Pre-Algebra Tutors Who See Calculus in Every Fraction

We signed up for a trial with Sam for our daughter. He was awesome and we have now signed her up for the entire summer schedule. Sam has a really nice and easy communication style and once he found out that my daughter loves soccer he added a lot of soccer themes to his teaching (angles, corners, distance etc.). My daughter really liked his style and she was more than happy to continue with Sam as her tutor. My daughter is entering middle school and she needs a confidence boost in Math and Sam provided a great platform for that.

Set your kids up for success...the best advice one of my friends gave me was to start my son with Alexander Tutoring before he started his freshman year at an independent high school. My son was a progressive middle school and I was not really sure how he would fare with Physics and Algebra. Alexander tutoring was amazing in that Sean assured me that my timing was just right at the beginning of the school year and we engaged with Felix (my son's tutor) right away. My son and Felix meet on a weekly basis and even though..or more accurately because my son is getting As in both Physics and Math, we are keeping the tutoring going!

Can't say enough about them! Jonathan has been tutoring my daughter in 7th grade math and she's not only doing so much better in her work-finding that it makes sense in a way she struggled with before-but her confidence level in class has jumped leaps and bounds. She's actually enjoying math! He's very patient and has a way of explaining the "hows and whys" of the problems she's working on in a way that makes sense to her. I really like the fact, as well, that I can contact him any time to suggest material he can cover, or ask questions. Scheduling is accommodating and a breeze and communications-both with office staff and Jonathan are easy and effective. Thank you!!

My son struggled with organization and a few concepts before entering 7th grade. After a hiccup with another tutor, Sean really connected with him and helped get him back on track. So far, his grades are great and my son regained his love for the science and confidence when doing math.

We engaged the services of Alexander Tutoring for both of our sons with great success. Our 9th grader participated in the summer intensive last summer to review math concepts to feel confident with high school Algebra. His experience was very positive, he was ready to attend every session, appreciated his tutor Charlie, and felt like he was much more solid on an array of concepts. It really boosted his confidence going into high school, which was very valuable. Our younger son received tutoring during this last fall semester for review of concepts he needed more grounding in as a 7th grader. He also had success and gained confidence with each session, enough so he felt he could move forward on his own after winter break. Sean was great to work with when we had scheduling conflicts or illness, and locations for tutoring were convenient. We highly recommend Alexander Tutoring for learning and building confidence.

My son has had two excellent math tutors (6th grade math) from Alexander Tutoring. His favorite tutor by far is Wilder -- he has an approach that makes my son feel comfortable and makes the subject matter not intimidating and approachable. Many tutors from other agencies have been condescending or unable to connect with our son who struggles in math -- Sean hires tutors that are the exact opposite -- our son is more confident following his tutoring sessions because of that. In addition, Sean runs the company very well, the sessions are organized, calendared with no cancellations for us so far. Any potential changes are communicated way in advance. thank you Sean for running a great organization! well worth the investment!

After SF public schools ended their honors math programs I was looking for a way for my 8th grader to qualify for high school honors Math. I am happy to report that Tyler at Alexander Math and Physics tutoring helped my son to test into Algebra 2 honors! His math grade in school went up to an A. Then when we told him he could stop tutoring with Tyler he didn't want to stop tutoring because he enjoyed what he was learning. Wow! My older son is now preparing for the Physics and Math subject tests and Alexander Tutoring is where we are going. I am so thankful to have advanced Math and Physics help for my kids.

My child had a wonderful experience with SA tutoring this summer. Chase was reluctant and not at all enthusiastic about doing work over the summer. His tutor Olivia not only made it fun and interesting but also helped him with his summer homework. This has made Chase feel more comfortable about entering the 7th grade, feeling caught up on his work but also having a better grasp on what is to be expected in this next year. In addition I appreciated their willingness to work with our schedule, and their options on different meeting locations in the city.I highly recommend Sean Alexander to anyone looking for good, solid tutoring help.

My kids have historically not struggled with math but this year both (7th and 12th grade) hit a wall due to issues with teachers (teaching the subject for the first time) and concepts not being explained very clearly in class. I wasn’t sure where to turn to for help outside of school and was so relieved to find Alexander Tutoring! Not only was the team great to work with to match with a tutor and schedule a regular meeting day, and explaining everything very clearly along the way, but the tutors themselves have been fantastic. If you have teenagers then you’ll know how hard it is to get them to actually like working with an adult in school subjects, as in stay engaged and respect them. Both of my kids give a solid thumbs up and have gained a great sense of confidence for each of their math classes. And my son (12th grader) really appreciates the office hours and benefits greatly from working with Alexander tutors. We are considering adding on Physics tutoring as well to really deliver an edge in class for my son, and my daughter (7th grader) is now focused on getting ahead with Algebra 1! Thank you Alexander Tutoring!

We've been with the math tutor on and off for 3 years (5th grade - 7th grade), The tutor is kind and engaging in their style, and the tutoring is high quality. My kiddo enjoys the lessons and it's been useful in building their confidence and helping them understand the material that they've been unsure of in class. Alexander tutoring is easy to deal with and flexible. They're pricier than other tutoring options but overall I feel it's been worth it for our family in terms of what our child has got out of it, so I'd recommend them 🙂

Sean is a wonderful math tutor! Sean tutored both of my boys, in grades 8 and 6. Very different situations, equally great results - I'm highly satisfied with Sean.Last year, my 8th grade son needed help with the math sections in the SSAT/ISEE exams -- the exams required of San Francisco's private and parochial high school applicants. My eldest son was stressed about the math sections, but Sean calmly and enthusiastically diagnosed which areas needed help, and tackled each area of need. Sean provided guidance and very practical tutoring, including drills and reinforcement. Sean was very patient throughout it all. My son made big gains, did great on the actual exams, and got into his top high schools. Thank you Sean!My 6th grader was in a completely different situation. This younger son absolutely loves math, was bored at school, and I approached Sean about providing summer math enrichment tutoring for him. I wasn't sure exactly what this entailed, but I trusted Sean would figure out it. Sean did -- with accolades. My math loving son was thrilled with finally being challenged and completely engaged. They explored all sorts of math concepts, advanced topics, and very practical techniques to reduce errors and develop good math habits. This son had a great summer of math and wants to continue lessons during the school year so he can continue his independent study and love for the subject. By the end of the summer, my 6th grader is doing 11th grade work. Bottom line, Sean is an effective teacher who understands kids, figures out how to help each one individually and engages them through the process. My husband and I highly recommend Sean!

We took an opportunity last year to have our 8th grader participate in a tutoring program outside of school. This group of highly educated folks were a hit for my son and a success for his math grade. They fill up quick but they definitely worked hard to find us an opening or even make an opportunity happen for us. They have a straight forward upfront no gimmick operation. My son's grade did improve and I would recommend my children going back to them.
