Taylor has helped me in my college Chemistry, physics, and Calculus (1 and 2) classes. He is so great at providing materials and practice questions. He was great at explaining concepts in a way that actually made sense and wasn’t just surface-level. You can tell he’s passionate about teaching and has a lot of experience. He’s funny and doesn’t make you feel stupid and is willing to slow down and go back to basics to build your foundation of the concept.

Anna, 30 lessons with Taylor

Taylor is the best tutor possible. He brought my son from a place of struggle in his AP Stats class to a place of confidence and true understanding. His grade jumped up and he walked into the AP Stats exam feeling like he had what he needed to score well. Taylor is patient, kind, engaging, empathetic, and gets right to the concepts that matter - he truly understands what is most challenging to a student in the class, and knows how to teach challenging subject matter in a way that truly makes sense. He provides and walks through sample questions and focuses on the most tested subject areas. He also does everything possible to make himself available even at the last minute. My son reached out to him multiple times without any time to spare, and he was always able to accommodate and help. Taylor is truly amazing - my only regret is not finding him sooner! If you/your student is interested in or just starting AP Stats, or coming up on a class test or AP Exam soon, you must call Taylor and grab some time with him. You'll come out so much more ready for AP Stats!

Ira, 8 lessons with Taylor

My daughter had the first lesson with Mr K and she felt encouraged after the lesson as he is very knowledgeable and answered all my daughter’s questions which not all other tutors can answer.

Emma, 8 lessons with Taylor

If you have a high school son struggling with math...Taylor is your guy. My son's exact quote when he hung up from the tutoring session was "That guy is a TOTAL BALLER, he cleared up a week's worth of confusion in one hour." But more importantly, I saw my son go from avoiding Precalculus to strong confidence about math overall again in such a short time. It was the light switch we needed. Taylor's ability to describe concepts plainly in a way that was innately complimentary to the teacher was a big bonus, as well. Also, my son said Taylor has a "dashcam" where he shows you how he is doing the problems with his own writing, which my son said works much better than the digital whiteboard. 5 stars! Baller! Dashcam problem solving! Thank you, Taylor!

Malina, 12 lessons with Taylor

My daughter had one lesson (so far) with Taylor. The next day she scored a 91% on her Pre-Calculus test, which is great for her. He was kind and explained things to her in ways that really resonated with her. Thank you so much Taylor, you'll be hearing from us again.

Darren, 1 lesson with Taylor

Helped me refresh my Ap Stats knowledge before a test. Was really kind and helped explain things that I had questions on or didn’t fully understand. Will definitely be using him as a tutor more!

Sophia, 5 lessons with Taylor

Taylor is a great tutor. I need to understand the concepts behind the calculations, and he did a great of providing analogies to help crystallize the concepts in my brain. He cleared up a semester’s worth of misunderstanding in 20 minutes.

Danielle , 2 lessons with Taylor

Amazing tutor! Taylor was patient and explained everything well. My son was feeling nervous before the session but once he talked with Taylor, he felt comfortable. He ended the session with confidence and I would highly recommend Taylor!

Mandy, 1 lesson with Taylor

Taylor is genuinely amazing! No matter what you need help with, he’s always available, patient, and ready to support you. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and makes even the hardest stats concepts easy to understand. 100% would recommend him to anyone taking statistics.

Sara, 4 lessons with Taylor

My son said the lesson was great. My son needed help with AP Physics and has a terrible teacher. So it was important that we get him a really good tutor that can teach him the basics. The school teacher is teaching only for the AP test and not really helping the kids understand the material. I liked that Taylor recorded the session so that my son can go back and watch it.

Vicki, 1 lesson with Taylor

I recently worked Taylor(Tutor) to tackle some challenging calculus concepts, and I was really impressed. His strength lies in breaking down complex topics—like derivatives, integrals, and limits—into simple, easy-to-grasp ideas. He has a knack for explaining things in a way that just clicks, making what once felt overwhelming totally manageable. If you’re struggling with calculus, I’d definitely recommend him!"

Tom, 28 lessons with Taylor

Taylor was great, I loved his methods of explanation it was done at a good pace with easy to understand methods of visualization. Highly recommend Taylor as ny tutor after a lesson with him my confidence shot up and so did my next test grade.

