I really enjoy learning with Rafe🙂. His teaching style is good , he is calm , patient, and well-structured. He explains every topic clearly and supports his explanations with examples, which makes difficult concepts easier to understand. The online lessons run smoothly, and technical issues are very rare. Communication is always good, and he creates a comfortable learning environment. Thanks to his teaching, I am making steady progress in mathematics. I can definitely recommend him as a tutor.

We have a really great experience with Rafe, the math tutor for my son (10th grade, German Gymnasium). Rafe is very engaged and genuinely invested in teaching, going through the chapters with my son in preparation for his math test in a structured way for the days leading up to it. Rafe was also very flexible and spontaneous when it came to scheduling or rescheduling lessons, which was extremely helpful. They focused on probability (Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung), and Rafe explained everything very clearly, practiced exercises together with my son, and worked directly with his school book. I am very happy with the progress, and we have now continued with a subscription. Highly recommended.

Sherry

My math tutor Rafe is a very good and helpful teacher. He always explains the topics calmly and understandably, so I can grasp them much better. If I don't understand something, he takes his time and explains it to me until I really get it. With his help, I have significantly improved in math. I used to have a lot of problems with tasks, but now I feel much more confident and can solve many tasks on my own. This has also helped me a lot in school. What I particularly like is that Rafe is very patient and makes the lessons enjoyable. He motivates me and gives me tips on how I can learn better. Moreover, he is always friendly and ensures that the lessons are not boring. I am very satisfied with the tutoring from Rafe and can definitely recommend him.

It helps a lot when you bring material so that he knows where you are and where you are struggling. He took over my exercises and we got started right away.

Rafe is a very good, pedagogically trained math teacher. He supports our 8-year-old son excellently and always addresses the individual needs of the children. We really like the learning concept – the children stay in the flow and learn with joy. We especially appreciate how clear and understandable Rafe explains in German. We are very satisfied and can only recommend him!

Montasra

Total friendly and very good lesson structure! Highly recommend! I send him everything I want to work on during the lesson, and we tackle these tasks step by step. Personally, I really like this approach, as I often lack the motivation to simply solve math problems. Rafe helps me a lot with that!

We have been working with Rafe A. during the intensive preparation phase for A-Levels in Physics and Math: Rafe is a highly skilled educator with competent and structured approach in any aspect of the tutoring. Rafe established a natural and empowering rapport to engage and support our two young graduates right from the start. English and German worked equally well between them. The experience with Rafe has been academically very productive and personally enriching for both students. Any family seeking high-quality, individualized learning support: Rafe is an excellent choice.

Rafe is very friendly and helpful in mathematics and was already able to assist me with one or two topics after just a few lessons, so that I was able to apply them independently. Currently, our math unit is taking place in German, and there are no communication problems.
