Perdocere Math and
Science Tutoring
Academic Subject Tutoring & Standardized Test Preparation
Unsurpassed Academic Excellence for Grades 6-12.
Perdocere Math
and Science Tutoring:
Perdocere specializes in providing, by far, the very best private
math and science tutoring available in Westwood, Dover, Medfield, and the surrounding metrowest areas.
One-on-one help at your home with
School Work and SAT & ACT math preparation. Grades 6-12 and college calculus.
The most important validation is what parents and students have to
say, so please take a moment to read the substantial and continuously growing list of over two-hundred
"Parent and
Student Testimonials".
Perdocere is intentionally a one person tutoring organization.
I have been a resident of the area for over twenty-five years, and my reputation is
based upon my personally providing the very best private instruction.
Instructor
Qualifications:
The instructor holds a Ph.D. from Harvard
University, a B.S. from the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, is a graduate of the Boston Latin School, and has over twenty-five years of experience
helping students. He has also held senior corporate positions. Academic
distinction of the instructor is underscored by the fact that upon completing
studies at MIT, he was offered admission with full scholarships to
doctoral programs at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. This included the vary rare achievement of receiving two
separate offers of admission, both with full scholarships, for two
different doctoral programs at Harvard.
The instructor had to turn down one of the full Harvard scholarships in order to accept the other.
Thinking,
not memorization:
An equation, fact, or method that is merely
memorized will easily be forgotten. A student who
does well by just memorizing or following fixed procedures will later find
themselves with a serious disadvantage. Perdocere
emphasizes proper comprehension and the ability to
creatively use knowledge. This is the intent of
school exams, standardized tests such as the SAT and ACT, and college
admissions. The goal is not just to get into the
college of choice, but also to succeed there. Remember, the
foundation our students receive today will define tomorrow.
Personalized
Attention:
Perdocere is intentionally a one person tutoring
organization providing tailored one-on-one instruction.
Each student receives the highest quality instruction
and individualized attention, always from the same experienced Ph.D.
This model provides a level of educational excellence that
a large company, franchise, chain, or class setting could not possibly approach.
Perdocere students consistently outperform those from other tutoring services.
Never any instructors with only a master's degree,
never any graduate student instructors, and never any instructors
from non-rigorous Ph.D. programs.
I do not enroll students and hire tutors to send to your home.
My time is spent preparing for and educating your child myself.
Perdocere is a true premium tutoring service.
The result is that you receive the highest quality instruction, second to none.
Academic
Subject Tutoring:
Perdocere is proud to provide, by far, the best private instruction for school work, homework, and exam
preparation for high school and middle school students, grades 6-12.
Individualized instruction for students who either need to catch
up, maintain grades, or excel beyond their
curriculum. Work with the student's curriculum,
teach the required material, detailed decomposition of
and solutions to problems. Rebuild mathematical foundations, improve
study habits, test taking abilities, organizational skills, build self esteem and confidence.
SAT, PSAT, and ACT Math Preparation:
Perdocere is proud to provide the best math preparation for the SAT, PSAT, and ACT.
Teach the required material,
drill practice exams, detailed decomposition of and
solutions to problems, expose underlying themes, question categories,
time management, and test taking strategies.
Perdocere takes a very unique approach for teaching the math portions of the SAT, PSAT, and ACT: Perdocere actually teaches the math!
No tricks that try to replace learning and comprehension, no gimmicks with fancy names, no relying on memorizing formulas. High scores are earned
through a combination of tailored instruction, diligent work by the student, developing proper problem solving and test taking skills, and drilling practice exams.
Perdocere students consistently achieve superior scores and develop proper problem solving skills for success now and in the future.
Whether to take the SAT or ACT?
The most certain way to determine whether a student has a propensity for one test over the other is to take
a separate practice test for each.
Perdocere not only analyzes the results of these practice tests, but assesses the abilities and capabilities
of the student by directly observing the student during the examination process.
It is usually straight forward to then determine which test is better suited for the student.
Single tests that attempt to determine this propensity suffer from lack
of consideration for a wide variety of factors. The math portions of the SAT and ACT are distinctly different and require very different preparation.
In-Person or Online Tutoring:
If you are within my driving region, I will come to your home.
If you are outside my designated zones, we can meet at a nearby library
or have tutoring online. Online tutoring is ideal for those who desire unsurpassed quality of instruction but do not reside
locally. Perdocere uses electronic pen tablets and speaker phones for online tutoring,
not chat sessions nor messaging.
This provides a true real-time interactive learning experience.
Online tutoring also enables last minute "emergency"
sessions, especially during inclement weather. Please call to inquire about your location.
Online Tutoring for College Calculus:
Online tutoring is available for students taking calculus in college.
Perdocere uses electronic pen tablets and speaker phones for online tutoring,
not chat sessions nor messaging.
This provides a true real-time interactive learning experience.
Perdocere has been Flattered:
It is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Perdocere is constantly being flattered, but never reproduced.
The combination of the one-person tutoring model together with the extensive experience and qualifications of the instructor makes
Perdocere stand out significantly from the rest. For example, recently a senior level math tutor from a local
franchise called to request my SAT math tutoring for themself!
I gracefully said no, but it is a compliment that competitors desire Perdocere's unsurpassed instruction.
Perdocere is proud not only to have set
the bar for the very best math tutoring
in Westwood, Dover, Medfield, and the surrounding towns, but to significantly raise it!
Unsurpassed
Quality:
Perdocere provides the very best instruction and careful
attention for each and every student. Remember, it is a privilege to be a Perdocere student.
Perdocere offers substantial quality, not substantial discounts.
Please take a moment to read the very long and growing list of
parent and student testimonials.
In a region overwhelmed by various companies, franchises, and other tutors,
how does Perdocere thrive as a local one person company?
By providing by far the best private instruction!
Perdocere may modify, improve, or discontinue any of its services at its sole discretion and without notice at any time.
