SFTutors

Ender is very talented in his teaching. My daughter was struggling with one of the Calculus concept for a whole week and with one lesson, there is an "A Ha!" moment with Ender's explanation. He is a little expensive but you get what you pay for. I rather spend the money than paying less but wasting my daughter's time to spend an hour and not learning more. Ender is also very caring and supportive, It is comforting to have him as a part of my daughter's education. more

We have used SF Tutors both to help our daughters in challenging subjects at school and to prepare for the SAT and have been extremely happy with the quality of the instruction and the results. The kids actually enjoy going to tutoring and are happy with the individual attention and with how it helps them in class. I like being able to get really reliable knowledgeable help exactly when we need it. And, our oldest daughter did very well on the SAT and next year her sister will take the SF Tutors course. more

After one session, it was fortunate that my son went to a better service.? Cons: confused my son more

It is amazing how important math is in business. From statistics to algerbra and everything else, being strong with math skills will make your life more rewarding in so many ways. Pros: If you want to succeed in life, strong math skills are key Cons: there is no con to being smart more

Before meeting Ender, I had completely given up on math after a few attempts with different tutors. Meeting Ender was such a blessing. He knew how to explain the subject in even the most simple way and was completely willing and ready to explain it 3 or 4 times if he had to. His 100% friendly personality always made me feel comfortable admitting that I didn't understand something or asking what I thought might be a ""stupid"" question. Before working with Ender I never expected to get a grade I would be happy with on my math tests or in class. Now and ever since however, I am confident in my math skills and expect only the best grades. His intelligence shows from his ability to switch from topic to topic, level to level in seconds. His range of knowledge is incredible. If you were to put a random math question in front of him at any level, I am sure he would be able to reach inside his mind to solve the problem and break it down however necessary for his student to understand. more

Ender Markal has a gentle, yet extremely effective approach. My daughter was really struggling with Algebra and was not at all keen on working with a tutor. After just a few visits her grades improved and so did her attitude! Now she won't go anywhere else! Pros: See the confidence re-emerge in your childs eyes Cons: Summer vacation :( more

We were recommended to Ender at SF Tutors by a friend who was already getting awesome results. Our son needed an extra boost in math and we are getting SO much more from SF Tutors.\r \r Ender is far and away the best tutor we have ever met. His way of teaching math skills is very effective. Our son has not only improved his grades in math but more importantly enjoys math and feels a real sense of accomplishment. Pros: Excellent skills with kids more

Ender at SFtutors was my math tutor for the math portion of the SAT reasoning test this year. As opposed to other SAT preparation programs which just repeated give you timed tests to practice with, Ender broke down the math section into pieces according to my personal needs in a 7 week process. Given that everyone has different academic strengths and weaknesses, a generic SAT class is sometimes not helpful in aiding what certain students need help with. However, at SFtutors, I was in a class with 6 students which made it easy to focus on each one of us individually. The class provided us with a binder full of useful SAT tips, vocabulary words, practice exams, and worksheets from various SAT prep books. On top of this, both tutors, Lauren and Ender, were very approachable and understanding. Each of them made sure that we understood what was going on in the class, and worked with us separately if we were confused. Overall SFtutors was a great investment. Although the work they gave us was strenuous at times, the class was very effective in familiarizing me with the structure of the SAT. I would even say that I had a good time while I was there. I would recommend it to any student in search of a SAT class that isn't going to overload you with practice tests and will raise your score. In the end, I ended up getting a 720 on the math portion, which is a great improvement. Thanks Ender! Pros: Best Hands-on SAT Tutor more

SAT mathematic questions are unique to SAT tests only. The types of questions found on those exams are not something anybody has ever seen before, and can be really tricky. I personally have always been very good at math, getting strait A's even in honors classes. Nonetheless, I find some of the problems on the SAT ridiculous and tricky. SF Tutors has studied these questions, and knows the solutions and methods to solving these strange problems. They put them in simpler terms, and makes solving them easy and fast. Likewise, their verbal teachers provide excellent strategies for every type of question you come across as well as reading and writing. Their employees are some of the nicest people I have ever met, and I had tremendous success with SF tutors, and HIGHLY recommend them. Pros: Makes tricky SAT questions easy Cons: none more

