“In school, math was never my strong suit. Tioma was the first person who taught math in such a way that helped me understand it better than I ever had before. He went above and beyond to make sure that I was not only prepared to take the SAT math section but had all the resources that I needed to grow academically. More than anything, his enthusiasm and patience were always very encouraging and made me enjoy all of our sessions. Additionally, he introduced me to mindfulness which has been a life changer that I will hold on to forever. I give infinite thanks to Tioma for transforming an area that I once so heavily struggled with, into a rewarding learning experience that allowed me to improve immensely. My siblings and I were all so lucky to have worked with him and share the same appreciation for his selfless help.”

“I’m very lucky to have known Tioma for nearly two decades, doubly so because I have been both his colleague and his student. As a fellow tutor, I can attest to Tioma’s flexibility and skill in working with students of different ages and abilities, to his individually-tailored approach, and to his instincts as an educator. As Tioma’s former student, I can also speak to his patience, his warmth, and his persistence in finding a way to connect with his clients on their level. For those of us who do not naturally excel in math, struggling with the subject is often frustrating and demoralizing, and having the right kind of support makes an enormous difference. Being a great tutor isn’t just about knowing the subject; it’s about knowing the student, and that’s where Tioma is truly special. I can attest to this as a colleague who sees great outcomes from referrals, but also, and perhaps more importantly, as a person who benefitted from Tioma’s tutoring firsthand.”

“Tioma has been a superb Math tutor and mindfulness coach for our rising 11th grader. His teaching/communication style is highly effective and his depth of knowledge is truly impressive. We anticipate that his support for Physics will be very valuable this coming year as well.”

“Artem Maloratsky tutored three of our children over the course of seven years during their junior and senior years in high school. He helped them prepare for the mathematics portion of the SAT as well as the SAT II subject tests in mathematics and physics. Artem’s excellent guidance made a significant difference in the depth of our children’s understanding of the material, their test scores, and their ability to get into the colleges of their choice. All three children have different learning styles, strengths, and weaknesses. Where one of them needed enrichment, another needed a confidence boost and strengthening of the fundamentals. Artem was sensitive to each of our children’s needs and adjusted his instruction accordingly. We were extremely happy with his work and recommend him wholeheartedly as a superb tutor.”

“Tioma was brilliant in his tutoring approach and technique with our son, Silas, in high school geometry. With Tioma’s guidance and support, Silas went from a F to an A in a matter of weeks. Tioma’s mastery of not just the subject matter but the uniqueness and ability of the student is beyond reproach, as Silas’s ADHD Inattentive learning disability often gets in the way of his success. Tioma brought to the table patience, persistence, and consistency, always taking the time to ensure Silas was not just understanding the “what” of the problem, but also the “why”, allowing for practical application. And, all of this was accomplished in the early days of COVID-19 as we were all transitioning to Zoom! Tioma has proven effective with virtual, on-line tutoring.”
