We were delighted by the way that GeorgeTutor sessions benefited our daughter over many months. George designed his delivery to match her level of understanding and definitely built her confidence in mathematics. Our daughter achieved the highest scores on her AP exams, her SAT results were 110 higher than before working with George, and she is now at St. Andrew’s College!

– T.L., Parent, Dallas, TX

Meeting with a tutor can be so intimidating, especially when it comes to numbers talk, but when I met George the conversation was so easy. His teaching style was very approachable and sparked an excitement for me to be successful. I’m so grateful I was referred to him and couldn’t be happier with the results!

– R.R., College Student, Sacramento

George is the best! He turned my daughter’s grades around in Calculus AB and helped her in AP Chemistry & Physics. He worked with her to increase her SAT score by over 100 points with practice results well into the 1500s ! She is now at Cal Poly SLO. I highly recommend George!

– J.W., Leigh High School Parent, CA

My daughter needed urgent help for AP Calculus BC because of how fast-paced and difficult the class was. We reached out to a close friend and were lucky to find out about and get help from George for 1:1 sessions. I feel relieved to see that my daughter is more confident in her class, and she feels prepared for challenging courses in college! 

– E.K., Leigh High School Parent

GeorgeTutor has been an incredible help with my college essay brainstorming and editing! Although I already have a college counselor who helps me edit my application essays, I found that George accelerated that process. He is an expert writer and it is very helpful to discuss my writing with him at such a high level!! 

– S.D., Los Gatos High School Student 

Initially we engaged GeorgeTutor when my son was starting to struggle with calculus. My son got along extremely well with George, and we were thrilled with his score in calculus AP. When my son advanced to Cal Poly, we retained GeorgeTutor to assist the transition to college with weekly meetings. We were delighted with the outcome of this too – George got my son through a tough course in college chemistry.

– P.H., Mitty High School Parent, San Jose

George’s ability to teach complex concepts in a clear and detailed manner makes all the difference. His understanding of the concepts he teaches is so extensive, it allows him to explain problems in a simple and concrete way. My two boys have had a great deal of success working with George over multiple years. Can’t recommend him enough! 

– D.S., Bellarmine College Prep Parent, San Jose.

My son started private tutoring with George five months prior to his SAT exam during his junior year of high school. Not only were we very satisfied with my son’s 290 point score increase from the strategic tutoring, but even more importantly George inspired my son’s intellectual curiosity. The entire experience was definitely an academic awakening that has led my son to an impassioned college search.

– J.B., Pioneer High School Parent, San Jose, CA

Elementary physics mystified my daughter, but GeorgeTutor began by restoring her confidence and then encouraged her through the course. She got fantastic results in the course, received an A grade and overcame her phobia of the subject!

– S.R., Los Gatos High School Parent, CA

George helped to turn my struggling student in middle school into a superstar in high school! My son was inspired by his sessions with George to take Geometry in the summer between 9th and 10th grade, where he achieved almost 100% on his exams! He is now planning to major in Architectural Engineering in college. George’s long-term mentoring was highly valuable for our student!

– L.S., Los Gatos High School Parent, CA

My son had been struggling with precalculus. George came highly recommended and he did not disappoint. He put my son at ease and the comfort level between the two was immediate. George had my son understanding concepts that he could never grasp before. It gave him the confidence and the knowledge he needed to excel. We are so thankful that George came into our lives. We highly recommend him!

– R.B., Bellarmine College Preparatory Parent, San Jose

GeorgeTutor was a lifesaver when I needed help with AP Chemistry in my junior year of high school. During the summer, I began to prep for the SATs, and with George’s mentoring, my score was greatly increased! Throughout my senior year of high school, George worked with me to better understand AP Calculus and Physics, and I achieved high scores on those exams. I highly recommend George!

– V.L., Student, San Luis Obispo, CA

GeorgeTutor guided me through the standardized testing process and taught me new ways of thinking about content, expanding my test-taking and critical thinking skillset. This led my SAT results to greatly improve, even in areas where I felt as though I had reached my maximum score. He also helped me understand math topics that I struggled with by providing in-depth explanations and the “why” behind what I was learning. I benefited so much from GeorgeTutor that I told all my friends about it, and three of them signed up for long-term subscriptions!