My son was struggling with math at his junior high school and needed additional help. I found Ender thru the internet and since he is also a CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst), his math skills must be top notch in order to pass that exam. With Ender's knowledge and patience, my son's grades improved. I highly recommend Ender.\r \r Kevin C. more

We were so lucky to find Ender. He is extremely sharp and really knows how to get the kids to understand some difficult math. I used him for both my sons in prep for the SAT's. They both did exremely well due to his expert help. He is very accommodating and adjusts his schedule to fit the student's. He is professional, kind, patient and a true genius in his field. I have referred him to many of my friends and they have all be equally impressed. I highly recommend Ender. You will find no one better out there! Pros: Brilliant, patient, kind, a true genius. Cons: Absolutely none. more

Ender was an excellent math tutor this year for my son. more

Math has never been one of my strong subjects, but Ender Markal has helped me reach a new level of confidence in the past year and a half that I have known him. Ender has tutored me through Precalculus and AP Calculus and I don't know what I would've done without him! I often feel lost and confused before going to Ender for help, but always come out of the session feeling reassured and much more confident in my math skills. I've never found a problem that Ender can't figure out and then explain to me in a simple way. Although I may not understand the explanation the first time around, he never stops trying to explain his methods until I understand and can repeat the process myself. Ender is extremely patient and cares about the well-being of his students, always following up on test results and homework assignments, not to mention a genius! In addition, he is very flexible with lesson times and always tries to accommodate his students' needs. I would recommend Ender to anyone who struggles with math and needs a kind, calm, and hard-working tutor to help them out. more

Ender Markal is the best math tutor I have ever found. He truly makes the material understandable and is very specific in what he teaches. He helped me get through AP calculus as a junior in high school. I was struggling a lot with the class; however, after going to a few sessions with him, I noticed a huge difference in my understanding of the material. He gets his students on the right track for whatever goals they want to achieve and he is very knowledgeable. I would recommend him as a tutor to any student in any level of math. more

Ender Markal is an exceptional tutor! He is smart, soft spoken, and puts his students immediately at ease. My daughter, an eighth grader, has been through several other tutoring programs that proved not only expensive but utterly ineffective for her. When we found SF Tutors and met Ender we felt our luck had changed. Ender really has a knack for explaining algebraic concepts and possesses an exceptional talent at reaching through to his students. My daughter looks forward to her tutoring sessions and is excited about a subject that used to make her anxious and frustrated. Needless to say, she?s raised her math grades considerably and the confidence she?s gained has been invaluable to her as she gets ready for high school. We whole-heartedly recommend Ender Markal and SF Tutors. \r \r \r \r \r \r \r \r more

As a parent of a high school student who's never enjoyed or felt confident in a math class, I highly recommend Ender Markal. He not only knows how to convey complicated math concepts in a way that his students can understand, but he relates so well to teenagers that they actually enjoy and seek out his tutoring. My son enjoyed his sessions with Ender, sharing with me that he could learn from Ender in one session an entire weeks worth of Trigonometry. Perhaps even more importantly, Ender helped build my son's confidence in his math abilities. more

Ender helped me a lot with learning to solve math problems quickly in preparation for the SATs. He taught me in a small group (3 other students), where he started by giving us timed practice tests and then working with each of us at our own levels. I definitely improved my problem solving skills by learning how to properly evaluate problems in very little time. It was worthwhile, and I would highly recommend SF Tutors. more

Ender Markal is an excellent tutor. He helped both my children in highschool math. First my son and then my daughter. He was very skillfull in explaining exactly what was needed and necessary to help them fully understand the situation. My daughter now has a very good grade in math due to his help. I highly recommend Ender. more

Ender Markal was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is smart, friendly, accommodating, and most importantly, very good at conveying difficult concepts to his students. I stumbled across Ender while looking for help with my Corporate Finance class. Five years removed from undergrad, I was in need of assistance to help brush off the rust for my MBA. Ender was great. He was always on top of the material, and made it seem much less intimidating to me than when I was in the classroom at school. I highly recommend Ender to anyone looking for help with school work of any kind, at any level. Pros: Great tutor, accommodating schedule, nice guy, good working environment Cons: parking is tough towards the end of the day more
