With 10+ years tutoring in the east bay area, I can help your children reach their goals.
I am familiar with many Math programs from HS in this area and customize to your children
status and needs (esp. during this pandemic). I also write substantially on practice

I have dozens of past and present Calculus students of all levels and have contributed to
a Calculus textbook (I charge Multi-variate Calculus students a bit more).
Groups are welcome with discounts (about 25 percent per student for a group of two).
Usually I can give a short preview meeting (15min) or phone conversation to explain how I can meet the need of your children (but only after you have registered with payment info by Wyzant's requirement).
I have accommodated my students' need from HW to extra practice for years (I wrote many of them). Questions are welcome. Thanks for your support.
I have more than 10 years of Math tutoring (no Statistics) experience in Tri-Valley area including the new Common Core contents in Algebra II, pre-Calculus and Calculus for the MS and HS in Pleasanton, San Ramon and Dublin.

I am an experienced Math tutor (Math Ph.D from US, 10+ recent years, 300+ students), have been a college instructor and software engineer. I have helped students succeed from the most difficult to the most fundamental Math courses. I have an unmatched Math (with technical) background and know many issues of learning Math in general and in any particular class (e.g. Algebra, Geometry). I was admitted to UCB Math PhD program (but chose Purdue PhD for some reason). Some of my students eventually go to top colleges (UCB (>=6 including 2 in 2015, 1 in 2017), MIT, Davis, UOP, U Chicago, UT Austin). Others did learn the basic Math they needed in their jobs and lives. My rates are very reasonable given what I could do to help. Many of my students are taking Hon. Math classes and I have my own collection of problems at or exceeding the level, written by myself or adapted from po

Reviews

Knowledgeable, patient, and explains it thoroughly.

I am struggling profusely in Honors Pre Calculus. Through my sessions with him, the time in those hours were used to the max (very reliable and accommodating). I have my test tomorrow, and I feel pretty confident (unlike the last two tests, where I was completely lost). He shows me different but EASIER ways to solve the problems, differing my teacher's methods, and explains why it works. Recommend!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Chuntak helped my son with High School Geometry. He was prepared, knowledgeable and patient. My son liked working with him and said he learned a lot from Chuntak.

Sunita, 9 lessons with Chuntak

Knowledgeable

Chuntak helped my daughter in AP Calculus to improve her confidence and knowledge to a great extent. Very patient and well prepared for each session. It helped her a lot

Vishnu, 11 lessons with Chuntak

Very responsible and knowledgeable

Chuntak helped my daughter's on her AP Calculus: my daughter had a wobbly Math foundation and was struggling tremendously with APCalculus. We are very lucky to find Chuntak to the rescue!! He gave us plans on how to improve her Math and explained patiently the problems she didn't understand.

Marina, 9 lessons with Chuntak

Very dedicated teacher

Found Mr. Chuntak a very knowledgable and dedicated teacher. My daughter had a test and he helped her practice with lots of extra math problems.

Sujata, 70 lessons with Chuntak

Knowledgeable and patient

Chuntak was very patient with my son, performed some assessment, and adjust the tutoring session to fit his needs. Will continue with Chuntak. Thanks!

Patrick, 8 lessons with Chuntak

He knew exactly what my problem was immediately.

Even though I only had one lesson with him, Chuntak showed me that it wasn't that I didn't know what I was doing but I needed more practice, especially with integration by parts formulas. His advice has helped me a lot and I am very confident that in my next quiz I will be able to score at least 50/60 from 24/60. I will probably ask for more help from him in the future.

Nancy, 1 lesson with Chuntak

Very patient!

Chuntak is a very patient and intelligent calculus tutor. He explains the problems step by step and it made me understand it clearer. He is very punctual and it is pretty easy to reach him by phone, text message and email. When it comes to complicated problems, he would break it down and guide you through the problem. I would really recommend him to anyone who has a weak mathematics foundation like me.

Kristy, 101 lessons with Chuntak

Fantastic tutor, reliable and very knowledgeable

Chuntak is an outstanding tutor with incredible knowledge in math. His price is worth every penny if you need help with math, because he can cover literally everything that you need. He has a drive to help you succeed in the sessions, so no time is lost. He is also a great person to work with as well. I recommend Chuntak to anyone struggling with math because he can help you get over the hump to reach your goals.
