About Peter
When choosing a tutor, most students and parents are primarily interested in:
1) Academic strength:
- I hold both Bachelors and Masters degrees in Mathematics
2) A tutor with the skill and adeptness to quickly put students at ease, resulting in effective learning almost immediately:
- I have decades of experience teaching and tutoring students at the high school, college, and older adult levels, as well as effectively teaching to a student’s individual learning needs.
- I ask students questions frequently to build their confidence and give them a feeling of engagement.
upon completion of Graduate School at the U of North Carolina, I started teaching at a public High School in the Boston area. For years, I knew I wanted to be a classroom teacher.

Always have a courteous and respectful manner. Quickly gauge the student's comfort level with the current subject material. During the tutoring, ask plenty of questions (even easy ones, if needed) to get the student engaged. Also give compliments whenever available to build confidence.
- high school and college age
- adults of all ages
- Students of very high intelligence (e.g. Advanced Placement Calculus in high school), students with very low math skills, and students of every knowledge level in between
- students with learning disabilities
- polite, pleasant, and respectful manner
- degree(s) in mathematics
- excellent communication skills
- 5-10 years experience teaching/tutoring math
- the ability to explain concepts clearly. Choosing the right steps and pacing, and sensing when the student understands or does not understand. Breaking a step into micro-steps if necessary.
Recently, I "instant-tutored" a woman taking college algebra after being out of school for a few years. After the session, she expressed the desire to continue our tutoring sessions.
Shortly thereafter, her husband asked for help with pre-calculus.
By the time we finished, I had tutored about ten 1.5 hour sessions. They were genuinely pleased, and very complimentary. Having both adults succeed was very satisfying for me.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
- do I prefer a man or woman tutor?
- age of the tutor?
- ability to speak clearly
- is there certain subject matter or types of concepts/problems with which I always have difficulty?
- when I ask tutors why they do tutoring, what answers am I looking for?

All the reviews collected from students are verified by our team. They are therefore reliable and correspond to a real experience with Peter.
Perfect! I am an adult learner. I did not go to good schools growing up. Peter proved that not only can I learn math, but anyone. He is patient, can tailor methods to what makes sense to you, and he is a genuinely caring person. He is the kind of teacher you wish all teachers were like. I highly recommend him.
Perfect! Peter is a very personable and caring tutor. He walked me through the concepts of calculus thoroughly and ensured that I understood each step, explaining in a simple and comprehensible way.
Perfect! Excellent tutor very knowledgeable. Takes time to make sure you fully understand the material. Received an A in AP Calculus
Perfect! Peter O'Neill tutored my daughter for AP calculus. She is an above average student that was having an extremely difficult time with this subject. Mr. O'Neill took the time to call me and ask me specific questions about my daughter and tried to pinpoint the areas of difficulty for her. He was always kind and considerate in his text and email correspondences. He prepared for tutoring sessions by requesting topics of interest/focus before the lesson to make the session productive and effective. My daughter's test scores and confidence have improved greatly. I would definitely recommend Peter for your child's math tutoring needs.
Perfect! Peter is great, and I recommend his tutoring services. He is interested in understanding and adapting to your student's learning style. He's been very helpful in working through some very complex math concepts, offering new problem-solving approaches.
Perfect! Great!
Perfect! He does demonstrate his knowledge in the subject and his classes are very didactic.
Perfect! Patient and kind. He works at your pace and strives to get the most out of every session. I would highly recommend him.
Perfect! My daughter is a senior in high school and was not too thrilled about the prospect of having a tutor – especially a virtual one. But she was really struggling in her pre-calculus class and was willing to give it a try. Peter made my daughter feel very comfortable right from the beginning. He was prepared for each session and walked her through the specific challenges of her current homework, quizzes and tests. Her grade and improved and most importantly, she was less anxious on a daily basis. In addition, peter is flexible on appointments times and more affordable than most tutors I received quotes from. I would definitely recommend him.

Peter is a great tutor
He was very patient with me and explained the topics in a way that made it seem so simple. He would also follow along with the school’s curriculum/schedule so he was always prepared for lessons.
5 stars!I liked working on the interactive whiteboard because we could go over problems in real-time.
Peter was great in helping me address weaknesses and turning them into strengths which helped me with practice problems
Peter was very helpful and explained everything very clearly and it was very easy for me to understand.
He helped me come to a good understanding of inequalities and he even noticed how tired I was and asked if I was ok.
I had a great session with Mr. Peter I was able to understand the concept and application of limits a lot better than before.
I was able to learn how to complete the square in a complex way. I feel confident now after clarifications!
Reinforces concepts; pleasure to work with.
Was very helpful and informative
Peter never fails to get me caught up and feeling good about the material. I strongly appreciate his patience and understanding.
This was my first time ever using Varsity Tutors, and I couldn't have asked for a better tutor. I had a complete understanding of each topic he helped me with and he made sure I knew what was going on. This was the best experience I could have had and Peter has made math fun for me again.
"Peter was extremely helpful and made me feel more confident in things I didn't understand before. He was very friendly and approachable which helped me feel more comfortable to ask questions."
This was my last session with Peter, and I have nothing but great words to say about Peter. He reciprocated the effort I put in and went above and beyond to help me by any means possible. Thank you so much Peter for all your help throughout the semester!
He was absolutely amazing!!! He was very patient and friendly and did not make me feel dumb at all! I would recommend him to anyone who needs help with math!
Peter was so helpful. He was engaging and really vouched for me to understand what we were doing.
Very clear. Explained concepts from a different approach making them easier to understand.
one of the best tutoring sessions I have ever had would recommend to anyone wanting help with math A+ from me
Very clear explanations! i really enjoyed how he actually asked me questions and let me explain steps in problems so to make sure i was understanding what he was saying.
