Perdocere Math and
Science Tutoring
Academic Subject Tutoring & Standardized Test Preparation
Academic Excellence for Math and Science, Grades 6-12.
Perdocere Math
and Science Tutoring:
Perdocere specializes in providing the very best private
math tutoring in Westwood, Dover, Medfield, and the surrounding towns - second to none.
One-on-one help at your home with school
work, homework, studying for exams, and standardized
test preparation. Grades 6-12.
The most important validation is what parents and students have to
say, so please take a moment to read the continuously growing list of over
one-hundred and thirty "Parent and
Student Testimonials". Perdocere is recognized for
providing unsurpassed private math instruction for School Work and SAT & ACT preparation.
I have been a resident of the area for over twenty years, and my reputation is
based upon providing the very best tutoring.
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. The instructor 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 and full scholarships to
doctoral programs at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. This included two
different offers of admission, both with full scholarships, to two
different departments at Harvard.
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 academic excellence that
a chain, franchise, or class could not possibly approach.
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.
Thinking,
not memorization:
An equation, fact, or method that is merely
memorized will easily be forgotten. A student who
does well by just memorizing 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.
Academic
Subject Tutoring:
Help with school work, homework, and exam
preparation for high school and middle school students.
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 solution to problems. Improve
study habits, test taking abilities, organizational skills, and build
confidence.
Standardized
Test Preparation:
Perdocere is proud to provide the very best math preparation in the region for the SAT & ACT, second to none.
Teach the required material,
drill practice exams, detailed decomposition of and
solution to problems, expose underlying themes, question categories,
time management, and learn test taking strategies.
Perdocere takes a unique approach to teaching SAT & ACT math - Perdocere actually teaches the math!
No tricks, no gimmicks. Although Perdocere has never guaranteed high scores, no one can, Perdocere does
consistently provide superior results. Many other chains, franchises, and individuals that
in the past have guaranteed high scores, have now changed their position. High scores are earned
through a combination of hard work by the student, great teaching, proper test taking skills, and drilling practice exams.
During the past academic year, Perdocere students ranged from 700 to 800 on the math portion of the SAT.
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 diagnostic 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 convenience and time saved by taking a single diagnostic test
instead of two separate tests is small, and pales in comparison to the actual test preparation process.
Don't take shorcuts, do the job right.
The math portions of the SAT and ACT are distinctly different and require very different preparation.
Schools
and Teachers:
As experienced educators, we all want what is best for our
students. Perdocere will give a lecture or
lecture series at schools to support and supplement math and
science curricula, and to help prepare students for
standardized tests. Perdocere works with
teachers, counselors, and administrators to help students maximize their
learning experience. Schools and teachers
are welcome to call.
Tutoring for
Teachers:
Perdocere
also offers tutoring for teachers
- review the material you need to teach, help preparing lessons/homework and exams,
help with grading, coaching how to better
communicate concepts to students. As with all tutoring, teacher tutoring
is strictly confidential.
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. Online tutoring also enables last minute "emergency"
sessions, especially during inclement weather. Please call to inquire about your location.
Summer Tutoring:
Perdocere provides the same high quality
tutoring during both the summer and the school year.
Catch up or get ahead. Summer preparation for introductory,
honors, and advanced math courses.
Prepare for the SAT, PSAT, ACT, and SAT Subject Tests.
Perdocere has been Flattered:
It is said than imitation is the ultimate form of flattery. Perdocere has been flattered, but never reproduced.
The combination of the one-person tutoring model together with the extensive experience and qualifications of the instructor make
Perdocere stand out significantly from the rest. Perdocere is proud to provide the very best math tutoring
in Westwood, Dover, Medfield, and the surrounding towns - second to none.
No
Contracts:
Perdocere does not use contracts to retain students, either side can stop the tutoring at
any time. Perdocere retains students by providing the very best instruction and careful
attention for each and every student. Please take a moment to read the substantial and growing list of
parent and student testimonials.
