Andrew here! My tutoring experience began back in high school, where I had the privilege of being a peer group tutor for students in my high school's AVID program for two years. In the classroom, I worked directly with students in small groups of 4-5 at a time on Algebra I, II, and geometry. I observed how grateful the...See Andrew's full profile

I work with my students through Math Competition Program (MCP). The goal of MCP is to give all students a solid foundation in competition mathematics. To successfully accomplish this, I build upon topics gradually and thoroughly - rather than providing a quick fix for problems and gaps. Every new idea and block of...See Oleg's full profile

I have tutored in all elementary, junior...See Jahi's full profile

There is no one way to learn. Rote memorization is at one end of the spectrum and instantaneous complete understanding and insight of the topic is at the other end. There is a lot in between. People do not learn everything the same way - their own ability to learn changes from moment to moment and subject to subject....See Theodore's full profile

The material used in Precalculus classes is essential math for more advanced topics like Calculus or Probability theory or Complex analysis, Linear Algebra or even Differential Geometry, etc. (it follows Algebra 1 and 2). Naturally it is impossible to avoid being good at the relevant syllabus if you hope to learn...See Sotirios's full profile

What we do here usually falls into two categories: 1. Solve past problems, looking for approaches, patterns, and strategy. 2. Help with courses and problems taken at places like AoPS, RSM, or AlphaStar. These places have great material, but often move too fast for many students. A little help can go a long way....See Zachi's full profile

Precalculus is the gateway to calculus. Function manipulation, using graphing software or calculators, polynomials with complex numbers, exponential and natural log functions, trigonometric functions, parametric equations, and matrices and systems of equations are involved subject matter, and can easily be...See Trevor's full profile

Much of my work with precalculus students has consisted of a thorough review of trigonometry, finite and infinite series and sequences, and analytic geometry. My approach is always to be sure that the basics are mastered before attempting more advanced topics (e.g., students need to have mastered the graphical...See Jeffrey's full profile

Tutoring is an act of observation. It succeeds where normal instruction fails because it is geared toward a student's particular strengths. My best experiences as a tutor have been with the students who needed me most, learning how they needed to learn. I have been a tutor in one setting or another since childhood....See Francesca's full profile
