About Ronald


Bio

Hi! I go by my middle name of Karl. I graduated from the United States Naval Academy and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Ocean Engineering. I went on to serve in the U.S. Navy as a helicopter pilot.
My favorite subject is Math. I played baseball growing up, and I learned fractions and decimals by figuring out my batting average after each game during the season. But it was my 10th grade Geometry teacher who made math really fun. I've enjoyed it ever since.

Hi! I go by my middle name of Karl. I graduated from the United States Naval Academy and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Ocean Engineering. I went on to serve in the U.S. Navy as a helicopter pilot.
My favorite subject is Math. I played baseball growing up, and I learned fractions and decimals by figuring out my batting average after each game during the season. But it was my 10th grade Geometry teacher who made math really fun. I've enjoyed it ever since.
My main focus is junior high math, Algebra, and Geometry. I’m happy to work with the student’s lesson plan or create one on my own. It doesn’t matter.
I am also certified to in ACT Prep for high school students. My preference is one on one in person tutoring and I can work in small groups up to five as well.
My life experiences enable me to share real world examples to help students understand why the material is important. I've found out that once they open their minds to that, they are more willing to learn.
I have covered junior high and high school math classes as a substitute for the last four years. Nothing is more satisfying to me than to see the light bulb come on in a student’s head once they understand a concept. My goal is to be the best resource to my students as possible. Please reach out to me if you have any questions and would like to schedule a lesson.

This Tutor Turns Confusion into Confidence!!

We had such a wonderful experience with Karl as a tutor for my 14-year-old grandson. In just one lesson, Karl connected with him immediately and explained advanced geometry concepts in a way that “clicked.” My grandson walked away fully confident. He has a natural ability to meet students at their level, break down complex topics, and make learning both engaging and fun. After only one session, my grandson not only understood the material, but he’s eager to continue working with Karl so he can far outpace his classmates. I’m truly grateful to have found such a knowledgeable, patient, and inspiring tutor. Highly recommended!
