TESTIMONIALS

I’m doing well, just looking at your profile because I was asked why I picked electrical engineering, my decision which was nourished by your teaching and mindset about learning and using math to better the world. I think my path changed for the better because of your influence in both a spiritual and educational sense. I passed the Fundamentals of Engineering exam too.

R.P

Mr. Tarfa is nice to his students and treats them well I loved the class and who instructed it. I want to take his "class" counting to calculus in 30 days.

College Student

Listen to this instructor. He will break down a math problem in so many different ways till you understand how it is to be done.

College Student

Hi Mr Tarfa! You have always been a huge inspiration to me and much of my desire to learn and grow can be attributed to the classes I had with you. I would be honored to have you and Steph at my wedding in November. Keep inspiring people!

G.M

Not only does this instructor relate to me because we are close in age but this instructor provided multiple way to find answers every single time I had a question. I would love to take more classes with this instructor.
