"Since middle school, Taylor has helped me immensely with my writing, math, and overall learning pathway, all while supporting me throughout every creative & academic endeavor. No matter the subject, Taylor quickly adapts to every student’s needs, whether that means help on a complex math problem, assistance on a college essay, or a review on creative writing like poetry & short stories. He provides spot-on constructive feedback that builds on a learner’s previous knowledge instead of introducing a new topic entirely, making tough subjects (like advanced geometry for me) so much easier to understand. In addition, his dry humor never fails to make students laugh. Taylor’s teaching method fits a wide variety of ages, grades, & learning levels due to his range of capabilities. Most importantly, he emphasizes communication between tutor & student, making students feel both comfortable & highly engaged while obtaining an excellent learning experience. Thank you, Taylor!
