“We’ve been incredibly fortunate to have Dylan working with all three of our children in their math studies.
His ability to connect with each of them, regardless of their individual needs and learning styles, has been nothing short of amazing.
Our junior son, who has ADHD, struggled significantly with math, often falling behind and losing confidence in the subject. With Dylan's patience, encouragement, and structured approach, he’s gone from failing grades to earning A's and B's. He’s now confidently on the calculus track, something we never thought possible.
Our sophomore daughter was able to accelerate her learning and even jump ahead in her math curriculum after working with Dylan over the summer. He has a gift for making complex concepts understandable and for pushing her to excel.
Even our 7th-grade son has benefited from occasional homework help, and Dylan always finds time to assist him, no matter how busy his schedule.
His dedication and passion for teaching math have made a real difference in our children’s academic progress, and we highly recommend Dylan to any family looking for a tutor who genuinely cares about their students’ success.”
