Hi Students,

I graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science from UC Davis and I earned my MBA in Finance at CSU Hayward (East Bay). While I was at UC Davis, I placed 2nd in the Undergraduate Mathematics Exam and represented UC Davis in both the Putnam International Mathematics Competition and in the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) Western Regional programming competition.

Hi Students,

I graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science from UC Davis and I earned my MBA in Finance at CSU Hayward (East Bay). While I was at UC Davis, I placed 2nd in the Undergraduate Mathematics Exam and represented UC Davis in both the Putnam International Mathematics Competition and in the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) Western Regional programming competition.

While I love working as a consultant (more on that in a subsequent paragraph), I also really enjoy math and have competed in mathematics competitions from grade school through college (some are listed above). I have also home-schooled our two children for grades K – 8 and helped them with homework in all subjects at every level. The older one graduated from UC Berkeley and is now teaching high school math and the other is sophomore at UC Davis in Mechanical Engineering.

I work with students in Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Discrete Mathematics, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, Chemistry, Physics, and programming in Matlab, Java, Visual Basic, C++ and Scheme. I took many math classes in college before deciding I didn't want to be a math major. Other subjects I have worked with students in include Statistics, Research Methods, Managerial Accounting, Accounting 1 and 2, and Micro and Macro Economics, Network Security, and graduate level Marketing courses.

I have worked with many students on TEAS, ASVAB, ACT, PSAT, SAT, CBEST, and CSET Mathematics subtests I, II, and III. One thing to note, I like taking tests and I believe I can help you get an upper hand on many standardized tests with different tricks and techniques when you just don't know which answer is correct. This greatly improves guessing generally raises student scores, sometimes significantly.

I find math problems interesting and I am most interested in being able to help others see math in a similar light. While I strive to make math fun for all, I expect to at least make it understandable and manageable for you. Hopefully I

UNIX

I have a degree in Computer Science from UC Davis. We developed on the Unix BSD 3.9 and 4.3 versions. While at PG&E I administered a Sun Solaris machine which is a flavor of UNIX. Many of my clients used to run Unix and I would be tasked with configuring the environment for our benefit.

Excellent tutor!

Greg tutored my daughter and helped her get caught up with three weeks of Physics that she missed while she was ill. Then he tutored her to prepare for the ACT Math test. He is very patient and knowledgeable. He understood her particular learning style and was able to make the lessons easy for her to understand. Highly recommend him.

Excellent

Wonderful and patient tutor, and very flexible to accommodate an emergency/last minute lesson! He has tutored my daughter in a variety of subjects now. We will definitely be using Greg for tutoring again. Thanks so much, Greg!

Esther, 2 lessons with Greg

Great Experience!

My daughter’s first Alg2/Trig lesson with Greg helped her gain the confidence in her abilities she was lacking. He is a great tutor.

Stephanie, 17 lessons with Greg

Great tutor

Greg has been helping me through statistics after I hit a mental burn out. He’s great at explaining things and helping me understand my book better. He’s even patient when I have to ask the same questions repeatedly. Highly recommended.

Joelle, 7 lessons with Greg

Great tutor,

Greg's really good at answering questions of how things function. I was really unprepared but Greg was really good at getting the learning on course. He's easy to talk with and improved the learning, by a lot, by answering small nuances that matter. Thanks!

Wayne, 1 lesson with Greg

Intelligent and understandable

Greg helped me with the math section of the SAT to prepare for the real SAT test. He knew how to solve every problem and explained all problems to make it easy for me. I would highly recommend him for SAT math help.
