“I HIGHLY recommend Volak as a calculus tutor. He tutored my daughter in 11th grade and also my son in his first year of college. Not only was he a fantastic tutor who was able to help both of them despite having different needs and different learning styles, but he has been communicative, flexible, always kind and will go out of his way to help with scheduling etc. I am so grateful for him and for his expertise - it made all the difference for my kids, especially my daughter. Thank you, Volak!!!”

“Volak is the best tutor I've ever had! He helped me complete semester 2 of precalc honors with an A in just four weeks. He made everything so clear and easy to understand and lessons with him were never boring. He was also very patient and kind. He also prioritizes understanding over memorizing which really helped my retention of the material. I will definitely be back for AP Calc! Update: I came back for AP Calculus and had weekly sessions with Volak. He helped me get an A in the class and review for the exam! I felt very confident going into the exam and he made all the concepts clear and easy to understand intuitively. Best tutor EVER! Couldn't have done AP Calculus without his help!”

“Mr. Volak has helped me out so much with practicing new material that my professor didn't cover concerning Cal 1 and Cal 2, at the time of some of our lessons and provides extra example questions to help review topics. Also, he helps in mentioning what to do if you have gotten stuck solving one of his practice problems, or if you are on the right track to solving the problem. I recently gotten a 100 on my third Cal 2 exam, as of the time of writing this, mainly through him and review some of the material prior to my exam date. Thank you so much Mr. Volak. EDIT: Got my final exam back. Got a 92.5 on it and passed Cal 2 with an A+.”

“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your incredible support in helping me understand complex calculus equations. Your teaching style made such a difference, and I truly appreciate the effort you put into explaining difficult concepts. The way you used the digital whiteboard to draw graphs and break things down visually was really effective—it made the material much easier to follow. I also really appreciated your kindness, patience, and great sense of humor, which made the learning process much more enjoyable. Additionally, I’m excited to try out the app you recommended! I haven’t had a chance to explore it yet, but it looks like a great tool, and I’m looking forward to seeing how it can help with my studying. Thanks again for all your help—I genuinely appreciate it! Best regards!”

“Amazing teacher for preparation SAT! Thank you so much, Volak, for your great job, for your professionalism.”

“My daughter was struggling with Calculus AB in 10th grade. She has been a straight A math student and it is her favorite class but she was having a hard time getting above a B in Calculus. We tried a few different tutors and she really like Volak. By the end of the year she was getting 95-100s on all of her tests and even though she needed a very high grade on the final to end the year with an A she managed to get it thanks to the fantastic work Volak did with her. She said she learned more in 1-2 hours per week with him than she did in class, and it showed. Now she is doing SAT math with him this summer and he goes above and beyond with practice tests and helping her focus on the specific quesitons she is missing. Cannot recommend him enough, he's been a blessing for her.”

“Volak is a great math tutor! My son didn't fully understand some topics in Algebra II. He had a few lessons with Volak to prepare for his NYS regents test. From the first session, it was clear that Volak is an expertise in mathematics and has the ability to teach complex concepts in an accessible and engaging manner. I highly recommend Volak!”

“Just excellent in all ways as a tutor.”
— Daniel
“I am currently taking calculus, and before meeting with Volak I was averaging 60’s on quizzes and low 70’s on tests. Volak makes topics incredibly easy, and I go from completely lost to almost mastering the material in one or two lessons. After meeting with Volak for a couple weeks, my grades shot up. On my last test I got a 101%, and the most recent quiz I got a 97%, with little studying apart from tutoring prior to the exams. Volak has great energy and really knows the subjects he teaches. Truly a lifesaver and I highly recommend!!”

“My experience with Volak has been great. In my opinion he's great to work with. Again I graduated high school in 1980. I'm a bit old school I would say. Volak is extremely patient and breaks problems down in a way that I can understand.”

“Volak was an extremely helpful teacher. He helped walk me through difficult subjects and explain them in a perfectly understandable way. He was always nice and always made sure that I understood something before moving on to something new. Even teaching me new ways to help me study. Overall he was a great tutor and ultimately the only reason I was able to pass math this semester.”

“My man Volak may have the name of a super villain, but he's a great math tutor and he's taken me from a F-D student to a B-A student. He explains concepts thoroughly, and goes back to the basics when I'm inevitably confused. 10/10.”
