Our son was on track to earn a college scholarship and was Nationally ranked in men's gymnastics. However, he was failing math putting his dream of competing at the collegiate level in jeopardy. We contacted Martin who explained that there was no simple fix, but that he would do all he could do to help bring his grade up. Not only did he pass the class, but also returned for SAT prep with Martin. Our son is now on his way to a D1 University with not only an athletic scholarship, but an academic one as well. We do not believe this would have been possible without Martin's help! Thank you! read more

Martin has been a blessing! My daughter was struggling in her advanced math class as a freshman in high school. Somehow we found Martin and he made math so much easier for her. She would come home from school saying the new math concept is confusing. Then after an hour session she'd say "yeah, it's easy. I got this." She worked with Martin all 4 years of high school. She loved his humor and ability to explain things in a way she can understand. She is now headed off to college and my son had his first session a few weeks ago. He really enjoyed it and looks forward to working with Martin the next few years. read more

I have to echo the sentiments of previous reviewers. Our daughter has some learning difficulties and Martin was able to help her get passed her CHSPE that she had previously failed twice. He was very easy to work with and an obvious professional. Couldn't be more satisfied. read more

My daughter has been coming here for a few months now and I have to say Martin is incredible. We've been looking for a tutor for awhile, trying out different places ( mathnasium, math professors, etc...) but wasn't able to find someone who understands what she was learning and why she was struggling. Thankfully we found Martin. Not only has my daughters grade improved dramatically but she looks forward to going to her class and not so stressed out all the time. This is not at all like other tutoring places where parents drop off their kids like a day care and tutors shove worksheets for your kid to work on until you pick them up. Martin actually helps your kid with their homework, prepare them for tests and really helps them understand what they are learning in class. Above and beyond what any parent can ask for ! read more

I first heard of this place when I was looking for a tutor for the SAT. After working with Martin for over a month, I was able to bring my SAT score up from a 1310 to a 1510! This place helped me out tremendously and I can't thank it enough! read more

I will just start with saying that Martin is the best tutor I have ever had. I have been tutoring with him since I was in high school, (6 years now), and I only wish I had started sooner. He will show you that anyone can be successful in math. He built my confidence and math skills to unimaginable heights. He never makes you feel inferior, or incapable. He is always, kind, patient and extremely punctual. Martin will go above and beyond to help you succeed. You will not regret choosing him as a tutor. Don't waste your time with anyone else. read more

Martin helped our daughter who was struggling with math in high school. Her confidence and grades increased immediately. We signed her up to work with Martin for ACT prep, she was early accepted to her first school choice with a Dean's Scholarship worth $14,000 per year. Always professional, easy to work with and student focused. Highly recommended! read more

Martin is very knowledgeable, effective, a gifted teacher, and his easy going demeanor makes him very fun and approachable to his students. My sons have been seeing him for SAT/ACT enhancement help and have also come to him when they need help clarifying a lesson their high school math classes. They feel very comfortable with him, enjoy his teaching approach and have improved since having him as a tutor. I love that they feel a lot more confident with their math & testing abilities and it shows in their test results! I had tried a well known chain tutoring center before and my sons were not engaged or happy there because it was mostly doing exercises without an instructor taking the time to get to know them and their learning strengths and weaknesses. I am very happy that we found Martin because he has gotten to know my sons (who are very different) and engages them in different ways to meet their needs. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs help or just wants to enhance their math or SAT/ACT testing abilities. read more

Martin is the best in the business! Have been going to him since Freshman year in high school and still use him Freshman year in college. He is knowledgable on all parts of math and is really good at teaching at a speed that best suits his student. I am never afraid to ask questions as he is very patient. All in all, Martin is the man! read more

Martin is an amazing tutor. I have been coming to him for help with math for about 8 years now and have nothing but good things to say about him. He is willing to do whatever he can to get me to do well in a class, he is always on time, and he is always reachable through text/email with any questions I may have. I also love that he is very tech savy by being amazing with computers & programs as well as calculators. Anyone in need of help see Martin! I would recommend him to anyone :) read more

