  "If we could give Lee 6 stars, we would do just that. Heck, we'd give him 10. He has worked with both of our children, who are VERY different types of learners, and helped them both tremendously. Lee guided one of our children to get to the A level, and he has also helped the other maintain A's as the math courses have gotten progressively more difficult. More importantly (to us) he has helped them both understand more about what they're doing and WHY they're doing it in the process. He's been available for weekly lessons as well as last second "emergency" help... we can't tell you how much of a value that has been. We have recommended and would continue to recommend him to anyone who wants to improve a grade as well as to anyone who just wants a better understanding of numbers, math, etc."

  "Initially I was skeptical about trying thumbtack so glad I did. Lee “Mathedmaven” is the absolute best! He accommodated my schedule and helped me with the exact area/problems of college Algebra I requested. He is extremely knowledgeable and the way he breaks down the problems and his explanations are priceless. He is the reason why I passed. He's patient and really knows how to get you involved in math. The price a little high but fair and well worth it. Easy payment process. Tutoring online extremely convenient. So if you're hesitant like I was just go for it you won't regret it. Thanks for making math so easy for me, Lee!"

  "The student needed short-term tutoring as exam prep. Lee was flexible and completely helpful, and although my daughter did not ultimately succeed in avoiding summer school (she was in too deep a hole), she learned a lot and neither she nor I (the parent) regrets investing in his assistance. We'd do it again."

  "Was very responsive to a short notice request for help. Provided solid support on a very difficult Pre Calculus topic. Followed up with an instructional video for further support. Very flexible to work with. Significantly reduced my daughters stress."

  "Mr Wells instantly put our daughter at ease with her AP PreCalc worries and calmed her general academic anxiety. She found it comfortable to work with him and easy to trust him. I hope he's still offering this service when our daughter is in college!"

  "Lee made learning fun for me, I am 55 years old and I never taken algebra so I have been struggling in my college math class. After one season I was confident that I knew how to solve some of the equations on my own. Thanks...so much"

  "MathEdMaven Tutoring is AMAZING! I've used him since he began 2 1/2 years ago, and have now hired him to teach me Calculus I, II, and III! He ALWAYS come prepared with problems and materials if given the material ahead of time, but is just as confident with doing math on the fly! The online platform makes it easy to work on the go. I can even review for a test during lunch at school! He has moved his schedule around on a moments notice to accommodate me. Thank you for all of your help!"

  "My son and I were looking for a tutor that could help him understand Calculus. Mr. Wells kindly offered to assess and identify my son's strengths and weaknesses. Afterwards, he gave excellent feedback on what areas he needed help on, along with notes on how he arrived at his conclusions. This was all done in a pleasant and friendly manner. We look forward to working with him in improving my son's grades."

  "Lee helped me over the summer with preparing for Precalculus and Trigonometry. He is extremely patient and emphasizes the fundamentals of problems rather than memorizing formulas. I am looking forward to continue tutoring throughout the year with Lee.

  "Lee is a wonderful tutor. We hired him to be our son's math tutor for a complete academic year. He makes sure he understands the concepts in math before simply memorizing how to execute a problem. My son thinks Lee is awesome and has helped him quite a bit. I highly recommend him!"

• Gail T.
  "Our son, a high school junior, was struggling to the point of despair in Pre-Calc with a confidence-undermining teacher. Mr. Wells was truly the antidote: patient, respectful, and passionate about making Math "taste good". He chatted with me (mom) before the first session, in order to find out the Math history of this student. My son feels better about Math now, and looks forward to more sessions with Lee Wells."

  "Lee helped me in taking Calculus 1 as a prerequisite prior to entering my Masters for Architecture. My background is in art and design and I had not done math in several years. We had a lot of breakthrough moments as well as some problems that simply stumped us.I would not have received the grade in my class without Lee and he helped me learn quickly while I was juggling many demanding things at once."

  "I am from Marietta GA, USA. I chose this person from ThumbStack purely thru search looking for math help to my daughter. She is in 11th grade.
  This person was very easy to deal with. He is very professional, easy to approach and teaching wise my daughter is very happy.
  The first class itself was more than fantastic. We recommend this person highly.

  "Very good no question is stupid, very patient and more importantly attach meaning, and show u as much as he is able, how the math can translate in your every day life which helps big time in retention."

  "Mr Wells has been tutoring my son who is homeschooled. He was able to make an hour of math fun, while teaching him important math concepts. Mr Wells also was great ay emailing us progress and explaining lesson plans and goals for our son"

  "Mr. Wells helped my 13-year old son with Algebra at the end of the year. He was available several times a week, often juggling his schedule around to meet our needs. Not only is he a nice guy, but he has great mastery of the material and can explain it in a way that makes sense. We will be continuing with Mr. Wells in the future, it is such a relief to have the help we need in such a flexible format. I wish we had found him earlier!"

  "Wells is a champ. I sought out help after enrolling in an online community college stats class. I started off good then the material got harder and I was pretty much stuck without a teacher. Well that is when I found Lee. He became my stats teacher. I use one note to screen capture my homework problems and he interacts with screen share through Skype. When my dad was in town he witnessed a lesson I had with him and was so impressed. Looking forward to working with Lee because I'm gearing up for calc and physics and nothing beats the convenience of online tutoring. the flexability and be able to be at home makes all the difference for me."

  "Mr. Wells is an outstanding tutor. I am a teacher tutor many students myself. Besides being highly expert in the field of mathematics, he is a human with a care for his students and a person who believes in helping students understand what they learn and how they learn. This sets him apart from the rest. Mr. Wells is worth every penny and then some. My children have learned so much and he has closed all the gaps in understanding. He has my highest recommendation."

  "Mr. Wells is a great tutor. He can tutor any subject/level in math and has a wide and extensive knowledge. He is extremely flexible with his hours and can find a slot of time that would work for you. He has many years of experience doing this kind of tutoring. He has over 350 thumbs up on InstaEdu, an online tutoring service, claiming that many people have used his services and have approved of them. He is a very kind a loving tutor. He wants to get to know your family, creating a more personal experience. He enjoys being around kids, for he kids of his own. Best of all, he can adjust and knows how to work one on one with his clients. He will make a worksheet, examples, or instructions on his own time to help and fit every one of his students. Not many tutors can adjust so much to fit their students. He always has a positive attitude. He is a very patient tutor, if something is not understood, he will keep on explaining in different methods until it is understood. You should give him a try, a couple classes, and I guarantee you that you will say you made the right choice."

  "Lee helped my son weekly with AP Calculus and AP Statistics online classes. My son self-studied but needed Lee to clear out some questions. Lee's knowledge was outstanding and his techniques worked very well. He was teaching him online with a whiteboard. Helped my son a lot .Lee was always very knowledgeable, prompt and available. He also helped when my son needed quick help. My son has an A now in AP Calculus and AP Statistics thanks to him.
