Testimonials

"Dr. Oberman taught my daughters math in 9th grade. He always had a way of teaching them in a way they understood and was so patient. He frequently gave them additional help outside of the classroom as well. A year later, learning a new math subject and with a different teacher, my daughters needed some extra support. Despite living in different cities and Dr. Oberman having a full time job in education, I asked him if he would tutor remotely. It was exactly what my girls needed to get them through an otherwise confusing time in math. He’s a rockstar math teacher, both in the classroom and as a one-on-one tutor. A grateful parent, Wendy"—Wendy, parent 

"I needed help with a specific section in my PreCalc class. Dr. Oberman was able to explain it in a way that was so easy to understand and I was doing problems on my own in no time! He was extremely patient and never got frustrated when I didn't understand the concept. 10/10 would recommend!!! (He also has a great sense of humor!)" — Noah, tutee

"Dr. Oberman was one of the best math teachers I’ve ever had. He is enthusiastic and passionate about the subject and encourages his students to reach their full potential. I highly recommend Dr. Oberman because he makes math enjoyable and accessible." — Amanda, student

"As a parent whose child had struggled with math, we were looking for a tutor who was patient, supportive and could explain how to problem solve in a few different ways until our son understood. Dr. Oberman hit all these criteria and more. Not only did my son start understanding the concepts, he became more engaged in math and sciences as his self-confidence skyrocketed. I highly recommend Dr. Oberman as a tutor. He also has a great sense of humor that helps create a comfortable learning experience. My son still reaches out to him on occasion with questions and to report his successes." — Neil, parent of tutee

“Dr. Oberman was my favorite math teacher in high school. He was my teacher in 9th grade for Geometry. I much preferred the humanity classes like English and History, so getting me excited about math and science was hard to do. Dr. Oberman really worked hard to give students a fun experience while learning. He made the time to help us understand the material by having one on ones with us individually or in groups. He would review material step by step and catered to our individual learning processes. I remember, after taking a quiz, I received the highest grade in the class with 100%. I was so excited, and proud of myself. I gained a lot of confidence in myself and in my math capabilities during that year. Dr. Oberman is one of those teachers who leaves a positive lasting impression.” — Emily, student

"I had the pleasure of having Dr. Oberman as my math teacher in high school. He was extremely attentive and made sure we understood what we were reviewing every time. Math was not the easiest subject for me, but I’m glad I had Dr. Oberman to help!"—Niv, student

"Dr. Oberman was my math teacher in high school for Geometry in 10th grade. However, I also visited his office during school lunch many times when I had other math teachers, seeking his help with the homework I had. I was medically diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD/ADD when I was very young, around the age of 10 or 11. I always found my strengths as an English/History student, rather than in math and sciences. Despite my challenges, Dr. Oberman assured me that I wasn't bad at math and that everyone learns concepts at a different pace. Dr. Oberman was patient and adjusted his teaching style to accommodate the way I learned. This involved us using analogies, imagining math problems in specific scenarios, and even incorporating hands-on learning that went beyond pen and paper. Even when I didn't understand which learning style or way of explanation that would be the best approach for the math topic I was studying, Dr. Oberman still managed to help me conceptually understand what I was learning, not just "retain the info." Now, I am in the workforce, working in consulting with a master's degree. I couldn't imagine taking math in High School without Dr. Oberman's support."—Kevin, student

"Dr. Oberman was my geometry teacher, which, by default, means he’s a man of great patience. He stayed the course and took additional time out of his day to teach me what at the time felt like impossible concepts. He gave me a vote of confidence that I could, in fact, succeed in not only geometry but in other areas I found difficult. Dr. Oberman pushed me to think critically, and it has served me greatly."—Maya, student

