"I have been a math tutor and teacher for 15 years. I began my teaching career with The Princeton Review by teaching and tutoring SAT math. Since then, I have taught in the public school system of New York City, in a private school in Westchester County and, now, in a private school in Greenville, SC. I am certified to teach both at the grades 5 through 9 level (middle school) and at the grades 7 through 12 level (high school). I am a very energetic, active teacher in the classroom and I put a lot of sincere caring into the way I tutor and teach. The head of my department thinks enough of me to make me the only teacher in the school who teaches four Honors courses.

I have tutored hundreds of students in math - some as early as Elementary School, through Middle School and into Upper School. Most of my students learn with me throughout the school year - some even continue during the summer break. I tutor students in their school curricula but, in addition to year-round tutoring of grade-based curricula, I specialize in training for the SAT and ACT exams. I have helped students earn high scores on those important, college-entry exams - some greatly exceeding their expectations.

I care very much about the students that I teach and tutor. My style is supportive and nurturing. I know what a struggle math can be for many and, through patient modeling, I build a student's confidence and achieve excellent results. The students that I tutor are very loyal and I tutor many students over a period of many years.

Testimonials:

"We have known Marty B. for well over 10 years. When it came time for an SAT math tutor, we called him and no one else. He has always made our son feel comfortable in a way that allows him to engage fully in the work. Our son looked forward to his weekly sessions with Marty, yes, hard to believe a 17 year old looked forward to his math tutor! The ACT and SAT scores CLEARLY reflected Marty's influence, considering that he scored far higher on Math than all other subjects on the tests." less...
