Tessa was a great fit for my calculus student. We went through a couple tutors before we found her, but found her to be an expert in the subject and good at explaining difficult problems. Looking forward to preparing for the ap test with her.

SHERRY, 8 lessons with Tessa

My son really liked working with Tessa! She helped him where many other were not able to. We will definitely use Tessa for all of his future math/statistics needs. Thanks Tessa!

Mia, 10 lessons with Tessa

My daughter has been working with Tessa for a few weeks now for help with her AP Stats class and her grades have gone up and she is so much more confident. Tessa is amazing and we will ci to he using her this year!

Brandi, 29 lessons with Tessa

Tessa has been a great teacher to my kid. Statistics has been a learning curve & one that is made a little easier when there is a teacher like Tessa helping connect the dots.

Angeline, 3 lessons with Tessa

Tessa is the best! She always takes her time in explaining problems, and she goes into detail as how we find the solution, making sure I understand each step. She is very patient and kind, she helps me so much!

Dina, 13 lessons with Tessa

Tessa jumped in to support my kiddo in their final 3 weeks of college intro to statistics. From their first session, Tessa had my daughter feeling more confident. She was able to quickly build my daughter’s skills and hone in on the areas she needed to improve. During those three weeks, with Tessa’s tutoring, my daughter’s grade went up one full letter. The final hasn’t been scored, but we are optimistic that she did quite well and we’ll see another gain in grade.

Lynn, 6 lessons with Tessa

Tessa is an incredible tutor who has helped me grasp the mathematical foundations of algorithm design, especially weak and strong induction. Before working with her, I struggled to understand the logic behind proofs and how to apply induction effectively. She not only explained the concepts clearly but also guided me through challenging proofs step by step, making sure I truly understood the reasoning behind each step. What sets Tessa apart is her patience and structured approach—she doesn’t just give answers but helps you build the intuition needed to tackle proofs on your own. Thanks to her, I feel much more confident in my problem-solving skills and ready to apply these techniques in my coursework. If you need a tutor who is knowledgeable, patient, and excellent at explaining difficult mathematical concepts, Tessa is the perfect choice! Highly recommend!

Christopher, 2 lessons with Tessa

Tessa is very experienced AP Stats tutor. My daughter struggled to understand the materials in school, but Tessa always manages to help. I daughter tried out a few sessions at the beginning, and decided to continue with Tessa for the rest of school year, to prepare for AP.

Peggy, 51 lessons with Tessa

My Daughter has done seven one hour lessons with Tessa and she is very happy with her style of teaching. Tessa makes it easy to understand the material and she has more than one approach. Tessa does not get upset of make remarks if my daughter has a question; she explains it again or she shows her using a different way. We are very happy with Tessa.

My daughter was struggling in her AP Statistics class. We tried various tutors but the only one that seemed to click with my daughter was Tessa. My daughter is doung really well now thanks to Tessa.

Mia, 7 lessons with Tessa

Tessa throughly & patiently covered missed & misunderstood concepts from Stat. Methods I class including: areas under a normal curve & calculating being r% confident that at least one success will occur in a binomial distribution. Excellent tutor.

Nell, 3 lessons with Tessa

Tessa helped me understand what we are going over in my Statistics. She did a far better job than the teacher! I will continue to work with her throughout the semester. I highly recommend her!

Jackson, 3 lessons with Tessa

Tessa is very patient and helped my son with his queries related to calculus. Tessa was very helpful in adjusting the time slot. My son was able to grasp the concepts very quickly and easily. We will be having more future sessions with Tessa.

Anshul, 9 lessons with Tessa

Tessa did an amazing job refining some concepts for my daughter to understand. Aside from the conceptual knowledge, my daughter is now more confident in excelling in the lesson.

Thai, 9 lessons with Tessa

I like how Ms. Tessa explained the concepts with example problems and then requested that my son get his hands on some new problems by himself; effective and simple way to check if he truly understands the concepts well or just pretended he did. Highly recommend Ms. Tessa.

Sally, 1 lesson with Tessa

Tessa was able to help me with my calculus homework related to differentiation and related rates. She really makes sure you do the work, so that you can understand the material. Having taught college calculus herself she really knows how to help. I would definitely recommend Tessa if you are looking for a math tutor.

Sara, 16 lessons with Tessa

I take ib math , Tessa helped me get a better grade on my test and we are also reviewing for my SAT test in March. I will continue to tutor with her one or twice a week depending on my schedule.

Griselle, 5 lessons with Tessa

Tessa keeps teaches me the origin of math concepts from informing about mathematicians throughout history while explaining in detail about each topic of math. I enjoy how she goes the distance in teaching by showing the difference of each definition, and she even creates graphs and charts with different colors to differentiate each section. Her choice in words synthesizes the lesson into long term memory while showing the difference and similarities to avoid confusion for future classes. She is very organized since I provided her with a syllabus and lessons of each week. She also knows how math lessons are usually taught, and she covers topics that are part of the topic that is not mentioned in the class. A nice tutor with class and a healthy sense time management.

