Kevin has just started working with son (only 3 sessions) and so far he is enjoying it. Kevin came highly recommended from a bunch of friends who used him to help their children prepare for the TACHS. I’m confident that with Kevin’s help my son will have as much success on the exam as the others that Kevin has worked with had. We are looking forward to continuing working with him.
Kevin has a way of understanding a childs learning skills, knowing that each student learns differently and catering his tutoring sessions specifically to each childs needs - tapping into what unlocks their specific abilities! I have seen my daughters tears and sons frustrations turn to excitement and pride through tutoring sessions with Kevin. He makes math fun, and steps outside of traditional instructional techniques, keeping young students engaged and interested! I highly recommend Kevin Miller for any math tutoring you are considering!
I dont think I can recommend Kevin more highly or enthusiastically. Kevin has tutored both of my children since mid-way through the pandemic, and this has been lifesaving. Kevin truly cares for his students and this shows in the way he prepares and conducts each session. I have been so impressed with his can-do and CALM approach to working with my kids. He has a way of instilling confidence in my kids while at the same time making it fun! (neither of which I was able to accomplish in my failed attempts to help with math during the pandemic).Lastly, Kevin provided us peace of mind in a time when there was little to none since March. We thank you for this, and will always recommend you vigorously!
Kevin Miller is an experienced, dedicated, and truly gifted teacher and tutor. He not only knows how to engage individual kids but also understands how to enable them to achieve their individual potential as students and human beings. Hes the best!
I can’t speak highly enough about Kevin. He tutored my son since July for the TACHS exam. My son really enjoyed going to Kevin’s. He was always looking forward to his next session! On the last day of tutoring, on the way out the door, my son held my shoulder and said, “Mom, thank you SO much for signing me up to work with Kevin. I feel so much better about taking this exam. I am going to miss going there, I am sad it’s over! He made learning so much fun!”.Needless to say, Kevin is ABSOLUTELY worth the investment!!!
Kevin helped my daughter prepare for the TACHS exam. First, Kevin gave her a mockexam to test her knowledge and skill. From there, he was able to determine what areas they needed to focus on to get the maximum results. Along with the lessons and more practice tests, Kevin provided test taking strategies to help my daughter remain calm and focused throughout the exam. Her score improved a minimum of 10 percentage points in each of the categories. My daughter received merit scholarships to every school to which she applied. Needless to say, working with Kevin is worth the investment!
Kevins talent as a tutor is immense. He connects with our son and really sees the whole child. He thinks out of the box and works with parents to supports understanding and motivation when that is the issue. We highly recommend him as a tutor!
Kevin is a gifted teacher with a deep understanding and enjoyment of math, and also kids! He understands adolescent cognitive development and how best to teach and engage students. He is smart, thoughtful, experienced, positive, and fun. Most importantly, my kids really like him. As a parent, I appreciate how he gets the individual strengths and challenges of my kids and how well he communicates with me about them. He is one of the most insightful educators I have ever met.
Kevin works with my 13 year old and 11 year old. He is very dedicated to their improvement. Additionally, he is open to feedback from me as a parent and educator myself. Kevin use of manipulatives and other educational resources allow him to increase his effectiveness with his students understanding the curriculum.
We’ve been very pleased with Kevin and his approach to math tutoring. He works regularly with our daughter, not only for test preparation, but to help her learn better study skills and techniques to tackle difficult problems and topics. He is patient and enthusiastic, and he clearly enjoys working with kids. He’s trying to instill not just math skills, but also confidence and enthusiasm for challenging topics. He holds her accountable for being a partner in the process, but cheers her on as she takes her tests too!
Kevin immediately made a connection with my son, where he was able toexperience math in a fun and interactive mode, and leaves everysession feeling positive and happy. He tailors lesson plans based onhow my son (who has ADHD and learning disabilities) responds, utilizing active movement and game-playing concepts. Kevin takes the time to connect with teachers, and shares relevant research, websites and articles with us. His extensive time in the classroom and NY Board ofEducation makes him a caring and knowledgeable resource. We arefortunate to have Kevin as an integral and connected part of the teamguiding my sons math education!
Kevin has been a great support for our son with homework help and an out of the box approach to teaching that has been a great fit. He connects with his students on their level.
Kevin has been tutoring my son for a few months now and is successfully helping him understand and enjoy his 4th grade math. Kevin has also been helpful by providing insight as to how to support my son at home with math and his learning in general. I had the pleasure to observe a tutoring session and appreciate an engaging approach to teaching by being hands on, patient and playful. We are grateful for Kevin’s support and, my son looks forward to work with Kevin every time.
Kevin worked with my reluctant daughter to prepare her for the SSAT. He was wonderful with both my daughter and me. He is smart, kind, flexible and insightful. In addition to teaching the subject matter, he provided excellent guidance in test-taking skills and gave my daughter the confidence she needed to enable her to push through the studying and test-taking while managing her school work. He was available between sessions to brainstorm and provided excellent support to me as a worried mom! Kevin is a talented teacher, and I recommend him highly and without reservation. Now that the test-taking is over, we miss him.
I highly recommend Kevin, who tutored my 8th grader for math and science this year. Kevin developed a wonderful rapport with my son, was patient and encouraging, and helped him better understand some very dense material. Equally as important, my son had fun during his sessions! We look forward to working with him again in 9th grade.
We are on year three of retaining Kevin as a math tutor for our daughter. For those interested in the bottom line: grades waaaaay up! But more important: we are so grateful to Kevin for identifying exactly what she needed in order to boost her confidence, her comprehension, and her grades in math. Kevin immediately identified her as a smart, capable kid who had been rushed through the basics (also, she is part of the guinea pig generation of the Common Core rollout and this was also a disadvantage to be overcome) and was already being asked to tackle abstract ideas. We couldnt understand why she could do algebra, but was still stumbling over place value, but Kevin did. He has been able to go back and build up her basic math skills while a) not making her feel babyish and b) keeping her on track with current school math curricula. Hes even been in touch with her math teacher at times to coordinate. Kevin is calm, incredibly patient, and our daughter enjoys the sessions. I wholeheartedly recommend him.
