As someone who suffers from math anxiety, I was crestfallen when I learned that I would be required to take precalculus. I dreaded the prospect of having to spend another year struggling to complete the assigned homework with a passing grade. However, through Max’s guidance, this dread morphed into a feeling of empowerment. Max’s ceaseless positivity, coupled with his witty jokes, alleviated much of the anxiety I felt about the course material. With Max’s help, I found myself adopting a new mentality when tackling seemingly insurmountable math problems, and instead of buckling under the stress, I found myself rising to the occasion. I would highly recommend Max to anyone who struggles with math and needs a kind, patient, and knowledgeable tutor.

Alix, 93 lessons with Max

Max was an outstanding tutor for my daughter. He was incredibly patient and never talked over her. Instead, he gave her the space to think through each problem and guided her in the right direction when she needed it. I appreciated the way he encouraged her to find the solutions. By the end of the session, she felt more confident and empowered to solve these particular trigonometry equations. Highly recommend Max for anyone looking for a supportive and effective tutor.

LaTaiasha, 1 lesson with Max

Max is helping me with college trig courses and to say the least he’s by far the best tutor i’ve ever had. Math has always been a struggle with me but Max is patient and explains it in ways that make it easier for me to understand and relay back in my work. Never been a fan of math but he’s helping me get through it without wanting to rip all my hair out. I’d give 10 stars if I could!

Selena, 5 lessons with Max

Max worked with my daughter on her College Algebra . He is a great support for her class since her class in totally virtual. He makes sure she works the problem and out he guides her to make the solutions. This way she really learns the material.

Avishag, 11 lessons with Max

My son is trying to catch up on Math after being out of school for medical issues. We have essentially been on our own trying to get him caught up and we got a bit stuck in a chapter where I knew my old math ways were not going to help. A quick outreach to Max and a bit of background and he jumped right in and got my son through the specific topic he was stuck on. It helped his confidence and moved us through a very frustrating patch. I will absolutely reach out to Max again. He presents very kindly and clearly appreciates how math can be intimidating so he leads with an intentional assurance that he is there to help.

Teacher Max is very organized and prepares before each lesson. My teenage son says "Teacher Max is able to pinpoint the areas where I need help, works through it with me, making me feel more confident about each type of math problem that I encounter".

Winnie, 17 lessons with Max

Max has been working with my son for a year. He needed help with his math, and attends a school where subjects are self taught using online platforms. Max has been instrumental in adding in extra instruction to help him understand areas he needs another viewpoint or a new or deeper explanation. He is ahead of schedule and looks forward to his lessons with Max to delve in and make sure he has a solid understanding.

We were so lucky to receive Max as our tutor on our first time using this app. He is kind, patient, and understanding! He is fantastic with my 12 year old, low vision daughter. He will be our “go to” tutor from here on out.

Melissa, 3 lessons with Max

Max has been great with my 15 year old algebra struggling son. He is very patient and helped tremendously . The recorded lessons were fantastic for us to review and really identified the root of the problems. Max was always on time and did not cancel on us or disappear entirely which was appreciated . Thank you for all and we will see you again the fall !

Christina, 23 lessons with Max

This year was very difficult for me in school especially Pre Calculus, I did not learn or understand a single thing or at least not enough all year long in this subject. When I finally reached out to max for some well needed help he was able to help right away. Since I did not have a lot of time for me to improve my grade and prepare for finals I was a little panicked. But max was able to calm my nerves and take a step back and show me that it really wasn't so hard. He explained the big picture and the little picture to the whole concept which made me understand it. If I didn't understand something he would explain it as many times and in many different ways until I understood.

Sophie, 7 lessons with Max

Max has worked with my son several times and each time my son has found him to be very helpful. Max has helped to build self-confidence in my son by going beyond just helping to solve math problems. It's important to Max that he explain the fundamental concepts to a student so that the student will understand similar problems in the future. He gently guides the student through the maze of difficult problems, asking good questions that prompts a student to think about the next step. I would highly recommend Max and we look forward to working with him in the future!

Judy, 6 lessons with Max

Max explained my precalculus questions well and we got through a lot in just one session. He even went a little overtime to answer my last question! Overall, I think he cares a lot about making sure you understand the concepts.

Rachel, 1 lesson with Max

My son was really happy, he has been struggling with Algebra and being an honors student, struggling in school is not something he's experienced with. So having the "lightbulb" go on put a smile on his face.

Lauren, 6 lessons with Max

i love to talk to him, and he is alwasy responding super fast! Always gives me the best lesson possible and he is just the best. he makes you do the problem and he is just so geniune and smart!

Jastej, 12 lessons with Max

I'm so glad that she was able to attend her session today. She wasn't feeling her best earlier but she saw the importance of making it to her session. The more she attends the more confidence she will gain.

Ishanti, 6 lessons with Max

I'm glad she feels comfortable and doesn't shut down. I'm also glad you're able to identify the errors in her assigned lessons. I'm looking forward to her ongoing progress.

Ishanti, 6 lessons with Max

I like how everything is going as far as the sessions. The school was providing tutoring once a week which was not effective enough, so this service is more flexible and beneficial.

Ishanti, 6 lessons with Max

Very organized, punctual, and patient. He focuses on progress and building confidence. He's the help I never knew she needed and the reason why I have no regrets about not going with anyone else.

Ishanti, 6 lessons with Max

A lot of people know how to teach BUT few are able to connect and identify each student's needs. Max is good at this particular skill set. My child was exhausted from being in school all day(online)and then going straight to night school(online) and then straight to tutoring. If Max didn't know what he was doing she would have totally canceled. Thanks for another successful lesson!!!!

Ishanti, 6 lessons with Max

Max was great he explained it well to a child who doesn't particularly favor the subject of math. She experienced some technical difficulties trying to log on in the beginning but he showed up promptly and ready and was patient until we got it together. Thank you very much.

Ishanti, 6 lessons with Max

Helped me understand a probability problem for a graduate course! Great explanation and even reviewed formulating summation equations which helped deepen my understanding from beyond that of my calculator.

Samuel, 1 lesson with Max

He really works with me so that I understand the problem, Scheduling is flexible, patient, very helpful and genuine. If anyone is having difficulties understanding math problems and how to work them this is the tutor to contact. I really enjoy working with him.