– T.K., Valley Christian High School Student, San Jose, CA

I have been with George going back almost a decade. George taught both my kids, including devoting enormous amounts of time to help my son stay on top of his assignments/tests. My son was diagnosed as struggling with time management and organizing/planning skills. With George’s help and by working extremely hard, my son scored 1570 on the SAT! George’s efforts to understand my student and see his brilliance led to his success. George continues to work with my daughter.

– G.A., Parent, Leland High School, San Jose, CA

We heard about GeorgeTutor through our local network and approached George with an unusual request, which was to work with our gifted son on general education aspects but to do so in a virtual environment. We were delighted to see that George already had this expertise and to discover he could rapidly set up an educational environment that our 6-year-old immediately loved and thrived in. We are already into our third year with GeorgeTutor, and George has given our son extraordinary help through conversation, sharing of goals and ideas, and constructive play, all within Minecraft Education. We love George’s innovative and highly effective methods of teaching, and we are sure he will continue to play a major role in our son’s learning for many more years to come.

– K.M., Homeschooling Parent, Menlo Park, CA

We engaged GeorgeTutor rather late in my son’s high school career but were very happy when George managed to fit him in for twice-weekly sessions during his senior year. Our son is very intelligent and capable, but his performance in calculus and physics was flagging owing to overload and some misdirected effort. George rapidly found a path forward, and over the following months, he took our son back to the A-grades that he deserved. We liked the way that George bridged the gap between high school and university, and we will, without hesitation, call on George again if our son needs expert assistance in his future university courses.

– H.T., Los Gatos High School Parent, CA 

We are so thankful for George and how he helped both of our daughters throughout their high school years and even during the pandemic.  He tutored our oldest daughter in AP Physics and AP Calculus BC, provided SAT tutoring and also reviewed her college essays.  With George’s help and her diligence, she received a 1560 on her SAT and a large scholarship to a private university in Texas.  George also tutored our youngest daughter in Chemistry and helped her through a very difficult academic year.  He’s extremely patient, a fantastic listener, and really works to meet each student where they are both personally as a student, but also a kid.  George is definitely our family’s first choice for academic tutoring!

– J.C., Leland High School Parent, San Jose, CA

Hey George! I know it’s been a while since we last talked, but I just wanted to let you know that I received my acceptance into the university of Texas at Austin tonight and I am beyond thrilled. I just wanted to thank you for all of your commitment and hard work on my essays and SAT scores that help me get into this wonderful school.

– M.C., Valley Christian High School Senior, San Jose, CA

My older son took an SAT prep course at a SAT prep center, had a terrible instructor and did not improve his scores. A friend of his was working with George and highly recommended him. He took private lessons with George and improved his test scores greatly. He also worked with George on his AP classes and continued on virtually into Freshman year at university with one of his math courses. Since then, George has worked with my second son and with my daughter, adapting to their very different learning styles. Over the past 7 years, I have recommended more than a dozen high schoolers to GeorgeTutor with great success!

-N.S., Parent, Leigh & Notre Dame High Schools, San Jose, CA & Purdue U., IN.

It is with great pleasure that we recommend George as an exceptional math tutor who has significantly impacted our child’s academic journey as an international student. George’s dedication and expertise have been instrumental in fostering our child’s understanding and confidence in mathematics.

As parents of an international student navigating a new educational system, we witnessed firsthand George’s ability to simplify complex mathematical concepts into digestible parts. His teaching approach not only facilitated our child’s comprehension but also sparked a newfound enthusiasm for the subject.

George’s profound understanding of mathematical principles, coupled with his patience and adaptability, proved invaluable in accommodating our child’s unique learning needs. His commitment to tailoring teaching methods to suit different learning styles has been evident in our child’s remarkable progress.

Furthermore, George’s inclusive and culturally sensitive approach created a nurturing environment where our child felt comfortable exploring mathematical challenges. His encouragement and support extended beyond academic guidance, instilling a sense of confidence and self-assurance in our child’s abilities.

We wholeheartedly endorse George to any parents seeking a math tutor. George’s expertise, empathy, and dedication make him an invaluable asset in supporting students’ academic growth and success.
