  • A few weeks before test-date, our son started to protest, impolitely, that he was too anxious and exhausted to keep trying to build these skills. But Quinn stayed in the game with him, and with us, and our son met testing day with practice scores well exceeding what we thought was possible three months before. We feel very grateful for the work with him.

  • If you want your child to be prepped by a brilliant tutor who has a solid value system and actually cares about your child as a whole person, then call Quinn. If you want highly focused periods of mental expansion and keen development of your child’s ability to analyze, think, and approach intimidating test questions with confidence, then also call Quinn.

    Janice

  • I am a NYCDOE mentor for new teachers. Having worked with countless new teachers over the decades, I can say with complete confidence that Mr. Mierlak is a natural born teacher. Mr. Mierlak is one of those teachers for whom children will happily go that extra mile…

    Paul

  • Quinn is a marvel. We hired him to help our son prepare for the math section of the NYC SHSAT but got so much more. Not only did he offer expert tutoring specific for this test, he discerned patterns of error, and guided our son to better strategies for problem-solving (including how to approach and figure out the stages implicit in the problem itself).

    Elizabeth

  • Quinn is also very accommodating if a scheduled online session needs to be moved to another day of the week because of a scheduled continuous assessment exam. His billing emails are clear, concise, and correct. He has given us time credits if there was an IT issue and a remote session did not happen as scheduled.

    Kathryn

  • I was also highly impressed with Mr. Mierlak’s calm demeanor and easy sense of humor. He built a rapport with my child, which went a long way toward motivation. The time my child spent with Mr. Mierlak, was indeed a very worthwhile investment. I would highly recommend his test prep services.

    Paul

  • Quinn is not only an excellent math tutor, but he also serves as a positive role model for our daughter. He has instilled in her the values of hard work, perseverance, and a growth mindset. Our daughter has learned the importance of setting goals, staying organized, and taking responsibility for her learning

    Peter

  • One of the most important things Quinn achieved was he gave my daughter a mind set, so that well before test day, she had already won the mental game that is a major part of this test. By paying attention to her emotional tolerances, Quinn got amazing work and effort out of my daughter, and he greatly improved her mental stamina. He was very mindful of her stress levels, which can be high.

    Janice

  • Our son noted right away that he could follow Quinn’s explanations better and longer than what he got in math class. But as the work got harder and test-date approached, we saw that Quinn’s math skills were matched by his remarkable perceptiveness, empathy, and interpersonal imaginativeness. As our son put it, “he understood my way of thinking at a level that no one else has.”

    Arthur

  • We are very glad to have Quinn as a strong and contributing academic member in our daughter’s village of support. He has a “growth mindset” and a “can-do” attitude which lifts our daughter to do her best in math and when she garners top marks on a test… he say I’m not surprised I knew you could do it!

    Janice

  • Mr. Mierlak has completely dismantled the SHSAT. His approach is strategic and specific… Using his analysis of the test, and his understanding of my child’s unique processing style, Mr. Mierlak designed problem solving techniques that were tailor-made for my child.

About Me

Born in Brooklyn, NY, I attended Mark Twain I.S.239 middle school and Brooklyn Technical High School. In high school, I finished my senior year with a 106 GPA and maintained a 99.3 GPA overall. I achieved a 1540 SAT (super score), with a 780 on the Math and a 760 on the English.

I've recently graduated the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a 3.8 and a B.S. in Computer Science, and a certificate in Graphic Design.

When I’m not tutoring, I enjoy playing chess, guitar, meditating or training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

My Mission and Values

My Mission and Values

My mission is to provide high-quality tutoring that instills confidence and nurtures a passion for learning. I take an empathy-centered approach, adapting my teaching to meet the unique needs of each child. By creating a safe and inclusive environment, I encourage students to embrace mistakes as part of the learning process, making our sessions a journey of facilitated discovery. I believe deep understanding outweighs memorization, so I focus on building knowledge from the ground up.

Transparency and communication are core values of mine. I offer regular progress reports and summaries that provide you with clear insights into your child’s learning, achievements, and any challenges they may face. Feedback is gentle, yet timely, so you can stay informed and make the best decisions for your child’s growth. Tutoring is dynamic and evolves with your child’s changing needs, ensuring they receive support that is both relevant and impactful.
