Working with Stan at Aletech truly saved me. Before I got help I was struggling with the concepts and formulas in my Algebra 2/Trig class. Stan personally tutored me and led me to success. I started the year with a D- and ended with a 104% A+.
Nick is a great tutor. I learned how to easily solve linear equations and graph them. Nick thoroughly explained the concepts I needed to learn and made the whole process easy. Overall, my math skills improved over the duration of my math tutoring.
As a middle school math teacher, I often get asked if I know of any good tutors. My answer is always that Stan's the Man!
He has a consistently caring attitude, strong teaching skills, and a thorough understanding of math.
My students who have gone to Stan have raised their test scores and improved at doing their homework. I particularly like that he emails me to see when tests are and what his students should be studying.
He works closely not only with the students, but with their parents, too. He's the BEST!
I started meeting with Stan once or twice a week halfway through my sophomore year. I had a B- in Algebra 2 Honors. Stan helped me study for my last few chapter tests of the year and ace my final. I ended the semester with a B+ in the class thanks to Stan. Stan was kind enough to keep tutoring me through my junior year and he made Pre Calc Honors a breeze. He was so flexible with his schedule and when I was really struggling, he brought in a personal tutor for me so I could get some one-on-one help. Stan is brilliant with anything relating to Algebra and he was a huge help with Trigonometry. His practice tests really helped me study for chapter tests. Plus going over my tests with Stan helped me to understand my mistakes. He once set aside two and a half hours on his weekend to give me a seriously needed tutoring session on conic sections. Stan is awesome and so approachable as a tutor and he is a wonderful person and so friendly. He is a joy to work with.
I started going to Stan as a freshman when I was really struggling in Algebra 1. I had a D in the first semester and did not understand the way my teacher taught. I heard about Stan from a friend who was in my class and said he really helped her a lot. I started going to Stan and immediately my D turned into an A-, and for once I really understood the math! In Geometry, Stan got me through the chapters and pushed me until I really knew what I was doing. In Algebra 2 I flew through the year and was so confident that I could do math and really know what I was doing. Stan is not only smart, he is extremely patient and teaches in a way that makes sense and makes math so much easier.
As a middle school math teacher I have referred many students to Stan over the years. I am always impressed with his outstanding communication with me regarding the students' progress through the school year. The majority of students who see him increase their class grade more than a full grade, I highly recommend him!
Stan has been our family Math tutor for the last 5 years. Our son Tommy attended 2007-2010 and our son Michael the last two years, 2009-2011. I highly recommend Stan for he is always professional, effective, motivating, positive and encouraging. Our two boys actually enjoy going to Stan for Math tutoring. I have and continue to recommend him to all my friends.
Nick taught me to solve equations, inequalities, add/subtract positive and negative numbers. Using the whiteboard helped me understand the concepts better and made the learning more interactive. The tutoring center is very comfortable and the environment is productive.
My 16-year-old son has always struggled with Algebra. He'd become frustrated very easily and would often mentally shut down in spite of the efforts of teachers, parents and tutors. Stan set my son's work pace at a level that he could handle and kept him motivated with gentle but persistent encouragement. Stan reviewed basic concepts he hadn't mastered yet, while simultaneously keeping him on-track with his grade-level work once the school year started. At the end of the school year, my son was able to pass Algebra 2. From a parent's standpoint, Stan was always very responsive to my questions. We'd speak very frankly when my son would get off-track with his efforts, and worked together to get him back on-track. Stan was very flexible scheduling tutoring sessions, knowing that the kids were busy with extra-curricular activities, and their energy levels would reflect their busy schedules.
Aletech Math Tutoring has had a tremendous impact for our daughter in learning the principals of Algebra 1 and preparation for Geometry.
Our daughter had great difficulty understanding Algebra 1. Her constant struggles led us to go to Aletech for their services. Because of this, our daughter ended up with a B on her overall Algebra score for the school year instead of leaning towards a D in which she started out with before going to Aletech.
Stan not only corresponds with the parents, but directly with the student to see what is taking place in school, what areas he sees she needs focus on to ensure she understands all that is needed.
Stan is the one who has helped her succeed in Algebra 1 and is making her feel confident that the same will occur with Geometry. He is preparing her for this course over the summer.
Based on this, we highly recommend Aletech Math Tutoring services!
We were very relieved to find Stan. He's great at the basics, assessing each student and defining a program for their success, lecturing so it makes sense, keeping kids accountable, and using practice tests that correspond to the actual exams. But just as importantly, he conveys an effective method of learning math that can be applied to topics beyond what he's currently teaching.
Whether your student has always had trouble with math, or is a normally strong math student whose learning style doesn't match the teacher's teaching style, you won't regret working with Stan. We are happy to recommend him without reservation.
After many years of struggling with Algebra and going to mediocre math tutors I was introduced to Stan and his talented staff. He initially saved my daughter from failing 10th grade Algebra and then got her through Geometry as well. His patient demeanor and his total dedication to each student as an individual makes for a winning combination for your child. I have never seen so much individual attention from any other tutor. If he sees issues, he addresses them immediately and keeps the parents involved through email. Stan takes each child's success very seriously and will stay on top of any issue that affects performance or attitude. We have gone on to have our second child tutored by one of his assistants and have been very happy with the service provided as well. I would highly recommend Stan and his staff to any parent who is considering a math tutor. He is simply the best!
I went to Stan for my Junior year and I was really impressed at everything Stan had to offer. He's obviously very intelligent and is also good with teens. He knows how to motivate us and does whatever it take to fulfill our needs. Also the environment we work in is great. Its a comfortable room with really nice comfy chairs and all the proper utensils. It's always quiet which makes it easy to learn. When it comes to math he is serious, but is also very easy to talk to and he takes a personal interest in our lives. He helped me a lot, and I appreciate what he has done for me.
I was very happy with the tutoring services that Stan provided. He gave very structured notes and my daughter was excited for each lesson. He helped raise my daughter's grade one full letter in Algebra.
Taking tutoring lessons from Aletech Math Tutoring has made a positive impact on my grade. The tutors are extremely helpful and I have rarely gone in and not understood something. They explain what the lesson is, give you math problems and will not be satisfied until you have mastered it all. An increase in your grade is guaranteed.
Stan is a great tutor, takes a real personal interest in your child's success. He is patient and gives a lot of encouragement to his students, and really gets to know them. Stan's approach worked much better than other tutors we had tried.
Nick has a very relaxed and calm approach to tutoring and makes the tutoring experience as pleasant as possible. His approach is great for students who have little confidence with Math. I will continue to use Nick this year with my son's classes.
