“Mr. Porter is completely reliable, trustworthy, patient and communicates
in a style that is respectful of the student. He tutored my daughter for
a year in Chemistry and Advanced Algebra. During that time she progressed
at least two grade levels and had dramatically improved her understanding
and self-confidence in mastering these two subjects”
–Parent

The tutoring clarified the concepts. You are easy to work with, can explain
problems in multiple different ways, and helped to boost my confidence.”

“You teach good problem solving skills, i.e. you write down all
the steps!”