"I’m a person who generally dreads math class, and especially math homework. I always feel like I’m playing catch-up in math classes, understanding what’s going on only right before (or sometimes after) the exam. I came into Dr. Oberman’s geometry class without the requisite algebra background, yet because he is uniquely capable of teaching to all levels and learning styles, I not only didn’t dread, but very much enjoyed, math class that year. Dr. Oberman teaches math in such a way that the student understands not only how to solve the problem in front of them, but also how that problem relates to the real world and to a bigger picture in math, which makes the skills you learn with Dr. Oberman transferable to other classes as well. Dr. Oberman is extremely generous with his time and so patient, no matter how many times you ask him to explain the same thing or how frequently you bug him in a panic before an exam. Last but certainly not least, Dr. Oberman is hilarious and transforms topics that some find dry into enjoyable and interesting lessons with jokes, analogies, and wit. I wish I had the chance to develop the sorts of skills and confidence in all of my math classes that I did in geometry with Dr. Oberman. If you have the chance to learn from Dr. Oberman, take it!"— Maayan, student

"I had the pleasure to learn from Dr. Oberman when I was in high school in multiple informal learning environments. I was pretty good at math growing up but I wasn’t very skilled at applying that to real world scenarios. Dr. Oberman was always excellent at helping me do just that. He is an extremely clear and articulate thinker and is savvy at helping students reach their analytical potential without being imposing or harsh. Whether it was analyzing the strategy behind a tic-tac-toe board or reviewing the math behind regular, daily decisions, I’ve always felt encouraged by his guidance. Would definitely recommend for anyone aspiring to improve their analytical or mathematical lens!"—Josh, student

"As a parent, navigating the challenges brought about by the pandemic has been an immense task, particularly in ensuring that my child received the necessary education and support. With school closures and the transition to online learning, my child missed out on a considerable amount of foundational math insruction. This not only left them with academic gaps but also significantly affected their self-esteem when it came to math-related challenges. From our very first interaction, it was clear that Dr. Oberman was not only exceptionally knowledgeable in mathematics but also possessed the patience, enthusiasm, and teaching skills required to engage and motivate a young learner. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Oberman to any parent seeking math tutoring services." — Luci, parent

"I highly recommend Dr Oberman; he is an outstanding educator in every sense! He has worked with both of my teenagers and has been able to connect with them—even in the online setting—because he has a great sense of humor, is kind, and is sensitive to each of their individual needs. He really 'gets' kids! He also has a deep understanding of the math curriculum and so is able to approach sessions with a vision of what each kid needs both in short and long term, and always communicates thoroughly about each session. I am grateful that my kids have had the opportunity to work with him, and will continue to do so."— Jen, parent

“Amidst all the chaos of junior and senior years of high school, I was looking for an AP Calculus tutor and came across Mr. Wolmer online. Having always been advanced in math, I was searching for someone who could not only prepare and test me well for the AP exam but a person who knew the concepts deeply and explained them even better. I’ve tutored with a few people prior to Mr. Wolmer in math, but no one came close to his level of knowledge. With a wide smile and heart for learning, Mr. Wolmer would always ask: “What are we tackling today, Gracie?” Thanks to working with Mr. Wolmer, I received a 5 on my AP Calculus Exam, decided upon pursuing an architectural engineering minor, and hold an even greater passion for mathematics today.”—Grace, tutee 

"Mr. Wolmer is the best tutor my daughter has ever worked with. He is extremely knowledgeable in AP Calculus. His love of teaching shines through in every session. He is kind and very patient in his approach to tutoring. He made my daughter love calculus, and she did extremely well in the class."—Patricia, parent

"Allen Wolmer is pretty much the most effective tutor we have ever used for any of our kids. Not sure of his magic but he turned my daughter's C's into consistent A's within 2–3 sessions and she continues to have success leading into end of the school year. He is incredibly easy to work with in terms of coordinating times and is extremely patient and understanding with teens' ever changing schedules and needs. We can't stress enough what a success it has been having him in our tool box!"—Ashley, parent

"Mr. Wolmer tutored my daughter and her friend several times this school year for their 9th grade physics class. The girls had a wonderful experience and their grades greatly improved as a result. He was patient and thorough and explained the material extremely well. I highly recommend him as a tutor and will definitely use him again in the future!"—Jennifer, parent

To Marti Wayland: "My daughter really appreciated all the time you took with her and your vast knowledge and expert ability to explain easily very difficult concepts."  

To Marti Wayland: "I do need to take a moment and thank you for inspiring and instilling such tremendous confidence in my daughter in regards to her calculus. She would not be where she is today without you."
