Hello students!

I'm Drew. I know I can help you learning mathematics, chemistry, physics, and music.

I am a master's candidate in Mathematics, awaiting my comprehensive exams. I offer tutoring in all levels of middle school, high school, and lower division college mathematics, as well as high school and lower division college physics and chemistry. I also minored in music, and can tutor music theory, trombone, guitar and voice training. I use a variety of approaches, suiting the learning style and needs of each student. I take time to get to know the students I work with, using their outside interests and backgrounds as a means of relating to topical material.

I work interactively with my students. I am especially good at working with students who are dyslexic, as I am mildly dyslexic myself, and completely understand how a dyslexic person sees the world.

Specific mathematics subject areas: Algebra I and II, Pre-Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus including AP and multi-variable calculus, Infinite Series, Discrete Systems, Numerical Analysis, Probability, General Statistics including AP, and Linear Algebra.

Specific Music subject areas: Music Theory, Voice, Guitar, Trombone, Bass Trombone, Bass Guitar.

Specific Science subject areas: General Science, High School and Freshman College Chemistry, High School and Lower Division Physics, General Engineering, concepts in Civil and Mechanical Engineering.

If you live in East Contra Costa, Concord, Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek or Danville, I can tutor you. Please contact me for schedule openings.
