Personal Statement

What is my tutoring approach?

?The focus is on teaching students to understand and think in an atmosphere of warmth, patience, and friendliness to free students from fears, calm anxieties, and reduce insecurities.
?To effectively teach and motivate students depends on understanding them. A good way to understand them is to listen to them and to observe them. Their goals, their strengths, their constraints, and their preferences are important to learn.
?The main tutoring products are insigh...

Reviews

He is very knowledgeable and knows his stuff in every category. his support for me was a bit off because he was using ai for study skills. He did go off topic a lot but would?ve stayed on topic. Although, enjoyed my session with him!

Hunter College Prep and various math skills. He has a unique approach to working with a student. My child was very happy with him and satisfied with the provided material

Calling my session 'tutoring' is laughable. I gained nothing from my experience and sought a refund. Chuck doesn't seem like a bad person, but he is certainly a bad tutor; he just wants a captive audience. The vast majority ? more than 45-minutes worth - of my session was Chuck talking at me without pausing. I attempted to interrupt him multiple times, and he would either rudely talk over me or resume speaking without acknowledging my words. His lecture topics included his son's career, his own professional career and accolades, professors I've never heard of, movies I've never heard of, and his thoughts on politics in America. His ranting about his son was interrupted by his wife at one point because even she could tell that it had nothing to do with my tutoring session! Chuck also painstakingly combed through his email during these rants ? narrating each click and mistake as he went ? attempting to find ?resources? for me that I never asked for (he seemingly laughed at me for not being able to afford one of his resources). During the few times I was able to interject into Chuck's word-vomiting and ask a question successfully, he either did not answer my question or implied I should already know the answer. At one point, he told me to utilize Wikipedia as a resource for an explanation because ?it is better at explaining than [him].? It seemed that my questions were an inconvenience to Chuck and that my interruptions were irritating. The only time he engaged with me directly was when he inquired about my college major, which did not pertain to my preparation for the LSAT. Of the ~10 minutes Chuck attempted to explain LSAT logic games utilizing the content he forwarded me, he did not provide any of the necessary context for it to be relevant and failed to address my repeated pleas for him to refocus on my needs. I received the impression that he only teaches through his ?tried-and-true? methods and that he is unable/unwilling to accommodate his tutee's unique learning style/requests. I sincerely hope that Wyzant can identify that his ?lesson review? is bogus and does not reflect any actual edification on the matters I desired. I am utterly perplexed by how Chuck has so many positive reviews, given my horrendous experience. If I could provide him feedback directly, I would highly encourage him to retire and cease tutoring. He is doing those he tutors a disservice and taking advantage of them by bulldozing their voice.

Smartest guy we?ve ever met! Out 14 year old love his session with Chuck. We highly recommend Chuck! Sawyer was able to bring his grade in just a few short lessons.
- Mike and Jenelle A. from North Palm Beach, FL
Charles was very friendly during our session. We went over several resources to help me better navigate the AFOQT. I look forward to utilizing those tools to study and hopefully do well on the exam.
- Andrew D. from Brandon, FL
Chuck comes with years of experience and stories that are so inspiring. Our son Sawyer walked thru the door with so much enthusiasm after his time with Chuck, we spent an hour going over what he learned and the amazing stories of Chuck?s life experiences. My wife and I and ?Grammy Bear? are so happy we found Chuck on this app. It is making a huge difference in our son?s academic career, it?s wonderful! I would highly recommend Chuck to anyone who needs a hand with mathematics! Thank You, Chuck!

Charles was very helpful and more importantly very patient. Charles is extremely knowledgeable on all things finance. He is the only tutor I engaged on this platform that has been able and willing to help me with my mba finance classes. His flexible schedule made it easy to find a time that would work for me.
- Tanya F. from Jamaica, NY
The lesson summary as very detailed for myself to get caught up on the lesson. Also, having Charles included spreadsheets and PDFs for us to use at home so we can review the lesson at home. I highly recommend Charles and have already book him for another lesson for next week.
- Mike and Jenelle A. from North Palm Beach, FL
Always nice to meet with someone who is actually passionate about what they are teaching, Charles provided a lot of resources for me in respect to my topic and helped me better understand the topics of which I was working with. Good attitude as well.

- Isabelle B. from West Palm Beach, FL
Within the time limit of a session, I was able to understand and work through the lesson material on my own with minimal guidance from Charles. I highly recommend Charles for any level of mathematical homework.
- Patrick T. from Bowie, MD
Unfortunately, one of the worst tutoring experiences I've had thus far. Charles was did not use the 1 hour session I booked with him wisely, as he spent the first 30-40 minutes getting off track discussing his experience and accolades, which was completely irrelevant to my homework content. Charles trailed off almost the entire session I booked with him and cut me off when I tried coming back to the homework. We barely went over the homework and I felt like I left with little to no understanding of what I wanted to cover. Charles was impatient, rude and ridiculed me almost the entire session. His attitude was very demeaning and I left feeling very badly about myself and my skills in this subject. I wouldn't recommend booking with Charles, unless you already have a pretty good understanding on the subject because he will scold you.
