"My son developed confidence in his work, and his grades on tests have increased."
"Zev understood the way our dyslexic son learned and was able to tailor sessions to his individual needs."
When he began working with Zev on Algebra II late in 10th grade, he was struggling and consider dropping a math class and repeating Algebra I, which was a worrying prospect to him because his dream job was to become an engineer. With the support of tutoring sessions, not only did his grades improve and was he able to stay in Algebra II, but he was able to achieve his goal of going to engineering school, and is pursuing his dream of becoming an engineer.