Michael, 7 lessons with Taylor

I wish I had found this teacher earlier!!! My kid needed urgent help for his AP Physics finals. Taylor was amazing and got my kid the score you needed it, so thank you so much!!!

Jake, 4 lessons with Taylor

Taylor has been absolutely a lifesaver helping me navigate excel, relive anxiety about making sense of equations, giving me confidence in my work, and boosting my efficiency a thousand fold as I analyze data for my final project. Taylor is a complete lifeline, such a cool guy, so invested, so insanely hardworking. People like this exist?? I am so grateful for the way he helped me navigate my work. Just incredible.

Rajeev, 42 lessons with Taylor

This was the best tutor I have ever had. For anyone struggling with Graduate level Statistics, Statistic Reasoning, Probability, or Distribution, Taylor will help you not only figure out the questions you need, but help walk you through and understand them as well!

Ryan, 16 lessons with Taylor

Taylor helped me through a very challenging semester of trigonometry that I would have otherwise failed. Instead, I got an A! He was always patient, on time, knew how to teach me all of the material and had an upbeat demeanor. Math was never "my subject," and I needed to take trigonometry as part of a career change later in life (my late 30s), so I was very nervous about how successful I could be. With Taylor's help, I not only got through the course but excelled and am so grateful for his help!

Alexander, 206 lessons with Taylor

I contacted Taylor to help me with my final Calculus exam and I felt so much more confident going into it because of his help. I will be keeping his info for future use, if I ever need it.

Blake, 2 lessons with Taylor

Helped my son with Pre AP calculus. Did a great a job . Walked him through several concepts he had been struggling with and helped him understand. I would highly recommend using Taylor K.

Lauren, 2 lessons with Taylor

Taylor is smart, knows the material (pre calc) and a great teacher with an easy going style and friendly approach. Highly recommend.

Brett, 5 lessons with Taylor

Good explanations of the stats concepts. I’m Taking a class that is taught with R studio and an otherwise unique language as it pertains to practice problems, it’s a real non-traditional sort of statistical analysis - Taylor has been able to help me decipher some of the language and apply more traditional and useful methods that make sense and are more in line with the statistical concepts as a whole.

Brian, 2 lessons with Taylor

My 11th grade daughter has concluded that AP Stats is the hardest class she's ever taken - and she was despairing. Until we found Taylor. Taylor has the ability to clarify concepts which affords a different perspective than taught in class. Taylor's talents translate into other subjects - as he has also been able to help my daughter with AP Physics and Calculus.

Julia, 22 lessons with Taylor

He is well structured and organized if you want to learn calculus. His methods are phenomenal, well thought out and he is able to connect with whomever on their level.

Carl, 1 lesson with Taylor

Taylor helped my son better understand his geometry material by patiently walking him through problems and providing positive reinforcement and helpful cues. My son is looking forward to future sessions even though he was on the fence about tutoring in the beginning.

Daphne, 14 lessons with Taylor

My daughter was struggling with some very difficult 9th grade geometry and Taylor was able to help her see and understand the issues so much more thoroughly, even after the very first session. He is wonderful.

Elaine, 5 lessons with Taylor

Very accessible approach to teaching. Structured and highly communicative. Makes learning feel affirming and engaging. Looking forward to continuing to work with Mr. K. Highly recommended tutor.

Bunny, 23 lessons with Taylor

I did some tutoring with Taylor to help me with my university statistics course. After only one lesson everything became so much clearer. As a non-math major I was struggling with a few concepts that Taylor was able to explain so thoroughly but also in a way that was not overwhelming. After a few lessons I was already so much more confident in tackling the exams and homework.

Maya, 8 lessons with Taylor

My daughter was having trouble with AP Physics in high school. I was able to set up tutoring with Taylor the next evening before her test. She said he explained things clearly and she left with a way better understanding of the material. Will be setting up more tutoring sessions in the future.

Sunny, 1 lesson with Taylor

My daughter had last min panic for a statistics test that she wasn’t understanding. Taylor made time that night and helped her go through and understand some very difficult concepts. Excellent tutor! Highly recommend.

Krista, 1 lesson with Taylor

Taylor was fantastic at helping me through some very complicated Geometry topics. He was fantastic and appreciated how broke things down. Look forward to working with Taylor again.