Shane, 41 lessons with Tessa

I was struggling with some calculus topics and was getting them confused, but after I went to Tessa's session everything is literally clear now. She broke them down in a way where I understood them and differentiated them from each other in a big picture. She's also caring! I promised her to eat because I neglected myself bc of the exam stress lol. SHES AMAZING!!

Ayah, 11 lessons with Tessa

Tessa did an exceptional job of assessing where my son needed clarification for AP Calculus. He went in doubting a tutor could help. However, he came out of the first session with Tessa understanding where he was confused.

Anonymous, 3 lessons with Tessa

Extremely knowledgeable, professional and patient. She thoroughly explained concepts and provided excellent preparation for exam. Exceptional tutor! Would highly recommend.

Tessa provided the big picture and a road map for preparing for the two big exams facing my daughter. She then provided tutoring on specific concepts and practice problems, in practical terms while leveraging humor.

Kelly, 6 lessons with Tessa

Tessa is a kind and patient tutor. She’s incredibly thorough, and always makes sure that I grasp concepts fully before moving on with the material. She has been an AP Calculus lifesaver. I highly recommend working with Tessa.

Ben, 4 lessons with Tessa

In addition to being patient and kind, she was able to explain things very well. She broke things down to make them understandable and she checked to make sure the concepts were understood.

Crystal, 1 lesson with Tessa

We went over lesson 9.3 for an upcoming test and I felt very confident at the end. We went over notes and practice problems so I was able to understand the concepts clearly. We also went over some calculator functions.

Ashlesha , 10 lessons with Tessa

This was my last session with Tessa before the class final and I couldn’t have passed the class without her! My various sessions with her helped solidify my skills and retaught me concepts I had forgotten about. I definitely recommend tutoring with Tessa!

Camryn, 8 lessons with Tessa

We went over lesson 8.1 for an upcoming quiz and I felt very confident at the end. We went over notes and practice problem so I was able to understand the concepts clearly.

Such a great match for my son! Tessa has so many wonderful skills and tools and creative ideas which resound with my teenage boy. Her patience and positive attitude go a long way! Her notes explaining each session are thorough and clear. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication to supporting him in his process of growing in knowledge and confidence! Not only has she helped him improve his grade from F to C- in one half semester, but spurs on his growth by challenging him to the next level. He feels empowered now even though he is working through some learning disabilities. Tessa makes the lessons interesting to him and he enjoys learning once again from a long hiatus of interest. It is wonderful to see him self-confident in this subject! We are so grateful.

Tessa is a really smart, kind and respectful teacher, waiting for you to assimilate the info before moving on. She's great at what she does and really cares about her students.

Suzette, 10 lessons with Tessa

Tessa W. is an expert, very knowledgeable, trained and know what she's teaching. I love the way she show you how to learn stuff, gives you examples, provides you with books feedback etc. I would keep definitely taking her tutoring once per 2 weeks. She's very helpful and wants you to understand the material and become an expert like her.

Josh, 6 lessons with Tessa

My daughter had her first tutoring session with Tess today. Tess was wonderful at explaining all of the complicated material to her. She went above and beyond really making sure she understood what she was learning. My daughter now understands difficult concepts that she was having a lot of trouble with. My daughter will continue going to Tess for help going forward in her class. I would highly recommend Tess to anyone!

Jill, 49 lessons with Tessa

I was struggling with some topics in Calculus 1 and Tessa helped explain to me these concepts. She worked with me for a few hours and was very patient and helpful. I highly recommend her to someone who needs help in Calculus or any other math subject(although I can not speak from experience for those subjects).

Joseph, 2 lessons with Tessa

Tessa’s particular knowledge of the special needs for my son is exactly what I was hoping we’d find for him! She understands the specific way that he learns best, as she took the time and care to find out. She helped give my son practical tools to inspire him to understand the lessons and retain them after she’d left so that he could have the confidence and satisfaction of completing two remaining problems on his own. Her math knowledge is expert, and she has such an easy manner with teenagers. I’m so happy to have found her!

Kristin, 16 lessons with Tessa

Tessa helped me with calculus and was so helpful, she put things in much simpler terms and helped me remember the basics. Tessa did such a good job at understanding how I learn and teaching me in ways I would understand. She made calculus seem so much simpler and I will Defidently be using her again. She was also very patient and answered all my questions and explained them and didn’t make me feel bad or anything. I recommend Tessa because she teaches in terms a student can understand and is very patient! Thank you Tessa!
