My husband and I hesitated to hire a tutor for our 11th grader in IB Math because we felt that (1)…read moreit is the school's responsibility to teach, and (2) we wanted our son to feel that he didn't need a tutor. Also, we knew that tutoring can be expensive, and we weren't sure how effective it would be. However, it soon became clear that our son wasn't getting thorough instruction at school -- the explanations weren't clear enough, and the homework problems weren't proving to be good practice for the tests. Our neighbor highly recommended Dan Chinburg at Lionheart Tutoring (he had tutored two of her children in math and SAT practice) so we contacted him, and we're so glad that we did. After the first session with Dan our son showed immediate improvement. Everything became so much clearer for him. Additional sessions have been a great support and confidence-builder for him. Initially our son didn't want a tutor, but he likes Dan's low-key style and looks forward to the sessions.

My daughter has used tutors her entire life due to learning disabilities and I can say that Mr. Chinburg is professional, proficient, reliable, calm, compassionate and really cares about how his students do. He not only is fantastic at tutoring, but he has the common sense as to how to approach teachers, professors, faculty to best benefit your child and improve their grades and scores. My daughter is a student at the University of Pennsylvania and she has been on the Dean's list, will graduate with highest honors and much of this is due to Mr. Chinburg. He is also very flexible and tries to make himself readily available which is why he is careful as to how many students he takes on and will not take your child if he does not feel he will benefit the student. If your child is lucky enough to have Dan he will surely benefit and you as a parent need not worry. Dan also helped my daughter with many applications and if you need his services for applications when applying to college or graduate school he is great. I think Dan is really a find and well worth anything you pay.

Mathnasium is great. Greg and his instructors make math fun for the kids to the point where they…read moredon't want to leave when it comes time to pick them up. Atmosphere is bright, clean and relaxing with mellow tunes in the background that act more like white noise to help concentration.

Highly recommended for any child who needs more practice with math to build up their confidence and speed in problem solving, and especially those that are too timid to ask questions in class.