Orlando, 3 lessons with Taylor

Taylor has been a great teacher: he's recognized my son's strengths and weaknesses, he's been patient to effectively communicate with my son, where communication can be challenging, and he has kept my son interested and looking forward to learning more. So completely happy with these sessions.

Keith, 9 lessons with Taylor

Taylor was patient and helped my daughter with step by step instruction. She has been traumatized by other tutors getting frustrated with her, or just not being able to help her. Taylor was great. We will definitely be using him again!

Audrey, 25 lessons with Taylor

M, 3 lessons with Taylor

I have met with Taylor a few times and is always good at explaining things in a detailed way that increases my understanding of the subject. He is also approachable, so I never feel silly when I ask questions.

Cypress, 7 lessons with Taylor

I've had a lot of math tutors over the years, as it's not my best subject, and I have to say Taylor has definitely been the most clear and precise of all the tutors I've ever had. He makes everything really easy to understand, and is very thorough with his explanations. Great at making clear and helpful visual aids as he explains processes, and is extremely patient, understanding, and knowledgeable. Taylor taught me Statistics II, which is no easy feat, and not only did I understand the concepts, but I got an A in the course! He also tutored me in Trigonometry, which I also got an A in! 10/10 would recommend Taylor to anyone seeking a math tutor. No matter what your level of math skill is, I'm certain Taylor will be able to help.

Cristina , 15 lessons with Taylor

Calculus is a subject that I have struggled with many a time in the past, however, with Taylor's help, I was able to reach the point of proper fundamental understanding, after which it became pretty simple. I am a huge fan of people who are capable of explaining difficult topics clearly and simply, and Taylor was no exception. My weekly lessons with him are definitely a key reason why I was able to ace my Calculus class this summer.

Zeeshan, 8 lessons with Taylor

Great at explaining tough concepts and making them easier to understand and is also very knowledgeable and understanding and is always willing to help and answer questions

Sean, 10 lessons with Taylor

Really boosted my confidence on finding limits. I like how he writes live and I can watch him solving the problems in realtime with his pen and paper. It helps a ton to walk through them.

Christopher, 78 lessons with Taylor

My son loves his sessions with Taylor! He was actually smiling when they got done with the first session! He hasn't done that with math since his very first High School Math teacher back in 2018! Thank you so much. He said you really explained things well and helped him see the patterns in math again. My son actually said he wouldn't mind doing sessions on his off school days either and he could see him self loving math again! It used to be his favortie subject. I can not express how much this means. I just wish I had found you sooner!!

Elizabeth, 22 lessons with Taylor

Taylor taught me the majority of my statistics course and was very clear with it. It was great working with him! He is very knowledgeable, patient and adaptive depending on what you want to study. He also helped accommodate my study hour as some of them were very late .

My son really enjoys Taylor's lessons. Extremely knowledgeable with the subjects he is tutoring. Knows the curriculum very well. We look forward to setting up more regular sessions.

May, 10 lessons with Taylor

My daughter said he was very helpful in explaining concepts in an easy to grasp manner. She would definitely work with him again in the future. We highly recommend Taylor.

Jill, 4 lessons with Taylor

I’ve never really been great at science, and was especially struggling in my college physics class. I requested a lesson on very short notice because of an exam the next day, and Taylor was able to fit me into his schedule. He explained every topic thoroughly and didn’t overcomplicate it. He was also very patient and answered every question I had, big or small. I learned more in that one session than I did during a whole month of class lectures. I definitely recommend Taylor and will be scheduling more lessons in the future!

Iren, 2 lessons with Taylor

AP Stats - struggling and started to dislike the class. Taylor made it possible to see a difference and turn that thought around. He even go back and explain the concepts that were missing. Most of all, we needed more time and he even sacrificed his family time to facilitate tutoring. Thanks so much!

Navieta, 22 lessons with Taylor

Taylor clearly explained a concept that my daughter was unable to understand at school. She got a 100 on her next math quiz. We will definitely book with Taylor again.

Pamela, 2 lessons with Taylor

Taylor is my best statistics teacher. I have used his tutoring couple times, and he was able to break things down using simple concepts. I’m very thankful for his help and would suggest him to anyone struggling with statistics.

Kristi, 9 lessons with Taylor

Taylor helped me with Chemistry and Mathematics, and it all made sense to me after he explained it the first time. He is nice and always ready to help, with something I don't understand. Very good!