I just want to say thank you to Martin! My daughter on a cram basis had to retake the ACT test to qualify for the next level of academic scholarship at her #1 choice college. In a very short period of time (through both their hard work), her ACT score moved up 4 points and earned her an additional $4000 a year academic scholarship for 4 years--a savings of $16,000--that's what I call a good return on your investment. Additionally, he is tutoring her in calculus and she is tracking to receiving an "A". Recently she was working on a really tough problem for extra credit on a Sunday and she texted Martin for help....he jumped right in to get her pointed in the right direction. Other times, late nights when she is studying for a test and is in tears so frustrated by not understand something, she texted Martin and (maybe we got lucky) but he responded back and totally put her anxiety to rest. Now I am not advocating that you call him at all hours, just that he really becomes part of your team/village and gets fully engaged. Thanks again! read more

Martin helped my daughter with SAT and ACT math preparation. As a result, my daughter increased her SAT score from 1350 to 1470 and got ACT score of 32! Martin made Math concepts easier to understand, kept her engaged, and motivated her to do better. He is also very professional and accommodating. We highly recommend his services. read more

My son is a strong academic student & strives for excellence, however, he has always had some anxiety & frustration when it came to math class. He lacked the confidence when it came to taking chapter & final exams & usually ended prior school years w/ a borderline grade of 90%. He wanted to start out Algebra 1 strong so had asked me to get him a math tutor. After meeting several tutors & attending trial sessions, my son felt most comfortable w/ Martin at MCS Tutoring. Martin has been instrumental in my son's improved math skills, study techniques & has helped build his confidence to perform well in the test-taking process. He always talks about the new methods he has learned w/ Martin, which made more sense than what the teacher had originally taught for the lesson. Martin is encouraging, patient and has even inspired his college ambitions and a career path interest. And of course the results were undeniable as my son finished off the final semester w/ a 97% grade in Algebra 1. He is even motivated to take an advanced math class for the next school year! Whether your child is struggling or just needs that extra boost to perform a little better, I would highly recommend Martin at MCS as our experience has been a tremendous success. read more

Martin has and continues to make a remarkable difference in the quality and processes of my children's school experience beginning in Jr. Hi, then HBHS, and now into the college years. Martin continues to tailor his talents to best suit the needs of the student. Always reliable, polite, and keeps the parents informed. Martin has also been a wonderful role model. read more

My daughters both used Martin. The results have been great. The oldest is now a sophomore at Boston University. Our youngest is excelling in high school. We highly recommend his services to anyone wanting to improve their grades and test scores. read more

I just graduated high school, but I have been coming here since 10th grade for help with math. Martin, helped me maintain my math grade and helped me understand the material. He is professional and tutoring sign ups are very easy and organized to do online. I recommend him to anyone struggling in any subject. read more

I started off with a score of 1425 on the SAT, and I finished with a 1980. I am currently attending the United States Air Force Academy, and couldn't have done it with a 1425 SAT. Investing in tutoring from Martin was the best thing I could have done, especially for the math portion of the exam. I highly recommend him above all other tutoring programs, its worth every penny! This small investment I made in High School will pay dividends the rest of my life. read more

I was referred to Martin from a friend. My daughter is now a sophomore and he has been tutoring her for 2 years now. He helped her through Geometry Honors and Algebra 2 Honors at a very competitive high school. Because of his one on one tutoring and help even outside of the regular tutoring hours, she received A's in all her math classes. I am now going to enroll my 6th grade daughter with him to help her connect the dots and lapses in her math skills. He is very technologically savvy and this helps because Martin and my daughter do the work on their computers and all the work is saved. She uses the notes later to review what they learned. He is conveniently located at the HB library and if I am running errands and can't pick her up on time, she is able to sit in the library and do some quiet studying on her own. He has really helped her self confidence and her preliminary test scores (sophomore PSAT) such that she has received mail from some of the top universities as a sophomore! (CalTech, Brown, etc... so far). We will definitely be using him for the PSAT and SAT prep as well. read more
