"Don Ross tutored my son for the math SATs and raised his score 170 points! I would highly recommend him to anyone studying for the SAT test."

"I would highly recommend Don Ross as an SAT math tutor. My daughter worked with Don for five months and raised her SAT score 180 points from her PSAT score. What was so impressive about Don was that not only was he able to teach her strategies for taking the test but he also helped fill in any gaps she had in her math curriculum as a result of her switching schools."

"He is very patient, well prepared and works well with teens. Working with Don really increased my daughter's self confidence in her math abilities. I also appreciated the fact that he kept me informed of my daughter's progress."

"My daughter was at the end of her rope and hated everything to do with the subject of math. Since she began working with Don a year and a half ago, she has gained confidence and is becoming a solid math student; his work with her is nothing short of a miracle! In addition to helping her develop solid math skills, his patient manner always calms her down and allows her to work without frustration. We are blessed to have Don as Julia's tutor!"

"My daughter started working with Don to build her confidence and skills in her least favorite subject, which has been a struggle for her since elementary school. Don's low-key approach put her at ease so that she could concentrate on how to do her math, rather than on her anxiety about math. With Don's help during the beginning of the year, Emma was able to continue the rest of the year in regular 8th grade math with no tutoring. The end result is that she is relying on herself and taking pride in her math work. What more could a parent ask? We will not hesitate to ask for Don's help in the future if need be."

"Don is a fantastic teacher! My son Anthony has become so much more confident over the last two years and Don deserves all of the credit. His caring approach is just what Anthony needed to survive a very challenging math curriculum. My husband and I are very grateful that our son has Don as a resource. We have been extremely impressed with Anthony's progress and would highly recommend Don to anyone who is seeking a caring, knowledgeable tutor for his or her child."

"It has been a privilege to work with Don Ross for the past year. Don assessed my son's strengths and weaknesses and worked with him diligently. Consequently my son's grade in math has soared, to our delight. He has become confident and comfortable regardless of the topics that were presented and he has gained a true appreciation for math. Don's patience, calm manner and outstanding teaching skills make him an outstanding educator."

"My son has been tutored by Don Ross for the past three years - I don't think he would have progressed as smoothly if it wasn't for constant weekly tutoring. He has been able to maintain a B average, which is quite good for him. Mr. Ross tutored my son for the Math SAT for 5 months and raised his Math SAT score 150 points from his Math PSAT score. If your child needs one-to-one SAT tutoring, I highly recommend him.

Don is a very special person, taking his role seriously, constantly keeping me in the loop. His style is terrific with teenagers, patient and thoughtful. My daughter is now entering Rye High School and we have already started her turtoring with Don. I always recommend him when asked."

    All the best,

It is a pleasure to recommend Don Ross as a math tutor. Over the last two years, Don has worked with David, with exceptional results. David has improved his grade point average, his understanding, and attitude towards math. Don has both inspired and encouraged David to study and be enthusiastic about his work. Don has patience, perseverance and is totally reliable. David has enjoyed working with him and even calls Don during the week, when he has questions regarding his schoolwork. We plan to continue working with Don and feel confident that he will help David prepare for his SAT's. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

"I highly recommend Don Ross for his depth of knowledge in the area of math, his teaching techniques, and his demeanor as a person. We were concerned with our son's lack of interest in his studies and the impact this would have on his future achievement, especially in math where a strong base is needed. Don was able to engage our son in discussing the concepts, clarify challenging material and motivate him to focus more on his studies and achieve a full grade point improvement in math."

"My son, Reid, has always found Math a challenge. To provide additional assistance, we engaged Don Ross, a former stand-out teacher at Rye, to help unlock the mysteries of 10th grade math. With Don's patient tutoring, and his knowledge of the Rye curriculum, Reid not only made strides in this subject, but even began to overcome a long-held fear of the subject. In addition, Reid bonded with Don on a personal level (an important matter with a personal tutor!!), and still speaks fondly of their times together. Oh yes, Reid managed to parlay this assistance into a respectable SAT score in Math! Thanks, Don."

"Mr. Ross replaced my son's math teacher at Rye City Schools. Mr. Ross introduced a fresh way of looking at the problems and logical, understandable explanations. He had a caring and compassionate manner and obviously enjoyed working with teenagers. Ryan experienced a turnaround in his grades and his enthusiasm for class so we decided to hire Mr. Ross as his math tutor the following year. Again, he was very patient and understanding and had a way of explaining the math concepts so that Ryan fully understood them. He was very thorough, going over homework, studying for tests and then reviewing each test afterward. Ryan got a good grade in math that year, looked forward to his tutoring sessions, and, most of all, grew to like and understand math, which is a lifelong asset. Ryan and I would unequivocally recommend Mr. Ross as a tutor for any students who need help with math."

"Don Ross was my son's teacher and then tutor. He is kind and responsible and filled in gaps and clarified concepts which helped my son move on to the honors level in math."

My son was an average math student in the 7th grade. He said he didn't really like math. A friend of mine recommended Don Ross for tutoring. As a result of the tutoring my son received, math became his favorite subject. He just graduated from Rye High School with math scores in the 90's. I would highly recommend Don Ross to tutor your child.
