Testimonials

Rodrigo is amazing he took the time to review the material I sent him that I didn’t understand. To which he answered every single one and then explained it clearly to me. I 100%recommend him if you have a test the next day and have no idea what is going on. Trust me he literally explained 2 weeks of confusion in 1 hour. I feel ready to ace that test all thanks to Rodrigo!

Amazing Tutor! Rodrigo really dedicates his time to making sure you understand the concepts and are prepared for your exams/quizzes. He is a great explainer, and honestly one of the best tutors I’ve had. He knows what he is talking about and very professional.
