I am very happy with our experience so far with 51Թ. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Raymond

Certified Tutor

Hi, my name is Ray Ostfeld and I have been teaching mathematics for 19 years. I came to teaching as a career change after working as an actuary for many years and then taking off about 8 years to be a stay at home father. For those of you who have never heard of an actuary, an actuary is a person who financial mathematics and probability and statistics to price and monitor insurance products such as car insurance, life insurance, and pensions.

I have enjoyed many years teaching algebra and geometry in both regular and alternative settings. I have helped many struggling students become successful. My students build stronger math skills and they develop the confidence necessary for greater math achievement.

I love teaching math and I particularly enjoy helping students one-on-one to solve math problems. I promise to do my best to find a way or an approach to help you succeed.
