About Maxwell


Bio

I have always enjoyed and excelled in math and physics. This was a major factor in my decision to study mechanical engineering at Arizona State University, where I graduated magna cum laude. During a portion of my time at ASU, I worked as a student tutor in the engineering tutoring center where I helped fellow students understand homework and test problems. In addition, I have tutored multiple high school students in math or physics on a private basis.

I strive to not only explain concepts...

I have always enjoyed and excelled in math and physics. This was a major factor in my decision to study mechanical engineering at Arizona State University, where I graduated magna cum laude. During a portion of my time at ASU, I worked as a student tutor in the engineering tutoring center where I helped fellow students understand homework and test problems. In addition, I have tutored multiple high school students in math or physics on a private basis.

I strive to not only explain concepts in ways that make sense to the student, but to also help train him/her in how to think and approach problems. I do my best to encourage students and provide a positive attitude in midst of the frustration and dread that many times develops while studying these subjects.

While I do have a full time job Monday-Friday, I am grateful for the opportunity to help students feel more confident in and hopefully even enjoy math and physics. (Subjects: Pre-algebra, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-calculus, Calculus, Statistics and Physics)

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have always done well in math and physics. From taking advanced courses in high school to entering and graduating magna cum laude from ASU. The course work for my degree in mechanical required a significant amount of math and physics. During my time at ASU, I worked as a student tutor at ASU's engineering tutoring center. I also have experience tutoring high school students in math and physics on a private basis.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

The course work for my degree in mechanical required a solid understanding of Algebra. This included algebra 2 which I passed with high grades in high school as well as help other students. During my time at ASU, I also worked as a student tutor at ASU's engineering tutoring center tutoring algebra.
Calculus

Calculus

The course work for my degree in mechanical required a solid understanding of calculus. This included calculus 3 (vector calculus) and differential equations, all which were passed with high grades. During my time at ASU, I worked as a student tutor at ASU's engineering tutoring center tutoring those subjects. I also have experience tutoring high school students in calculus. In addition, I passed the AP Calculus test in high school which enabled me to accelerate my degree program.
Geometry

Geometry

The course work for my degree in mechanical required a solid understanding of Geometry. This included geometry which I passed with high grades in high school as well as help other students. During my time at ASU, I also worked as a student tutor at ASU's engineering tutoring center tutoring geometry.
Physics

Physics

The course work for my degree in mechanical required a solid understanding of physics. This included passing the calculus based physics 1 and 2 classes 3 with high grades. During my time at ASU, I worked as a student tutor at ASU's engineering tutoring center tutoring in physics. In addition to passing high physics with high grades I also have experience tutoring high school students in physics.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I have extensive experience tutoring students at this age and material level.
Precalculus

Precalculus

From my time studying mechanical engineering at Arizona State University I have spent a lot of time working with the mathematical Concepts for precalculus.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I have extensive experience tutoring students in SAT math.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

The course work for my degree in mechanical required a solid understanding of trigonometry. This included trigonometry which I passed with high grades in high school and helped other students. During my time at ASU, I also worked as a student tutor at ASU's engineering tutoring center tutoring subjects which included trigonometry.

A Natural Teacher

he's very patient, goes to great length to explain until one actually gets it. he makes himself available both in time and location. he seems to be a great guy and a natural teacher.

Donald, 8 lessons with Maxwell

Great First Study Session

We have never used a tutor before but my son is struggling with physics and was reluctant to seek help so we got it for him. Maxwell immediately set Ryan at ease and basically started from the beginning, bringing him up to speed as far as he could in 1 session. Ryan interacted well with him. Tonight, he is reviewing Kahn academy on-line and on his own since "Maxell said this will help me". We have already booked another session with Maxwell next week.

Albert, 14 lessons with Maxwell

Patient and knowledgeable

Great session. It was Easy to make appointment. I already Booked again. My high school son even said he was good and helpful and looking forward to getting help

Michelle, 7 lessons with Maxwell

Relatable and Helpful

Maxwell was very professional yet down to earth. He helped our son understand the content at hand and we will be scheduling again to help solidify concepts that weren’t taught or learned well during COVID.

Lisa, 3 lessons with Maxwell

Amazing Tutor!

In just three sessions, Maxwell has connected with my daughter and explained Algebra in a way she can understand. Her grades are already improving. In addition, he is very professional and accommodating if we need to schedule a last minute session to study for a test/quiz . I highly recommend Maxwell!

BRANDI, 21 lessons with Maxwell

great tutor, fantastic explanations

Great tutor. Maxwell has a great way of teaching and explains everything from multiple view points to find what fits and works for me.

Clayton, 1 lesson with Maxwell

Great Tutor

Maxwell is an excellent Math tutor. He always address all my daughter’s questions. Very courteous and always on time. Communicates any changes ahead of time. It is a pleasure to work with Maxwell. I highly recommend him.

Amy, 4 lessons with Maxwell

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Max was very patient to review each problem until the concepts were clear. He took the time to explain in detail all the necessary theory and made sure it was understood.

Enrique, 1 lesson with Maxwell

Absolutely Amazing Tutor!!

Max has helped me to build my confidence in Physics. I've never taken this subject and would be completely lost without his help. He's very patient, knowledgable and has the ability to explain concepts in multiple different. If I don't understand something, he can rephrase it in a different way until I get it. He knows his stuff!

Aaliyah, 1 lesson with Maxwell

Professional and very knowledgeable

Max is very professional and brings a calm, light hearted, patient teaching style. My daughter was very comfortable from the start and they worked through a fair number of concepts and problems.