Katrin, 10 lessons with Taylor

My son is in 11th and needed to prepare Calc test for the next day exam so needed to find a tutor immediately. To start with, Taylor is very responsive so it's easy to communicate with. Second, as soon as the lesson started, my son clicked with him right away and found the he explained the subject very well to make it easy to understand. And... he even said that Taylor taught better than his school teacher (which is surprising to me cuz I know he likes his teacher at school). So if you are looking for a tutor, just try him first, you won't get disappointed.

Rica, 3 lessons with Taylor

Taylor is knowledgeable and encouraging. He has helped me score much better in my online Intro to Stats class. Definitely book a session with him :)

Chelsea, 2 lessons with Taylor

He is incredible and helped me prep for the ASVAB. Taylor gave me the confidence I needed to excel. You are lucky if you can book time with him. 5/5, highly recommend him, he demystified math like teachers I've had in the past were too lazy to do. Incredible guy, super patient, wish I could schedule more with him.

Joseph, 8 lessons with Taylor

Taylor is very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him as a tutor! He was able to pick up immediately and explain the concepts I had trouble with. After our tutor session, I scored much higher on my next assignment! thanks Taylor!

JJ, 25 lessons with Taylor

The materials that Taylor has for his own classes are extremely useful. He helped me catch up on 2/3 chapters worth of concepts in just two, one hour, sessions. He helped immensely with my understanding of the concepts covered in my AP Stats class. He didn't go on tangents about material that wasn't relevant, but stuck to the main ideas and used example problems to help with conceptual understanding.

Ana, 5 lessons with Taylor

Taylor’s teaching methods are great. Very clear and concise. Doesn’t waste your time explaining meaningless background information and always tutors with the intent to help you understand the material. This has helped my daughter learn skills with a truly warm, personal and caring teacher like Taylor. Very quick to respond, and is amazing. He has my highest recommendation.

Sonali, 20 lessons with Taylor

I’m not technically savvy therefore it took me a few attempts to connect with Taylor but I finally managed attend the session. I am extremely happy with the results and I feel more confident to complete my math assignment. Thank you, Sincerely, Karen Lingard

Karen, 2 lessons with Taylor

Taylor was extremely patient. We had a few technical glitches that had nothing to do with him and each time we logged back in he was still there waiting patiently. My son is not easy to impress but he learned so much from this tutor. Don’t hesitate if you need Statistics help. He is the man! Thank you!

Sherrine, 3 lessons with Taylor

Taylor has been very helpful throughout our three Algebra II tutoring sessions. He has helped me understand concepts to a greater extent. I am able to complete all assignments with more understanding and have more confidence in class.

Ethan, 6 lessons with Taylor

My son said that Taylor taught him. Taylor knows how to break down the concepts so they actually make sense. I would highly recommend him to anyone who has AP stat, and we will continue using him until the AP exam is over.

Trevor, 2 lessons with Taylor

Taylor is very patient and has helped my daughter with understanding her assignments and material in Chemistry and Algebra II. Her grades have significantly improved since Taylor has been working with her. We couldn't ask for a better tutor!

Joe, 38 lessons with Taylor

Taylor did such an amazing job with helping me! Very quick while also being thorough. I was on a time crunch so it was nice that I was able to send him what I needed help with before. He had printed out everything and was prepared and ready for our tutoring session. It being my first time with this website I was amazed that Taylor was able to help me learn so much so quick!

Chelsea, 2 lessons with Taylor

It's clear that Mr. K knows both how to explain a concept and also how to deconstruct it in a way that makes sense to a student. He does an amazing job at understanding exactly what I don't fully grasp, taking the time to thoroughly work through every aspect of the problem at hand. His classroom setup is also super unique and provides for real-time recording of how we're working through the question. Would definitely recommend!

Katelin, 7 lessons with Taylor

He came prepared with materials, slides and molymod molecular. He asked questions to know where I need help with. I didn't understand pretty much any of my chemistry class. He gave explanation of examples step by step understanding the basic then moved to the confusing subjects. Then guild me with example problems for me to solve. He didn’t make me feel rushed or make me feel like I was dumb. He had helped me to understand a lot in two hours. Highly recommend him to others.
