“Gavin tutored my son last year and was great but when Tom needed more tutoring this year, I decided to go with a five star tutor with tons of great comments that was half the price. After two sessions, my son said “ he’s good and it is helping, but what I learn in two hours with him is the same as what I learn in one hour with Gavin.” With that, we switched back to Gavin, and lived happily ever after. In our experience, you get what you pay for!”

He has helped me with my Management of Operations MBA class that involves solving complex problems in Excel using formulas and the Solver function. He also is proficient in mathematics and would be a great tutor in that subject as well. He is punctual, friendly, smart, can pick up the subject material quickly, and most importantly of all, is good at teaching the matter back to you. I was struggling greatly in my class and after two sessions with Gavin I already feel that I have grasped the material and think I will do very well in the class.
