“I wanted to write you a short note to thank you for the work you did with Mark this past spring. You not only turned him around, but restored his natural love of math.”

“I have always been absolutely math phobic. Finally I found Chris Borland to tutor me. That turned out to be an inspired moment. I not only got through the class, I got an A.

"Now I feel a confidence in my math skills that I never had in my forty plus years. I'm not afraid anymore and I know that I can do it.”

Kathleen G. (Student: 2000)

“Chris is a phenomenal math, PSAT, and SAT tutor. I studied with him for over three years and am so grateful for all of his invaluable knowledge and the confidence that he instilled in me as a math student.

"When I started studying with him, I never would have imagined that I would later voluntarily take (and enjoy) calculus!

"Now, years later, the same standardized test-taking skills that he taught me for the PSAT and SAT are helping me immensely in my LSAT prep.

"Chris is patient and efficient in his teaching. I would highly recommend him to everyone!”

“Chris has taken this average boy and taught him not only several levels of math but also an appreciation for the subject. My son is now in the advanced program at his school, which is algebra in 8th grade.

"Chris has also acted as a friend ... advising my son about education in general, organization, love of words as well as numbers.

"I am extremely pleased.”

"Your calculator takes the test – you're just there to push the buttons." Almost true! On this test, nothing's more important than making the most of your Ti-84.
