I am currently enrolled at University of California- Santa Barbara pursuing a PhD in mathematics. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 3.97 GPA from Dartmouth college with a triple major in math, physics, and economics.
I have been tutoring for seven years in both math and physics. In high school, I tutored the same students for over a year and helped their grades and understanding improve. I still remain in contact with these students and help them work through their college material. In college, I continued tutoring in both math and physics in individual and group settings.
I enjoy tutoring because I have always loved math and physics and hope to help other people see these subjects the way I do. I always try to find the most effective method to explain a concept to a student, regardless of their learning style. I am always happy to answer clarification questions between tutoring sessions.

I have tutored math from middle school levels through upper-level collegiate courses. I have also tutored significantly for math competitions. Personally, I have always loved competing in math competitions. In high school, I competed at MathCounts Nationals, qualified for AIME through AMC three times, competed at various local math competitions, and led our school’s math team. I scored a 36 on the ACT math section, as well as perfect scores on the SAT II Math II subject test, BC Calculus AP test, and PSAT math section.

I tutored AP Physics C in high school, both Mechanics and Electricity and Magnetism, as well as introductory mechanics during college. I scored a 36 on the ACT Science Section, as well as perfect scores on the SAT II Physics subject test, Physics C Mechanics AP, and the Physics C Electricity and Magnetism AP.

I am happy to discuss my background and tutoring philosophy and how to relates to what you are looking for. Feel free to reach out for a quick conversation.

The Best Decision I have ever made.

Mitchell is not only an amazing teacher but a true natural mathematical genius. His understanding of deep concepts of mathematics is prominent in his teaching. What I was really struck by the most is his adaptable teaching style for any type of student. I am a very slow learner, and it takes me a while to see how certain concepts or steps of a math problem connect. Mitchell went above and beyond my expectations and eventually adapted to my learning style and actually explained each step with such amazing precision that I was able to actually understand extremely hard math problems that I never thought would be accomplishable for my math level. Mitchell is truly one of a kind and the best tutor I have ever had in my life. He truly has something that I have not seen in anyone else.

Knowledgeable and clear instructions

Mitchel was an excellent tutor for my student. He was knowledgeable and knew how to work with more advanced concepts in PreCalc. His instruction was clear and deliberate, solidifying concepts into bite size pieces that my student could process. Thank you.
