understand mathematics better! I definitely recommend him if you are struggling in any math class (especially if you are not really a math person like I am) as Zach has made learning math not only fun but also relatively easy once you get into a session with him!”

“Zach has been great and has helped me grasp a lot of unfamiliar concepts. I can tell he is an experienced tutor and has lots of extra resources to help as well. 10/10”
— Carmine, 16 lessons with Zach
“I am very happy with Zach. He has been tutoring my son in B/C Calculus. Miles has had several tutors for his math classes, and he says the only tutor who knows how to help him immediately without looking up material for references is Zach. He works very well with my son and is an expert in Math. Thank you !”

“Working on my SAT and AP Calculus AB with Zach has been one of the best academic decisions I’ve made. He takes difficult topics and break them into manageable, understandable pieces, and they always make sure I truly understand the “why” behind every step. Zach's SAT strategies for math have helped me raise my scores, and his Calc explanations have helped me perform better on quizzes, tests, and FRQs. He is patient, supportive, and extremely knowledgeable, and every session feels productive and personalized. I have gained so much confidence in SAT prep and Calculus because of his teaching, and I would highly recommend Zach to anyone looking to improve in math. Beyond just teaching, he has shown genuine care for my progress and always make sure I leave each session feeling clearer and more confident than when I walked in. Zach adapts to my learning style, gives me targeted practice, helps me identify my weak spots quickly, and know exactly how to help me fix them. His ability to simplify complex ideas while still challenging me has completely changed how I approach problem solving in certain topics. Thanks to Zach, I feel prepared....not just for tests, but for staying ahead in class and understanding math in a deeper level.”

“Zach set the pace of the lesson based on the student's comfort level and was very effective. We hope to have more lessons scheduled with him in the near future”
— June, 1 lesson with Zach
“We are incredibly grateful for the support and expertise Zach provided over the past two days. His clear explanations, patience, and deep understanding of AP Pre-Calculus made a huge difference in a very short time. Concepts that once felt overwhelming suddenly made sense, and the boost in confidence was immediate. Zach has a remarkable ability to break down complex problems and guide students through them in a way that truly sticks. We’re so impressed with his teaching that we’ve decided to continue working with him for the rest of this school year and plan to use him next year for AP Calculus. Highly recommend Zach to any student looking for effective, reliable support in math!”

“Zach worked with me before my Calculus III final. He was very knowledgeable, patient and explained topics very clearly. He provided lots of examples and well structured notes. He also made sure I understood the foundations of each topic before moving on to more advanced problems. Thank you Zach.”
— Jim, 7 lessons with Zach
“Zach taught me applications to the Taylor series. We also looked at how to evaluate an infinite sum by comparing it to known Taylor series. Zach is very nice and patient.”
— Kimberly, 2 lessons with Zach
“Zach was consistently an excellent communicator and educator throughout our dozens of sessions. You'll find Zach invests in his students and utilizes technology effectively. Even more impressive is Zach's mathematical depth. This depth is one of the reasons I got an A on my undergraduate (math) senior thesis. I know at minimum, Zach completed a year of graduate complex analysis and then wrote a Ph.D. thesis in complex analysis in several complex variables. Furthermore, Zach did his Ph.D. in Mathematics at an institution with two professors who were the country's best at the latter topic which shows that Zach's mathematical depth is the best”

— Dillon, 18 lessons with Zach
“Zach and I covered various topics for my Multivariable Calculus exam, some of which were more abstract and some of which were more applied. In any case, Zach presented answers to problems in a very digestible manner. I'm incredibly happy to have found him on Wyzant and I I plan to continue with him for the remainder of the semester (and perhaps even beyond)!”
— Eleni, 16 lessons with Zach
“Zach communicated quickly and was very flexible for scheduling. He did a great job with my college freshman son in preparation for a Calc 2 exam. Zach explained things well for my son and improved his confidence going into the exam. Would definitely use for tutoring again!”
— Valerie, 1 lesson with Zach
“Zach is great at explaining difficult and challenging topics. He is very thorough and makes sure I don't miss anything the homework problems are asking for and require as part of the solution.”
— Tea, 32 lessons with Zach
“I am a self-study learner, working on topology from a textbook and some online resources. Zach has been a fantastic tutor: he takes a lot of time to think over and explain the problems, and also assigns me the right problems to work. He's really fun to work with, and I think he would also be great for a high school student. Highly recommended.”
— David , 15 lessons with Zach
“Zach helped me work through integrals on calculus, and it was very helpful to see how everything needed to be done, step by step with all the formulas necessary. The lesson was very straightforward and easy to comprehend, which greatly assisted me. I feel like the lesson helped me increase my understanding of integrals.”
— Isaac, 34 lessons with Zach
“We reviewed topics in real analysis to help me prepare for an exam. Zach answered all my questions and provided me with additional practice problems to solve. He also agreed to meet me at a nonstandard time because of scheduling constraints I faced. Highly recommended.”

