Experienced Math Tutor Specializing in Math

Tyler M.

I’m a Computer Science student at San José State University pursuing a Bachelor’s degree with a strong foundation in mathematics, problem-solving, and analytical thinking. My coursework includes calculus, probability and statistics, and advanced computer science classes that emphasize logical reasoning and structured thinking. I also completed the International Baccalaureate Diploma program, which strengthened my ability to approach complex problems methodically and explain ideas clearly.

I previously worked as a Math Instructor at Mathnasium in San Jose, where I provided individualized instruction to students across multiple grade levels, ranging from elementary school through high school. Much of my experience involved one-on-one and small-group sessions, including extended 90-minute lessons focused on test preparation, skill reinforcement, and building confidence. I regularly adapted my teaching approach based on each student’s learning style, using multiple explanations and examples to help concepts click. During short-staffed shifts, I often managed sessions independently while maintaining a supportive and focused learning environment.

My tutoring style emphasizes clarity, patience, and understanding why something works, not just how to get the right answer. I encourage students to think through problems step by step, identify patterns, and develop confidence in their own reasoning. I aim to create a low-pressure environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes as part of the learning process. I enjoy helping students strengthen their fundamentals, improve academic performance, and build the confidence they need to succeed both in and out of the classroom.
