Hi,

Whether you're looking for help with algebra, trig, or chemistry, I can provide homework assistance as well as quiz and test prep. I often provide custom problems that help you build your skills on tricky problems.

I've tutored, coached, and mentored over 200 students in one-on-one sessions that were the core of the courses I taught at SF State and American University as well as the tutoring I've done in the past three years in northern California.

Our initial sessions often focus on...

Hi,

Whether you're looking for help with algebra, trig, or chemistry, I can provide homework assistance as well as quiz and test prep. I often provide custom problems that help you build your skills on tricky problems.

I've tutored, coached, and mentored over 200 students in one-on-one sessions that were the core of the courses I taught at SF State and American University as well as the tutoring I've done in the past three years in northern California.

Our initial sessions often focus on homework assistance. In most cases, you'll select a problem that's tricky for you and I'll then guide you towards finding the solution (and explain things if you get lost). We'll work through a couple more problems like the first one so you can eventually solve it on your own. The goal is to improve your "content confidence" so you can achieve better quiz and test scores.

Where appropriate, I can create custom "problem sets" that focus specifically on areas you need to improve, quickly, to prepare for an exam. We will then step through your answers to the problems, which will help you identify how to solve this kind of problem.

To help with "looming" exams, I can provide an accelerated test prep "sprint" - an intensive 2-5 day series of custom-tuned problem sets to firm up your weak areas ahead of a major exam. The sprint also covers test-taking tactics and strategies.

Why Do I tutor?
I can't pay back my mentors for all the guidance and support they provided me. Tutoring is my way of "paying it forward." I also really enjoy interacting with students, helping them see their way through a challenging area, and then building on that confidence.

Detail-Oriented, Organized Chemistry Tutor

Robert has been an excellent tutor for high school Chemistry. He has tailored his lessons to the school's textbook and curriculum. He has been very responsive to any questions, concerns, or scheduling changes. To help prepare for tests, he has also created supplemental practice problems and exercises. Highly recommended!

Absolutely the Best!

Robert is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He also operates with such kindness about him. It is clear Robert loves what he does. He helped our son prepare for a test and we were so impressed by how thorough Robert was. He asked for samples of our son's work and focused on the specific areas needed for our son to be successful. We will continue to use Robert for all of our son's math tutoring needs. Thank you, Robert!

Knowledgeable and kind.

He helped my daughter understand chemistry that she wasn’t understanding before his lessons. She had tried many things before and nothing else was helping her so Thank you!

Review for Robert H

Robert was friendly and made me feel at ease during our first session. There was a question that I wasn't understanding and he probably explained it ten different ways. I still didn't understand and he used a different technique (drawing) and I immediately got what the question was asking. I appreciated his patience with me and was excited when the information clicked! Before meeting, he asked to see my syllabus and what lab I had questions about. He came to the meeting prepared and we immediately started working on my lab. We utilized the whole hour. He also responded quickly to emails. I would highly recommend Robert and plan on working with him in the future.

Great!

We are absolutely overjoyed to finally find a tutor who is making a positive difference for our son. He was really struggling with Math and because of his his work with Robert, his test scores improved immediately. What is perhaps more important is that his confidence in problem solving has also grown. This is crucially important for when he's in college and the challenges are different, harder, and perhaps has fewer resources. Thank you Robert!"
