About Kirk

Bio

COVID 19 Update: I now do all of my tutoring online. I use Zoom and a document camera to provide notes for my students. I then send pictures of my notes (and my handouts) to my student at the end of the session.

It's not as good as in-person tutoring but my students have given me a lot of positive feedback. As usual, if you are not 100% happy with your session, you pay nothing.

Hang in there and let me know if I can help you out.

Hang in there and let me know if I can help you out.

My name is Kirk and I specialize in performing minor miracles. I have even performed a major miracle or two.

I am so confident in my ability to get you results, that I offer a money-back guarantee on ANY tutoring appointment. If you are not totally happy with your tutoring session, then you pay nothing.

I tutor as a full-time job, unlike the vast majority of other tutors, and if I don't get results, I don't eat. This means that I am very focused on getting students results.

I'm relatively expensive but people hire me semester after semester because I get results, save them time and reduce their stress levels.

Listed below are my qualifications, actual results and feedback from many happy students and parents.

I'm looking forward to helping you out!

Statistics

Statistics

I have tutored hundreds of students from across the United States in introductory statistics. This includes all of the schools in the San Diego area as well as USC and UCLA. In addition, I've helped students at East Coast schools such as Cornell, Boston University (BU), New York University (NYU), Columbia University and Georgetown. Lastly, I've also helped students at TCU. At our first session, I start with several handouts that translate all of the Greek letters and abstract symbols into plain English. After that, I use my 20+ other handouts to create templates for you to follow. In addition, I teach you how to remember important information using proven memory techniques. I also share with you a unique way to remember how to use your graphing calculator to easily solve challenging problems. Working together, I'm confident I can get you through statistics.

Homeschool

Algebra 1,

Algebra 1

This class develops skills that are used in subjects as diverse as trigonometry, calculus and statistics. Most students breeze through the early material but then hit the wall when it comes to factoring. Unfortunately, factoring is the crucial skill that students must learn in algebra. The good news is that I have developed a proprietary system for factoring that will make factoring one of your favorite things to do. Instead of fearing factoring, you will come to love it as I do!
Algebra 2,

Algebra 2

Subject matter covered in this class includes matrices, radicals, logarithms, domain, absolute value and systems of equations. In addition, graphing becomes more extensive and complicated. My methods for teaching these subjects are unique and based on my experience tutoring thousands of students over 10 year+ time period. If you are looking for an easier way to learn algebra, then contact me. You will be happy that you did.
Calculus,

Calculus

Calculus is known as a "major changer." What this means is that many students end up changing their major when they hit calculus. Do not be one of the 50% who fails calculus I. I can get you through this class with a minimum of pain. Let me translate all of the abstract symbols, formulas and definitions into plain English. I also have many handouts that help you get through some of the tougher spots. Please don't wait until you have failed a test or two to get help. Contact me early and reduce your stress and increase your scores.
Precalculus,

Precalculus

I take a sophisticated approach to teaching the material in this class. I show students the connection between precalculus and calculus. I like to bring students up to speed on many calculus concepts while they are in precalculus. For instance, I teach students about limits and the difference quotient which are both covered in the first few weeks of calculus. In addition, I will introduce them to the first derivative so that they are not overwhelmed in calculus I.

Trigonometry

Trigonometry

If you did well in geometry, then you will do well in trigonometry. However, if you did not, then trig will literally have you going in circles. Speaking of circles, one of the first things I do is to teach my students how to draw the unit circle. Being able to easily draw the unit cicle is a big stress reducer! I also have unique ways of remembering the dozens of formulas that trig uses. Lastly, I have a special graphing technique that will make graphing trig functions super easy.

Knowledgeable and patient

Kirk helped my son to prepare for an upcoming AP Calculus exam. He provided him with clear explanations and tons of resources. He was easy to work with and had a flexible schedule too. I highly recommend him.

Monica, 1 lesson with Kirk

Great tutor

Kirk is very knowledgeable and very helpful with all the subjects I was having trouble with. I learned a lot and will definitely be coming back again.

David, 2 lessons with Kirk

Great tutor!

I was not doing so well in my stats class and I had two sessions with him and it was very helpful I actually understood everything. I got a B on the final and brought my grade up.

Irene, 2 lessons with Kirk

Helped at a moments notice! Thank you!

Kirk was able to support my daughter within hours of me reaching out. He was extremely knowledgeable and provided additional resources even after the session. Thank you!!

Gretchen, 2 lessons with Kirk

Truly amazing

I am leaving this review in hopes of helping someone else. I found Kirk for my son who needed help in Statistics in college. Kirk was able to fill in the gaps and help simplify difficult material for him. He provided handouts after each lesson to review before exam. After working with Kirk my son got a 92 on his midterm. This was a drastic improvement. We so appreciate how accommodating Kirk has been with scheduling lessons as well. If you need help in Math look no further! You won’t regret your decision!

Veronica, 11 lessons with Kirk

AWESOME tutor!

Kirk goes above and beyond. My daughter said that on a 5-star scale, he needs AT LEAST a 10! :) He not only tutored her - he provided written materials he felt would be helpful prior to the session. He also texted her hints/tips/reminders on exam day and checked on her after the test for which she was preparing. He is AWESOME! Almost hate to leave this review as we'd like to keep him all to ourselves!

Traci, 5 lessons with Kirk

Great tutor!

Kirk is thorough and patient. We appreciate his help with our son’s statistics class. He is very available and flexible and a great online teacher. Thanks Kirk!

James, 32 lessons with Kirk

Good teacher. Qualified and patient

My junior really enjoyed her lesson. It was a good combination of interaction and learning. She learned concepts and is hopefully creating a strong foundation. We have signed on for another lesson with Kirk.

AP Calculus

My son has had several lessons with Kirk to help with AP Calculus. His quiz and test scores have increased and he is much more confident with the material! Highly recommend!
