About Seyi

Bio

Most of the time my students fall into two groups: those who already know they are or can be good at math and those who don't. Either way, my aim is to build students' confidence in their math ability as well as their belief in the accessibility of different math principles. A lot of times there is something very small that students have missed and, as a detail-oriented tutor, I jump on the opportunity to tell the student the principle and how to properly use it.

I graduated from UCLA with a degree in Electrical Engineering in 2009. During my time in college I was the Academic Excellence Chair for the National Society of Black Engineers. Upon graduation I taught Middle School Science at Frederick K.C. Price III for one school year. As a teacher at the school I covered every grade level in the school at some point in the year worked with all of the children at the school. I currently work with fourth through eighth grade students on a robotics team as part of the US First, First Lego League Competition.

Trig, Complex Numbers, Matrices and Vectors are really quite fun when you see how the underlying concepts relate to each other. I enjoy helping students understand these concepts as I have been teaching and tutoring math for over ten years now. The key is helping students get lots of practice.

Great coach

My son is improving a lot on his basketball skills. I appreciate all his efforts & patience to coach my son.

Hegan, 17 lessons with Seyi

Patient and very helpful!

Seyi was excellent to work with and very helpful. He took a lot of time to explain math theories and help my daughter understand when and how to apply them correctly. I highly recommend him!

Samantha, 3 lessons with Seyi

Seyi is a Knowledgeable, Patient, Professional and Awesome tutor!!

Seyi helped me get a better and more thorough understanding of C++. I'm taking a C++ (level 1) class at a community college. I was frustrated and overwhelmed with the class, Seyi provided me with a breakdown of the fundamentals and welcomed any questions I had. I was able to connect with him within hours of my request to speak with him. I'm So Thankful to have connected with Seyi.
