Fearless Math Tutoring from Kindergarten to College Apps

Jeff C.

Math is a second language to me. I recently took graduate physics and math courses on track to receiving a physics PhD from University of Pennsylvania, so you could say I've been living and breathing math for a long time. All those courses in public school ended up helping me greatly, although I didn't appreciate them at the time. I understand what it's like to view math as the enemy, so I can relate to you if you're struggling unhappily to get through your math classes. Math class is a battle and you can win the war!

Besides helping my brother, sister, and friends with math homework growing up, I've had other tutoring and teaching positions. For all of 10th grade, I joined a tutoring club at my school to help underperforming math students turn their grades around. In 2015, I TA'd two hands-on Electrical Engineering summer school courses for elementary and middle school students. From 2015-2016 I was enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania as a graduate student and taught six undergraduate physics lab sections. All of those experiences taught me how to lecture clearly and hone my abilities as an encouraging helper.

I have a B.S. in Physics, with a Minor in Mathematics, from UCLA. I've also worked as a Systems Engineer at Boeing (at the El Segundo Satellite Development Center) for a year and a half, so I've learned math for math itself, for physics classes, and for applied engineering problems in industry. It's the broad extent of my application of math concepts that gives me confidence that I can give you the tools you need to succeed, for math as well as for school in general. School is a challenge, as it should be, and if you'd like to become fearless, I'm the tutor for you.
