Strategy tips alone were worth the price of the class. Concrete, practical and well explained.
Taylor keeps the goal in sight every session — we always knew what we were working towards and how far along we were. By the end I felt completely ready for test day.
Thank you, Owen! "Always know the goal" is exactly the idea. Best of luck on test day.
Brilliant at making abstract ideas concrete. I now actually look forward to calculus.
My third class with Taylor and the best one yet — the calculus ideas finally clicked with the algebra I learned back in January.

The bootcamp moves fast and I needed longer on the word problems — but Taylor's worked examples made the hard questions manageable.
Thanks Jack — fair point on the word problems. I'm adding a slower pass through them to the next bootcamp. See you in Calculus!
Fun, engaging and challenging. The time flew by.

Flexible with scheduling and great at tailoring each session to my course.
Super helpful — thanks for the tips on pacing!
I used to freeze on word problems. Taylor taught me a method to break them down and now I actually enjoy them. The practice sets were the right level — hard enough to stretch me, never discouraging.
That means a lot, Emma — word problems are mostly about method, and you picked it up quickly. Enjoy them!
Helpful and encouraging. The worked examples were excellent.
My SAT math score went up 90 points in six weeks. Worth every minute.
Great at spotting exactly where I was getting stuck and fixing it quickly.
Thanks Ava! Finding the exact sticking point is my favourite part. Good luck with the rest of the term.
Patient and incredibly well prepared. Every session had a clear plan and a recap at the end.
Clear, structured, and kind. Highly recommend!
Very approachable — I never felt silly asking the same question twice.
Finally understood derivatives — Taylor explained the why, not just the steps, and it clicked.
Thank you, Maya! Derivatives really do click once the "why" lands — keep practising the chain rule and you'll be flying.
Adapted the lesson on the fly when I told him I was struggling with trig. Really appreciated that.
My daughter went from dreading maths to asking for extra problems. Thank you!
What a lovely note, Ivy — please pass my thanks to your daughter. Her curiosity made it easy.
The pacing was perfect and the homework was genuinely useful. Exactly what I needed before my exam.
Clear explanations, though a few topics went by quickly. Overall very good and I learned a lot.
Thanks Nora. I hear you on pacing — I've added a short recap of the quick topics at the end of each session now.
Short and sweet: excellent.
Good content and a solid tutor, but I wish the class had been a little longer so we could cover more practice questions.
Thank you for the honest feedback, Ethan. You are right — I've since extended the practice block so there's more time for questions. Hope to see you again!
Organised, punctual and always on top of what we covered last time.
