Andrew: Melrose Park tutor

Certified Tutor

I am passionate about helping students succeed because I believe that education has the power to transform lives. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a student gain confidence and achieve goals they once thought were out of reach. Over the past 25 years, I've had the privilege of working with students of all agestutoring in their homes, leading classes, and even developing programs designed to help them excel. Watching students progress from uncertainty to mastery is an incredible journey, and I love being a part of that process.

I graduated from the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Science in Statistics and an interdisciplinary certificate in Actuarial Science. In 2004, I created one of the first SAT/ACT Boot Camps in Coral Springs, Florida, and I am the author of Maximize ACT Math, a comprehensive 576-page textbook and workbook that includes 51 chapters, over 900 practice questions with detailed solutions, a formula cheat sheet, and a student topic checklist. This resource, built on years of experience, has helped countless students improve their scores.

I specialize in tutoring ACT Math, SAT Math, and a wide range of math courses including algebra, geometry, and statistics. I also work with business and MBA students. My favorite subjects to teach are ACT and SAT Math because these exams are based on consistent principles and strategies that, once mastered, open the door to higher scores and greater confidence.

My teaching philosophy emphasizes breaking concepts down into small, manageable steps to prevent overwhelm, followed by repetition to facilitate retention and application to real-world problems. I encourage students to think through the entire process so they can confidently solve problems on their own. Positive reinforcement is central to my approach, and I strive to create an environment where students feel motivated and capable.

Outside of tutoring, I enjoy sports, particularly football, baseball, and basketball. I'm a lifelong Florida Gators fan and once tried out for the University of Florida baseball teama passion for athletics that continues to influence my dedication and competitive spirit in helping students succeed.