“Zach has been teaching our son calculus. He is very thorough and is able to quickly ascertain where focus needs to be placed. Our son has gotten 100% on his last two tests. The results are evident.”
— Cagdas, 40 lessons with Zach
“We studied topology and abstract algebra. Zach was incredibly patient. There were times that I would have been frustrated with me, but Zach never displayed any impatience whatsoever. I'll continue to work with him, as not only did he help me improve my grades, but, more importantly, he helped me develop a deeper intuition of the topics at hand.”
— Patrick, 27 lessons with Zach
“Zach assisted me with the midterm review, providing valuable insights and various methods to solve the complex variables question, such as the Cauchy integral formula. In addition, he explained and gave me pointers on how to draw precise figures, interpret them, and then translate them into writing a simple formula. Overall, I learned a lot during the sessions and am now fully prepared for the midterm.”
— Peerapat, 12 lessons with Zach
“Zach showed me some methods to solve Differential Equations and how to identify the right tool to get a solution. What I liked is that Zach was already prepared beforehand with reference tables and definitions on how to identify the type of Differential Equation and what tool is needed to solve it. He was very patient with me explaining over concepts needed before solving Differential Equations.”

— Landon, 1 lesson with Zach
“Before meeting Zach I was in search of a tutor who's schedule was flexible and who went into detail explaining the different concepts I was learning in class, thankfully Zach met both of those qualifications. After I leave each session, I feel that I understand the material better and even if I don't I am comfortable with messaging Zach for further guidance and he always responds within the next hour. Would definitely recommend! Thanks Zach!”
— Collum, 23 lessons with Zach
“Loved how he taught me and I understood everything pretty well I’ll be needing his help more often and hope to see him next time.”
— Allen, 3 lessons with Zach
“I am in my last semester of college before I graduate with a bachelor's degree in math. I thought my last semester would be easy since I signed up for a history of calculus but it has proved to be challenging. To make matters worse, life events caused me to fall behind on the first five homework assignments. The due dates were all approaching quickly and I needed help quickly. I reached out to Dr. Zach for assistance. He has been very accommodating with my schedule and has explained all the concepts thoroughly despite the concepts being kind of all over the place. He's also been polite, professional, and very patient - an all-around awesome tutor! If you need an amazing tutor to help with upper-level math, I highly recommend Dr. Zach!”
— Jasmine, 8 lessons with Zach
“Zach has been a great tutor so far. He explains AP calculus concepts/problems thoroughly to make sure I actually understand, no matter how much time it takes and has a flexible schedule, really showing his dedication and patience. Thanks a lot!”
— Nancy, 11 lessons with Zach
“Zach worked with me twice before my first finite math test and helped clear up so many of my questions. I got a 94 on that test and his tutoring is definitely the reason I did so well! Would recommend!!”
— Jason, 18 lessons with Zach
“In the first session I had with Zach, we had an unexpected technical difficulty that was neither my nor Zach's fault which made it difficult to communicate. Zach went out of his way to make sure that I still got the tutoring help I needed!I had a great lesson and have already booked a second session.”
— John, 2 lessons with Zach
“Zach helped me with a proof presentation for a college level senior Mathematics course. He was extremely knowledgeable and carefully explained each point. After the presentation I was given some follow up questions. Zach and I could not find a time we could both meet for a tutoring session, but he took time to message me some very valuable notes on my responses. I highly recommend Zach as a tutor!”
— Kevin, 1 lesson with Zach
“Zach said he felt uncomfortable during the session because I was unable to talk and he could not adapt to the situation and left the tutor session immediately after that. His actions and tone seemed way too excessive for the small minor set back (no voice) I had. If he DEMANDS voice on for the student to be during the session, he should put it in his tutor information.”
— Alex, 1 lesson with Zach
“my experience with Zach has been very good, he is a great teacher. We have worked on differential equations and other concepts that are related. I was pleasantly surprised at the fact that he is also knowledgeable about other mathematical concepts and I plan on working with him with my other university courses. -Sina”
— Sina, 27 lessons with Zach
“Zach is an awesome tutor. I needed a lot of tutoring in my Calculus II course and he has been very helpful so far. He evidently has a strong understanding of the concepts in the course and has done a great job of explaining them to me. It’s clear that he places an emphasis on understand and will re-explain concepts at a greater depth if they’re not understood the first time. Would definitely recommend!”
— Udoka, 6 lessons with Zach
“Zach was very patient and helped me get a better grip on concepts I didn't understand. He explains them very well and step by step so I get a better understanding. I will definitely recommend Zach and I look forward to having classes with him in the future.”
— Kavitha, 3 lessons with Zach
“Zach did a wonderful job helping me go through a Number Theory problem Set. He helped me review concepts I had forgotten and solidified my understanding of the subject. We covered Quadratic Reciprocity, Legendre symbols, Euler’s criterion, and proofs. He’s quite knowledgeable and knows how to teach. I would highly recommend him as a tutor!”
