Math With Mr. Cottone

Working with Mr. Cottone has been a wonderful experience. Initially, admitting the need for a tutor caused some tension in our household. However, Mr. Cottone was incredibly supportive, demonstrating patience and helping to restore our confidence in the process.

Robert has taught two of my children. The younger child's math education was disrupted by COVID, resulting in knowledge gaps. To address this, Robert guided her through Richard Rusczyk's Introduction to Algebra, a difficult text, the summer prior to her freshman year of high school. Even though she met with Robert four times a week, our daughter never complained, thanks to his patience and charm. Her math skills greatly improved. Our older child took advanced algebra with Robert during her sophomore year of high school. She audited a multivariable calculus course at UC Berkeley before starting college and credited Robert's teachings from three years ago for helping her keep up. She also believes that Robert's guidance was instrumental in her qualifying for Harvard's toughest math courses. Both children found Robert's teaching challenging yet engaging and appreciate his meticulousness, clarity, and patience. Overall, Robert is an outstanding teacher.

My daughter received tutoring from Mr. Cottone for her AP Calculus course in anticipation of her important AP examination. She appreciated her interactions with Mr. Cottone, who assisted her in achieving a remarkable score on the AP Exam. I strongly endorse his services.

Working with Mr. Cottone has been a delightful experience. My son has shown significant improvement in his math skills within a short period of time. He grasps the math concepts that he previously missed in class and is progressing in all parts of his math curriculum. In addition to his excellent tutoring services, Mr. Cottone is accommodating with any scheduling changes and is empathetic towards unexpected situations that arise. We are grateful for his flexibility.

An outstanding tutor, Mr. Cottone possesses the ability to explain complex concepts with ease, and his patient and supportive demeanor make him a great choice for those seeking additional assistance. Highly recommended, he maintains effective communication, offers reasonable pricing, and scheduling is a breeze. Thanks to his expert guidance, my daughter's math grade saw rapid improvement!
