He is prompt, consistent, patient and effective in preparation for exams. My son felt more confident for his exams and made straight As throughout the 2 years he worked with Ray.

Ray was instrumental in setting our son up for success in math and science. He brought just the right level of practicality, applications, and rigor to help our son through the most difficult concepts. Importantly, not only is Ray an effective teacher, but he is warm, funny, patient and great with kids.
Ray Dykeman is an amazing math and science tutor. Our son, who has severe ADHD, was struggling in Algebra 2. Beyond the fact that he typically rushed and didnt show his work, neither his teacher nor his prior tutor could figure out what our son fundamentally didnt understand or why he was failing.
We found Ray from a friend whose son had successfully overcome a similar problem. Ray met with our son, explored with him what he knew how to do and what he did or didnt understand about the underlying principles. After working with our son for one semester, Ray helped him bring up his grade from an F to an A. Needless to say, our sons morale, and importantly, his interest in math and willingness to focus on the details improved too.
Ray tutored our son over the summer to cover the entire trigonometry curriculum, and this allowed him to catch up with his class and enroll in pre-calculus in the next school year. Ray continued to work with our son, who remarked that Ray didnt just show him how to solve math problems, but also showed him why the different methods and procedures worked. This set him up to be able to independently tackle new areas and kinds of problems beyond what had been taught.
Ray also tutored our son from time to time in Chemistry and then Physics. Under Rays guidance, our son earned a 34 on the math section of the ACT and a 33 on the science section. Our son is now signed up for AP Calculus and is planning to major in physics or computer engineering when he graduates from high school.

Ray is a wonderful science and math tutor! My son, a student at Whitman, has learned so much from him. The addition attention after school hours for these advanced subjects has been invaluable. We can't thank you enough!

My daughter and my son have both worked with Ray Dykeman for many years and have benefited enormously from his love for teaching and from receiving from him a real education, much more than what is required by any curriculum.
He loves to educate and is passionate about sharing his knowledge. He is also very empathetic with his students and has a wonderful sense of humor; which helps to engage students in what he has to teach.
He worked with my children n all levels of math, from elementary school to Calculus, as well as Biology and Chemistry.
He is very familiar with all Montgomery County curriculums and textbooks.
Ray Dykeman is an exceptionally knowledgeable, skilled scientist, inventor and a tutor's tutor.
