Testimonials (79)

During this past school year I was in a AP Calculus class that I was struggling in, and was looking for tutors to help me study certain topics I didn't understand. I feel extremely lucky to have found Faraz, who helped me through this class. Faraz is very good at explaining complicated topics in very easily understandable ways, and breaks down difficult topics in ways that make them much easier to digest. I felt very comfortable asking him questions from my homework or classwork, because I leave every tutoring session having learned everything I went in wondering about and more. Thanks to Faraz's help, I not only passed my class with an A, but also scored a 5 on the AP exam. He is a extremely good teacher and I am very grateful for his help!

Yuri, 32 lessons with Faraz

Faraz is a very efficient and knowledgeable tutor. He provides suggestions and solves any BC Calculus problem my son provides to him. They are breezing through the AP PREP tests, and though there are no guarantees, I suspect that my son will do very well on the upcoming AP exam.

Merima, 8 lessons with Faraz

My daughter had a quiz coming up and needed pre-calculus support. Faraz instant book option made him available instantly. We scheduled this session 40 minutes before and Faraz helped by sending us a zoom because we were having problems with Wyzant working on an iPad. Faraz is very knowledgeable and patient in helping my daughter understand the material.

JANICE, 6 lessons with Faraz

So nice that he was available last minute the evening before an exam. He helped my daughter through the concepts with little notice on the topic. Would book him again.

Elizabeth , 5 lessons with Faraz

My daughter had two sessions with Honors Pre-Calculus with Faraz and he was able to explain the material better to her than her teacher. Faraz gave clear examples and explained the information in a way she could follow and then retain the information. We look forward to working with him again.

Bonny, 3 lessons with Faraz

Faraz has a good time management and deepens into topics and makes topics more interesting. My son is liking it and already started to have a good confidence with just two lessons. I really like how he makes one hour so valuable and not wasting anytime. He is so knowledgeable and he gives great critical thinking exercises to understand the problem.

Helping my kids with Chemistry and Calculus. My kids found Faraz great to work with as he explains the concepts very well and makes it easy to understand. They are making very good progress on these subjects. Very happy to have found him on wyzant to tutor my kids.

Mb, 136 lessons with Faraz

Faraz explained some concepts of AP Calculus B/C to our son who was not too far off, but just kept making mistakes on the problems. Faraz really simplified the process and explained a set of rules to use to attack several types of problems in the future. Faraz really is efficient and clear in his explanations. Our family recommends him without hesitation. We will ask for Faraz to help with AP Chemistry in due course, and will work with him again on the Calculus.

Steve, 12 lessons with Faraz

So glad and relieved I finally found Faraz. I have tried two other calculus tutors and they either didn’t know the material or weren’t able to explain how they arrived at the solution. Faraz knows his stuff and more importantly is able to explain the problem in a way I can understand. He is also readily available. I recommend!

Faraz was instrumental in turning around our sons attitude and confidence in math. Our son started the year after struggling to a C in pre-calc, and ended the year with an A in AP Calculus feeling confident going into the AP test. We have had several tutors, and Faraz was the most knowledgeable and helpful of them all.

Faraz is a reliable and knowledgeable tutor for Calculus BC. He’s well versed in the subject and has helped my son bridge his College Calculus class for the AP exam. Most importantly, Faraz wants his students to succeed- he tries to accommodate his busy schedule and is willing to add additional slots to help him. He prepares him well and I am sure my son would fare well in the upcoming exam.

Algebra 2 lesson was very very helpful. Definitely recommending and will be coming back next time I need any help

Andrew, 9 lessons with Faraz

My daughter has tried a couple of tutors but has really liked Faraz the most! He tutors her for AP Chem and for AP Pre-Calc. He explains things very clearly, patiently and succinctly. She even told me that whereas her AP Chem class at school is so long and difficult to follow, with Faraz, the time goes by quickly and she learns so much! Faraz, you are amazing!! Without Faraz, my daughter would not be doing so well (straight As) in her classes!! Thank you so much—-we are so grateful to have found you!!

He’s been helping my daughter with physics. He answers her questions thoroughly, and he is willing to explain the questions she asks.

Kim, 17 lessons with Faraz

This is the student’s mother writing so I can’t say exactly how he was able to ‘clear the weeds’ for my daughter who was taking AP Calculus online in high school. She had no teaching in her online class and was in desperate need of help. Faraz came through for my daughter when no one else could! I mean before a quiz. Before a test. Before a final. He was there for us. Additionally, we live in Belgium and even with our crazy time difference he was able to accommodate us. If they would get stumped on a problem he would get back to her on his own time and not ‘run the meter’ for their appointment. He was also very accurate for billing. And on the days she required AP physics and AP calc he would manage to cover both subjects in an hour. So I feel he is time conscious and not trying to earn more for doing less. So thankful to have found Faraz!

Jenny, 50 lessons with Faraz

I am taking Calculus in college and was having extreme difficulty. After going to the math lab on campus and spending time after class with my teacher I was still lost. After just one session with Faraz I am back on track. He explained implicit differentiation in a way that made it so easy to understand. He also helped me with a method to break down complex physics type word problems to identify what the question is asking and how to attack and solve them systematically. Unlike many "math" people Faraz was down to earth and SO SO easy to understand. He also responded to all my communications very quickly and was able to work with my very busy schedule. I am very happy with his service and will definitely use it again.

Mary, 1 lesson with Faraz

I was struggling hard with advanced chemistry and algebra 2, I felt like I was falling apart and was about to switch to regular. Faraz has completely changed my year, now I have a better hold on what I am doing. During the entire time Faraz was tutoring me, he reassured me I would do great on my test or quizzes. I highly recommend him to anyone struggling.

Rosemarie, 3 lessons with Faraz

It was just a day left befor final exam of chemistry and calculus, and my son who was in freshman mechanical engineering class in May 2013, was freaking out, and spent half of his day finding tutor in his university tutoring session. It was so last minute and he had his teacher didn't cover alot of chapters and some logics were not making sense to him. He was really getting worried for his finals and didn't want to mess up his GPA and scholarship. I was so lucky to find Faraz through WyzAnt tutoring service. I sent him a message about situation my son was in. He promptly replied back and was willing to come by same day to help my son. After couple hours of session, my son was very please and was fully confident at his chemistry and math preparation. Even on the final exam day Faraz was helping my son on his question just before exam, via emails. Absolutely exceptional services we got from Faraz. Sure enough he did great on his exams and got all 'A's. Couldn't have done without Faraz help.

Shonye, 5 lessons with Faraz

Faraz responded immediately to our request and was very accommodating to our busy schedule. He was very well prepared for our lessons and our kids both thought his teaching style was very concise and thorough.

He is very pleasant and easy to work with and we would highly recommend him!

John, 3 lessons with Faraz

After meeting with my son for the first time, my son walked away saying " Mom he just explains physics so clearly to me and I totally get what he is saying!" While trying to figure out where to have the tutoring sessions, Faraz was very accommodating and found a neutral location that was not far from our house, in addition to being able to tutor at our requested times.
