This letter is written on behalf of Chuck Koton, who I have know for seventeen years. Chuck has tutored three of my children, and in that capacity, I have had the chance to closely observe his work. He is intelligent, and knowledgeable in a number of subjects, including Spanish, History, English and the Humanities. Chuck has an engaging matter with his students, creating at atmosphere that enhances their desire and ability to learn. He helps them organize, teaches them to be independent thinkers, and gives them confidence in themselves. All of my children improved under his guidance, and indeed, they would have had a very difficult time in school without him. As a testimony to Chuck's skills and personality, they still keep in touch with him, even though they are now adults. In addition, I have referred many friends' children to Chuck for tutoring, and all of them have raved about his performance.

It gives me great pleasure to recommend Mr. Chuck Koton to you without hesitation or qualification. I have known Mr. Koton for many years and have had the opportunity to observe his work with students first hand. Mr. Koton has an extensive knowledge base and years of direct experience with students, which I know you expect of your faculty. Moreover, he possesses a kind and caring nature and inspires his students. I have referred many of my learning disabled students to Mr. Koton. In each instance he has helped them to achieve academic progress and has had a positive impact on their self esteem and life course. I have advised many of my medical students and child psychiatric fellows to refer their patients to him for these reasons. This is the best recommendation I can give any co-professional. If you wish further information please do not hesitate to contact me at the university.

I have had the privilege of knowing Chuck for over ten years. He is one of the most insightful, articulate, compassionate, engaging, and creative people I have ever met. Chuck tutored my son during this time period in a wide range of subjects including English, History, Spanish, and different Social Sciences. This tutoring relationship spanned 5th grade to his sophomore year of college. At each level, Chuck provided invaluable guidance and insight. He has the incredible ability to take a complicated concept and make it understandable and to discern the student’s level of knowledge and learning style so that he can make the lesson responsive to both. Mr. Koton is not only an outstanding teacher but he is also a Renaissance person and has a great sense of humor. He can translate the realities of every day life and the news headlines and show the connection between what a child is studying and these realities. Anyone who has contact with him feels enhanced by this experience.

Neighborhood gem available to tutor any History AP...I would like to recommend Chuck Koton as a tutor for your high schooler or middle schooler (any History, Span or Eng Lit classes). I was introduced to Chuck Koton by requesting a tutor specializing in AP US History on Nextdoor Mandeville. Given the new challenges students face because of COVID, help from an expert tutor can be invaluable. Thankfully, various members quickly responded and recommended Chuck. We couldn't be more pleased with his effective style of teaching. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable, he is engaged, kind and encouraging. Though Chuck used to provide in-home sessions before COVID-19, he is now available via Facetime or Zoom. You can contact him at (310) 567-2572.
