'There are few teachers who can match Gary's skill in making mathematics both comprehensible and enjoyable'

"Gary King's track record in enabling students to surpass their expectations on the SAT I and the math SAT II is legendary. There are few who can match his teaching genius'.


Mr. David Morss, Dean of Students, Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School, New York.

‘Gary King is a teacher and tutor of mathematics who has extraordinary talent. He teaches his students by immersion; not by lecture but by subtly guiding their every move as they gather the skills and confidence to work effectively and confidently by themselves.’


Mr. James McHugh, formerly Academic Dean, International Baccalaureate Programme Coordinator and Head of the English Faculty, The Anglo-American International School, New York. Director of College Counseling, Marymount School, New York

From Parents and Students:

Just wanted to let you know Lucy scored 800 on her Math II subject test. Congratulations to you both, and our thanks to you! (Michael, Linda, and Lucy (senior at Trinity))

Gary King provided my son with expert math tuition and SAT preparation throughout his high school years. His careful and sustained attention to my son’s particular learning needs allowed John to gradually acquire the skills and confidence that ultimately led to his success as a math student. (Roberta Prada)

‘Mr. King gave me the confidence to become successful at algebra – something I never thought I would be able to do.’ (Ellen, 10th grade)

‘Gary King was instrumental in getting my son from a 650 to a score of 790 on the SAT math – Dan is now at Princeton!’ (Parent of Princeton student)

‘Shelley scored a disastrous 280 on the SAT math. After a few months with Gary King as her tutor she scored a respectable 590 – a score that we never thought could be possible.’ (Parent of 12th grade student)

‘Mr. King encouraged me do the work I used to dread and with his expert guidance I learned how to do geometric proofs – he told me that each proof tells a story and if I was really interested in how the story turned out then I would have to be able to get to the end of the story by myself –with his help I did just that!’ (Michael, 10th grade)

‘I’ve always been lousy at essays and when the timed-essay writing became part of the SAT I thought that I’d never be able to produce anything worthwhile. Well, I was wrong. Mr. King gave me the confidence and the ability to write interesting and focused essays – I can now help other students do the same.’ (Anna, 12th grade)

‘AP Calculus was a nightmare until my parents agreed to hire Mr. King as my tutor. The nightmare was soon over and I learned how to think and write logically in what I have come to realise is a beautiful academic discipline. (Brad, 12th grade)

‘I really struggled with Trig. There just seemed to be so many rules and formulas. Mr. King showed me a few simple ways to remember the rules and how to apply them. (Tanya, 11th grade)

‘My son was always good at math but not so good at math tests. We really thought that this would prevent his being able to get into the school of his choice. We hired Mr. King and were absolutely delighted when Stephen got accepted to Stuyvesant.’ (Parent of 9th grade student at Stuyvesant High School)
