Penn & Harvard-Trained | Classroom & Homeschool Experience

Trevor B.

I tutor with a background that blends strong academic training with more than five years of hands-on experience helping students succeed in math, test preparation, and personal finance. I studied at the University of Pennsylvania, where I graduated summa cum laude, and later completed a Master's in Finance at Harvard University. That mix of quantitative learning and communication-focused work has shaped the way I break down difficult ideas so they feel clear and approachable for students at different stages.

My teaching experience comes from a range of settings, including my time at a Classical Christian school where I taught Math and Social Studies at the high school level. Outside the classroom, I have spent over five years working with students on SAT Math and core high school and college subjects such as Algebra II, Algebra I, Essay writing, and Finance. I have also supported younger learners who need patient, steady help with foundational skills like fractions, division, and early algebra. Working one on one with students has taught me how to adjust my pace, style, and explanations so each learner feels understood and supported.

My approach is rooted in figuring out exactly where a student starts to feel unsure and then rebuilding their confidence through clear explanation and guided practice. Whether I am helping a fourth grader strengthen essential skills or coaching a high school student toward a higher SAT score, I aim to make the material feel manageable and even enjoyable. Above all, I want students to walk away feeling capable and proud of their progress, knowing they can rely on the skills they have built long after tutoring ends.
