Review by Rachel
"In my capacity as Education Director at Mighty Writers, I've been working with Andy for three years. He's a thoughtful professional who worked with us to
revamp our SAT curriculum in order to shine a light on test anxiety and the way that it affects Philly students taking a test like the SAT.
Andy is responsible, relatable and methodical. His strengths include curriculum writing and design, meeting students' individual needs and troubleshooting weak areas. The class he's been teaching with us for several years has gotten better with each session, and the student improvement (average +200 points) speaks for itself.

"Since he is an experienced teacher, I invited Andy to speak to my graduate students in the teacher certification program at Temple University. He was ver
y well received. Andy spoke to the pre-service teachers about classroom management, adolescent development, and test anxiety. His presentation was well organized and engaging, and the students learned much from his words of wisdom and concrete examples from urban teaching."

Review by Lisa
"Andy has been working with our middle-school-aged son this summer, to help him prepare for a challenging Algebra I class next school year. We didn't want
to overwhelm our son with endless lessons, so we prioritized finding a tutor who would tailor both his teaching style and the material for optimal understanding. Andy did exactly that. He rapidly got to know our son's learning style, motivations, and concerns-- and structured his lessons to complement them. Andy's deep understanding of math pedagogy enabled him to devise a novel teaching plan that has previewed key algebra concepts with our son, laying a firm conceptual foundation and boosting our son's confidence as the school year approaches.
As parents we are also grateful for Andy's accessibility via telephone and email to discuss our son's progress. He has thoughtfully incorporated our input and input from our son's future schoolteacher.
We are also delighted that our son enjoys his tutoring sessions with Andy, and looks forward to his visits! We highly recommend Andy and are glad that we found him."

Review by Annette
"I am the Program Director at Mighty Writers, a Philadelphia nonprofit that teaches kids how to write and think clearly. I have observed Andrew teach a two
-hour SAT Prep four times a weeks to students at Mighty Writers in West Philadelphia .
Andy is informed, prepared and affable with his students. His obvious command of the subjects he teaches helps put students at ease, and he is always available to talk to the kids afterwards.
As time goes on, I can see that the students are even more trusting of Andy, which means they will perform for him. The only reason I didn't give him a five-star rating is because I'm waiting for students to take the final test. If Andy's previous students are any indication, his students' scores should increase between 100-200 points. I'm confident that they will."

Review by Ben
"Andy is the Man! I needed a quick refresher course to cover everything up to Pre-Calculus in a short amount of time. If it wasn't for Andy's versatile mat
h skills and organizational skills there is no way I could have learned so much in such a limited amount of time. His patience allowed me to feel as if I wasn't under a huge amount of pressure and helped me feel a deeper sense of understanding in math.
I would definitely use Andy's services in the future if they are ever needed again!"

About Andrew
Teaching and tutoring has been my calling from early in life. It started with tutoring my friends, up to when I was hired through my high school Calculus class to tutor 10th grade Geometry students.
Since then, I've taught GRE, ACT and SAT prep and I've been a classroom mathematics teacher (from 7th grade to 12th grade) for almost a decade.
I have two specialties that make me fairly unique in the domain of Mathematics and Test Prep teaching and tutoring: First, I help students to understand the topic on a much deeper and more interesting level, by connecting it to related topics and skills, providing historical background, and elaborating on how it's been used and how it's currently used. This makes the material much more interesting, and, hence, much more likely to be recalled it in the future, than when it is taught the standard w

This makes the material much more interesting, and, hence, much more likely to be recalled it in the future, than when it is taught the standard w
ay.
Secondly, I am well aware of the role test-anxiety and self-doubt plays in the lack of success of some students, so I put a lot of emphasis on the emotional and psychological component of learning and test-taking. With a bachelor's degree in Psychology, I have tools to apply that help students to overcome the debilitating affects of test anxiety, self-doubt, and fear of failure.
Beyond this, I am very personable and can connect with most any student that I teach. I love to help students to learn, and that is readily evident to my students. Some students are intimidated by teachers or tutors who don't know how to connect with the students on a personal level, or how to break things down in a way that makes sense to the student, but that's where I truly excel. Instead of simply repeating myself and wondering why a students doesn't understand a challenging concept, I work to grasp where the breakdown occurs, and then build up from what they do already understand. Through this, I have had unparalleled success throughout my teaching experience, whether it is Math specifically, or Test Prep more generally.
Working with me will not only provide you nearly immediate success, but the effects will carry over well into the future. My teaching is a lifetime investment.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you to overcome your challenges to reach your greatest potential.

class the summer before her senior year. Mr. Andrew
gave her the skills she needed to improve her test score by more than 200 points. But more importantly than her test score she was confident and comfortable before taking the test. Mr. Andrew provided her with really good insight into what the test preparers were looking for and help to fine tune skills that she has worked during her early high school years. We are proud to say our daughter was accepted at all four of the schools she applied to. She was accepted early decision to Drexel University and will be a freshman there in merely 34 days!!!
Thank you Mr. Andrew we couldn't have done it without you.

About Noah
I am extremely passionate about both music and education, and it gives me great joy to be able to share excitement for and knowledge of music with my students. I have been studying violin since I was 4 years old and it has always been a central part of my life. I have a strong background in both music and education. I am conservatory trained having received a BFA in Violin Performance from Carnegie Mellon University with an additional major in Physics. I am comfortable teaching all levels from total beginners to advanced students playing Paganinni and major concertos. I have been teaching violin for 4 years, and I also have experience teaching Physics in public schools and a Masters in Education from TCNJ. I offer studio recitals twice a year for all my students, which are valuable opportunities for my students to experience performan
ce and share their music with each other. I enjoy music of all styles and in addition to classical music I play rock and jazz. I collaborate frequently with Trenton based rock artist Roy Orbitron.
For beginning students I start with Suzuki books until about book 5 and then begin to branch out into other repertoire. I also incorporate etudes by Dancla, Wohlfahrt, and Sevcik. I teach students to read music as well as basic theory and ear training. I also incorporate playing by ear and improvisation. These are important skills which help students develop into flexible and well rounded musicians.
I am happy to teach any piece in any style that the student wants to learn. Students do much better work and can learn much more when they are excited about the music they are playing. In addition, I can also help students prepare for auditions, competitions, or or to prepare orchestra music.

He also motivates his students by recognizing and praising their hard work and accomplishments no matter how big or small. I have seen my kids' skills improve drastically under his tutelage.
When Noah teaches, it is very obvious that he loves the violin and that he is eager to impart his love and knowledge of the violin to his students. He's an extremely gifted violinist and teacher.

Hi there. I'm an Honors student going into my 3rd year of college. I always get positive feedback on papers and essays I write--a lot of professors seem surprised to receive quality work from a college student. I graduated in the top 10% of my high school class. I have a really good understanding of what makes a good student writer, and I can help you get significantly better at it in a short time if you want to--no matter what your current skill level or goals are. I'm happy to work with you and challenge you to get to where you want to be. Writing is a skill. I can help you make some headway.
