About Barton

Bio

I’ve been a professional tutor for more than 15 years, and my passion for teaching began long before that. I hold a B.S. in Pure and Applied Mathematics from the University of Arkansas, and I attended the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences, and the Arts (ASMSA)—a two-year residential program offering college-level coursework. The professors’ enthusiasm for teaching and the uniquely challenging classes I experienced there inspired me to pursue tutoring.

I’ve been a professional tutor for more than 15 years, and my passion for teaching began long before that. I hold a B.S. in Pure and Applied Mathematics from the University of Arkansas, and I attended the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences, and the Arts (ASMSA)—a two-year residential program offering college-level coursework. The professors’ enthusiasm for teaching and the uniquely challenging classes I experienced there inspired me to pursue tutoring.

As I advanced in my math studies, I realized that truly mastering the subject meant strengthening the fundamentals—and teaching others became the perfect way to do that. Over the years, tutoring has become far more than practice; it’s become something I genuinely love. I get to share a subject that has shaped my life while watching students experience those moments when concepts click and math reveals its beauty.

I’ve worked with over 1,000 students across a wide range of subjects, from pre-algebra to advanced college courses like differential equations, real analysis, and complex analysis. I’ve fully taught and designed complete curricula for homeschooled students, guided master’s students through their thesis work, and coached competitors preparing for AMC mathematics competitions. Whether a student is building foundational skills or tackling highly technical material, I tailor my approach to meet their exact needs. My top goal is always to help students look forward to our sessions—even if they don’t always look forward to the class or the homework. If I can make math feel a little more approachable, a little less intimidating, and maybe even enjoyable, then I’ve succeeded.

Very Knowledgeable

My son felt Barton was very helpful in helping him prepare for his algebra test. He answered all of his questions and made Algebra make more sense to him. Will definitely use him in the future.

Regina, 4 lessons with Barton

Great ways of explaining difficult concepts!

Barton took a lot of time to go through each problem with my daughter breaking them down step by step to make sure she understood. He was very patient and knowledgeable.

Tutor responded:

Thanks so much for the feedback Allyson! It was a pleasure working with your daughter. She clearly works hard and respects the material. That's what really motivates me to teach math!

Above & Beyond!

This was my second time meeting with Barton. He is my first online tutor that I've ever used as I had trouble learning precalculus during this pandemic. Each time he has went above and beyond to help answer all of my questions. He truly wants to make sure that you understand the material. The way he breaks down pre calculus in an easier way is unmatched. I'm so happy that I found a great tutor online who is really knowledgeable. He is my go to now!

Tekuam, 3 lessons with Barton

Gave my son an instant boost to his motivation!

I highly recommend! My son has been struggling for sometime on comprehension. He has the ability, but has not had it explained to him in a way that he understood it. I highly recommend him! We will keep scheduling sessions!
