Reviews
Dr Peter is able to identify the problem of my daughter?s math over only three sessions and develop different strategies to work with her. He keeps constant communication with parents and let s us know how the session went.

The lesson was exactly what I needed. He knew exactly what he was doing and helped me through every step.
- John O. from Warminster, PA
I have gone through 5 chapters of calculus at this point and I am about a week ahead of my class at school. What I like about Dr. Peter's lessons is that he makes notes as we work and shows them so I don't get confused, and at the end of the lesson he sends me the notes.

Dr. K Is a very competent and effective Tutor. I would not hesitate to recommend him for anyone seeking Math tutoring for their Middle or High school child. Although I am quite certain his Math capabilities would be very useful to those students who have a more advanced understanding of Math at a much higher level. Dr. K is dependable and very punctual. He was very diligent at keeping us very informed on the weekly progress of the tutoring sessions. We would highly recommend Dr. K to anyone in the area seeking help with their child's Math studies.
- Rick G. from Morrisville, PA
Dr. Peter was very helpful in offering different explanations. If there were something I didn't understand, he would help me examine it from different angles in order to come to a solution. Very patient, tried to help me come to the solution on my own rather than just giving it to me.

Dr. K is a professional tutor. He incorporates his personal work, and life experiences into his teachings. He has a professional background in mathematics, and physics. As well, he holds a doctorate this subject. Personally, he helped me attain very high marks in both Calculus 1 and Calculus 2 (Calculus A and B). Collectively, I attained an "A" average for both courses. I received a 3.75 gpa in my college math. Individually, I was never fond of mathematics, but his tutoring sessions helped me enjoy math, and value its applications into my daily life. I would recommend him anyday as a tutor, and highly respect his professional teaching attitude!
- Eric M. from Southampton, PA
Peter is very hardworking and willing to go the extra mile to help his students. He also does a great job of explaining the concepts behind Calculus, which I found immensely helpful. I would definitely recommend Peter to other students!
- Amy D. from Doylestown, PA
I have taken the GRE exam several times. The highest quantitative score I achieved on my own was in the 37th percentile, and this was after spending hours of studying for several months. With only two weeks of Dr. Peter's tutoring, I scored in the 64th percentile. Not only did he help me to understand the more complex problems, he corrected my approach which helped me to become a more efficient problem solver. Dr. K is very professional and reasonable with his time. In regards to the GRE quant section, Dr. K tutoring was money well spent!
- Dwayne D. from Trenton, NJ
I highly recommend Dr. Peter to anyone in need of an advanced math tutor. My daughter joined an AP Calculus AB class 6 weeks after the class had started. Dr. Peter was not only able to assist her in catching up, but he helped her to master the material. Up until working with Dr. Peter, my daughter's advanced math classes were the ones she dreaded, now she is confident and excited to take on AP Calculus BC. Dr. Peter is knowledgeable, kind, and patient, and at the same time pushes his students to work hard and reach beyond their comfort level. My highest recommendation and gratitude to Dr. Peter, a gifted teacher!

