Teacher Tony the Tutor is Terrific! No really we have absolutely been nothing but thrilled with working with him for our son with autism. He plans fantastic lessons and is so patient with our kiddo. We have really appreciated how hard he has worked to help our boy and he has been successful at everything he has worked with us to do. Hire him you will not regret it!

Hille & Co. Vitality & Wellness

Tony was the first teacher to ‘get’ how my daughter learned! He changed her view of her abilities. He was there for her in so many ways and we are forever thankful.

Edwin Schiller

I worked with Tony and highly recommend him. Thanks to him, I made great strides in my SAT test preparation and was able to improve significantly.

Courteney Hall

So happy to find Tony! He listened to me on what I needed for my son. He developed a great plan and adapts it each week. He is helping my 14 year-old son soooo much! My son has asd and adhd. So glad to have found someone that is experienced with the way his brain works to help him succeed. I wish I could give 10 stars!

Amy Rivera

We love Teacher Tony. He has so much information to share, he can help with any situation. Tony one of the smartest teachers I have ever met, but still so kind and supportive and encouraging. He helped my son overcome some difficulties, and I am forever grateful to him. I always recommend him, he will always have an amazing suggestion!

Alecia Tumminaro

We have really enjoyed Teacher Tony and his teaching/tutoring classes. Our daughter has learned a lot of different life-skills and it’s always a delight to see her brain at work, paying attention to details, and to be more active with school along with chores. He has always made learning fun and enjoyable, which can be a difficult thing to find virtually!!!! We always recommend Tony to our friends and family members with children and teens. He is our daughter’s favorite teacher (her words) and she always looks forward to her classes!

C Nusky

Tony is an excellent teacher. He specifically tailored the lessons to our daughter and during the lesson adapted to her needs. He definitely cares about his students and goes above and beyond to help them.

Michelle Swicheniuk

Tony has worked with our son who is on the spectrum for quite some time now. His training in working with neurodivergent children has really helped our son understand the concepts of math in a way we never thought he could. Thoroughly recommended!

Maryanne Rhea

Tony with The Atypical Mind has been an invaluable part of our team for the past year. We are a homeschooling neurodivergent family. Tony has helped so much with all of the many challenges that have come along with these circumstances, from learning delays to severe anxiety and the constant shifting that comes with growing up. Every day is a different set of challenges with energy, emotions, and ability to focus. Tony does an exceptional job of working through the challenges and providing the encouragement and motivation needed for my daughter and myself to keep moving forward with our learning goals. Tony has provided us with so much support and added stability in a world where it’s hard to find professional caring help. I had hoped to get my daughter help with reading, spelling, and math, but we have gotten so much more than that. I can’t recommend The Atypical Mind enough!

Meka B.

Highly recommend The Atypical mind. Anthony has been absolute lifesaver for my two children in math and Language Arts. His patient, engaging teaching style has helped my children to better comprehend what they are learning and retain the information. We saw noticeable improvement in both reading comprehension and math problem-solving. Anthony has been a huge help with my child, who has ADHD/ADD. My child was really struggling to stay focused and organized in both math, Language Arts and reading. The tutoring sessions have provided the extra help my home schooled children needed. Thank you so much for supporting our children's education. Highly recommend J. B.

Aaron Young

Tony has helped our special needs son with his math, social behavior and exploring his special interest. What I like about Tony as a tutor is how patient and flexible he is with our son. You can tell he genuinely cares about meeting his students needs and helping them to thrive!

Kaitlyn Patterson

Tony has tutored my two boys who both have dyslexia for a few years now and I couldn't be happier. He has helped them to progress sooo much. They look forward to class with him each week. And his rates are very reasonable too. Highly recommend!! 💯

N J

Teacher Tony is the best teacher you could ever have for your child or student!! He is knowledgeable, kind, patient, prompt and personable. He has helped our children catch up and jump ahead several grades with his consistency and skill. The recommendation is that you book Teacher Tony while he has availability. Thank you Tony for helping our family on our learning journey!
