I was so lucky to find Math Maverick and Lou. My son was having difficulty in math and had not passed the proficiency test. I have had him with other tutors and they were OK but nothing at all like Lou. His math teacher had given up hope of him passing. As a mother it was really hard for me because I knew how hard he was trying and I felt powerless. A friend told me that he saw a tutoring place called Math Maverick. I thought I will keep trying. I called and talked to Lou and I'm so glad I did. The final math proficiency test was 3 weeks away. I explained everything to Lou and he told me that my son may not pass the proficiency but at the very least he would learn math. As soon as my son went to Math Maverick he felt better. Lou loves kids and it shows. he is very patient and encouraging ( he made my son believe that he was good at math). My son passed the proficiency test 3 weeks later and was able to graduate on time with his class. If you have a child having difficulty in school, in any subject, I would encourage you to call Lou, he can help. He did for my son what no one else was able to do because he cared enough to do it and truthfully the others didn't.