I came to Dr. Peter K for tutoring in the quantitative section of the GRE. I had previously taken the GRE twice, but scored only in the 56th percentile. However, my goal was to obtain a score at least in the 80th percentile. Dr. K was very good at analyzing where I was mathematically and recommending steps to take to become more proficient. And when I made mistakes, he was very good at explaining where I went wrong and how to go about answering the question. What he excels at is both telling you the mathematics and the strategy of the GRE. When I started, I was getting about half of the practice problems wrong. By the time we finished several weeks later, I was only missing one or two problems per practice test. This improvement was very noticeable and we finished our sessions early to account for my growing proficiency with the quantitative questions. Most of the work we did was using the ETS GRE book. We mainly did practice test problems. If you have trouble understanding why you get practice test questions wrong, or you just don't know how to approach the problems, I would definitely recommend Dr. K to you.
- Blair S. from Newtown, PA
My son feels he is well prepared for Calculus this year! Thank you so much for working with him this summer.
- Lu Ann M. from Huntingdon Valley, PA
Dr. K tutored my son for math SATs, including the SAT subject test, as well as AP Calculus. Dr. K is an excellent tutor who my son thoroughly enjoyed working with. Dr. K was able to present complex ideas in a way my son could easily comprehend. He helped him build a very solid basis in math and then walked him through advanced math subjects. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. K as a very reliable and excellent tutor. I know we will go back to him without hesitation.
- Marcin C. from Warrington, PA
Dr. Peter did an awesome job with my son. He worked with our budget and schedule and was very flexible with his availability. I highly recommend him. Thanks!
- Patti S. from Warrington, PA
Normally, I am an A-B student. Math especially is one of my stronger subjects and I've never really lowered beyond an A- in a math class. But when I started AP Calculus BC, I found myself with a 39. A 39! I was in over my head. Recovery from that seemed impossible but Peter was able to help me. After working through the chapters to prepare me for my next test, he backtracked to knowledge I never realized I was lacking in. His friendliness and charisma make it near impossible not to pay attention and his knowledge of all things math makes learning new material a breeze. The English accent is certainly a plus. I am happy to report that with Peter's help you can absolutely recover from a 39. If you're considering contacting Peter, don't think about it any longer, just do it.
- Amy T. from Jamison, PA
Doctor K. is an excellent instructor who genuinely cares about his students' performances. He has a very strong grasp of mathematics and is able to explain answers easily and eloquently. Furthermore, Doctor K. is able to provide a number of different approaches to the same problem and show certain tricks to tackle them which, (when comes to Ivy universities like Princeton) is much needed. He helped to improve my skills tremendously.
- Laura K. from Princeton, NJ
Dr. Peter K. Is able to tackle tough subjects with his students and make them very clear and manageable. He is an excellent tutor, very easy to learn from, and patient. He is able to get into the mind set of his students and teach them according to their knowledge levels, individual traits and abilities. I highly recommend Dr. Peter K. He has really been a huge help with calculus review, explaining problems carefully and with simple explanations.
- JB A. from Newtown, PA
Dr. Peter was very helpful and patient. He truly was a great tutor and gave me the push I needed. He worked through all of the problems with me that I wasn't sure how to complete, and most importantly, explained them very clearly. Dr. Peter reviewed all of the material I had forgotten, and in addition, taught me how to understand the concepts of Calculus and helped me make a connection between all of the units. Because of this, I felt very confident when taking an exam. I cannot thank him enough!
- Roseanne T. from Jamison, PA
I went to Dr. K for the GRE examination, and he really helped me to hone in on the concepts I needed in order to confidently take the exam. We started with the basic math skills, which was very helpful, and went on to go over each individual problem I completed in the ETS GRE workbook he recommended. His knowledge and effective teaching method allowed me to actually understand the problems and not simply memorize how to complete them. The skills I learned through my lessons with Dr. K allowed me to improve my percentile rank from when I took the exam with no studying. Additionally, I am planning on taking the exam once more to see if I can improve even more. I would highly recommend him as a tutor not only for the GREs, but for any math-related subject.
- Briana W. from Newtown, PA
As soon as I started summer six weeks calculus course I realized that I?m going to need outside help. Thanks to WyzAnt I found Dr Peter who helped me to catch up on the course material very fast. Dr. Peter explained to me concepts of calculus and helped me to connect them in my mind. We also reviewed some trigonometry that i have already forgotten. With his help, I got a B+ in a course and understood the material.
- Larysa M. from Feasterville Trevose, PA
I approached Dr. Kirby for tutoring in the Quantitative Reasoning portion of the revised GRE's. I had taken them early in the summer and had gotten scores that fell in the 69th percentile. I knew that I needed to get a higher score to make me more competitive for graduate programs. Dr. Kirby traveled to my house and provided excellent tutoring. He was kind, patient, and worked with me from an analytical standpoint. He taught me not only how to do solve the problems I was having a hard time with, but also excellent strategies on HOW to take the test. I recently got my scores back on my second attempt and they fell in the 82nd percentile. I am very happy with these results and strongly endorse Dr. Kirby as a tutor. Thank you!
