You've come to the right place!

Not only am I an expert mathematician (M.S. Math, Georgia Tech), but I relate to all skill-levels, and I adapt my style to each individual.

The motto "one size fits all" DOES NOT APPLY to learning. Each individual has a different learning style, and I accommodate each distinct learning process.

I present material so that you can understand it. I understand your thought-process and I can tailor explanations specifically for you.

I've tutored for subjects from basic arithmetic, to algebra, trig, calculus, and beyond.

Algebra 1

I have been the lead instructor for freshman algebra courses at several local colleges for over a year. I have tutored individuals on the subject for several years, and I have always received positive feedback. I find that algebra can be easily understood as long as it is explained in a way the individual can understand. When tutoring in one-on-one situations, I always strive to explain it in a way the student can grasp, and this always leads to positive results.

Algebra 2

I have been the lead instructor for freshman algebra courses at several local colleges for over a year. I have tutored individuals on the subject for several years, and I have always received positive feedback. I find that algebra can be easily understood as long as it is explained in a way the individual can understand. When tutoring in one-on-one situations, I always strive to explain it in a way the student can grasp, and this always leads to positive results.

Calculus

Calculus is the stepping stone to advanced mathematics, particularly real & complex analysis. As my expertise lies in real & functional analysis, I am well-trained in the use and study of calculus. I have successfully tutored students to help them "catch-up" if they have fallen behind; I have also successfully helped prepare students for AP tests in the subject. Whatever your calculus situation is, rest assured, I can help!

Geometry

I have taken undergraduate courses on college geometry, modern (abstract) geometry, and have studied geometry and topology at the graduate level as well.

Prealgebra

I have taught pre-algebra courses at the college level, and have also tutored individuals on the subject. The ages ranged from young middle-schoolers to high schoolers and beyond.

Precalculus

I have taught pre-calculus at the college level.

Trigonometry

I have taught pre-calculus at the college level, of which the majority of it is on trigonometry. I am an expert mathematician very familiar with the trig functions and both unit circle and right triangle approaches to trigonometry.

Astronomy

I have been an avid student of astronomical science since I was young, often reading popular books and textbooks on the subject. I have an advanced understanding of Einstein's theory of relativity, as well as quantum mechanics.

SAT Math

I am a standardized test-taking master, having consistently scored in the 90th percentile or above on the math portion of every standardized test I have taken (this includes the SAT, the ACT, and the general GRE). I can help you by sharing my techniques and strategies which will help you answer the questions quickly and more accurately. I offer intuitive and easy to grasp explanations which will help you have a better grasp of the material needed to succeed on the SAT.

Probability

I have taken undergraduate and graduate courses on classical probability. I have performed research on topics in graph theory, which is closely related to probability. I have also successfully tutored high-school students in elementary probability.

ACT Math

I am a standardized test-taking master, having consistently scored in the 90th percentile or above on the math portion of every standardized test I have taken (this includes the SAT, the ACT, and the general GRE). I can help you by sharing my techniques and strategies which will help you answer the questions quickly and more accurately. I offer intuitive and easy to grasp explanations which will help you have a better grasp of the material needed to succeed on the ACT.

Elementary Math

Though I am a Master of Science in Mathematics, I have the ability to relate to all skill levels, explaining the material in a way anyone can understand. I have had positive results tutoring elementary schoolers in basic arithmetic and remedial math. I make sure to never talk down to the student, knowing full well that they are doing their best to learn. I can provide a jump-start for bright students or a gentle encouragement for struggling ones. No matter what the situation is, I have the knowledge,... Read More

Discrete Math

Discrete math refers to mathematics that does not need to be analyzed with respect to a "continuous field". (By "continuous field" I am referring to a field in which there are no distinct "jumps" from one element to the next. The real numbers, for example, are continuous in that there is no single value that can fit between all real numbers. Any two integers, on the other hand, are at least one unit apart. Therefore, the integers are a natural tool of study in the field of discrete math.)

Logic

The study of mathematics is precluded by the need for an individual to understand the rules of formal logic. I have spent time reading textbooks on and researching set theory, of which formal logic is a significant part. I have also had coursework specifically on the subject. I am well-versed in formal logic with its rules and symbols, and my studies have effectively trained me to apply it in a non-symbolic way (as my specialization was not formal logic), due to the fact that any mathematical...
