ACT Math

ACT Math

College Math graduate with 4.0 GPA, ACT and SAT Math tutor for over 5 years
Calculus

Calculus

I have a BS degree in Math, graduating with honors. I started tutoring Calculus while in College, and I've been successful helping my students connect with the material and becoming successful.
Precalculus

Precalculus

Precalculus is a key subject in the High School curriculum which formalizes and extends many of the concepts in previous courses and adds new ones that will serve as a bridge to later courses. This makes Precalc a particularly challenging subject for many students, and at the same time it makes it a specially important one, as it lays the foundation for the more advanced concepts and procedures routinely used in Calculus. I have extensive experience tutoring PreCalculus to students of all levels, and my ability to make the concepts in the Precalculus curriculum understandable to any student by following different approaches is one of the reasons that sets me apart. I have been helping students succeed in Precalc for many years, let me help you as well!
SAT Math

SAT Math

I have been helping students improve their SAT Mathematics scores for many years. SAT Math uses concepts that are not particularly challenging, but because students are likely to not have seen some of the specific types of problems in the SAT Math exam most are likely not to score up to their full potential. I will help you practice, reason, and fully understand all the types of problems you will be tested on in your SAT Mathematics exam so you can be confident that when exam day comes you will be prepared to do well.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

Trigonometry is a fundamental part of the curriculum that teach concepts which will be used throughout the later High School and College years. The concepts involved in Trig are simple, and if applied systematically, they allow the student to build a strong foundation. Let me used my extensive experience in Trigonometry and Precalculus to help you succeed!

Best Tutor Ever

You will not find a more dedicated, professional tutor than Ruben. Not only is he an extremely talented mathematician, but he is also an exceptionally caring instructor. Ruben provided tutoring services for my son in Pre-Calc and Calculus and helped him achieve very good grades at a demanding college prep high school. I only wish that my son’s high school teachers were as thorough, exceptional, and reliable as Ruben was. Despite his very busy schedule, Ruben never let us down. He has an incredible work ethic and, having used other tutors in the past, I can unequivocally state that he is one of the best tutors you will ever hire.

Phenomenal Tutor

My son has always struggled in math. He worked hard at learning it but it did not come easy. While pursuing his Welding AS at Las Positas, it was necessary to pass Trigonometry. Since he did not take Algebra 2 in high school, this seemed like an insurmountable task. Fast forward to us hiring Ruben S. as my son's tutor. Ruben is reliable, calm, encouraging and supportive. He worked with my son twice a week throughout the semester. My son completed and passed the course and now has his AS in Welding. Ruben S. not only helped him pass but also improved his self confidence. He is a phenomenal tutor and I highly recommend him.

Exceptional Calculus BC Tutor – Highly Recommended!

We are incredibly grateful to have found Ruben to help our daughter catch up in her Calculus BC class after she fell behind due to illness. In less than two months, Ruben’s expert guidance and support made a remarkable difference- our daughter was able to catch up and do well on her exams. Ruben’s deep knowledge of Calculus BC is matched by his efficiency and dedication as a tutor. He consistently kept us updated on our daughter’s progress and always sent detailed lesson notes after each session, which was extremely helpful. Ruben was encouraging and supportive, going above and beyond by reviewing material and answering questions even outside of scheduled lessons. His friendly demeanor and excellent communication skills made every interaction a positive experience. Having worked with many tutors over the years, we can confidently say that Ruben stands out as the best. We highly recommend him to any family seeking outstanding math support!

The best tutor we met

We started the class with Ruben in early July. Before this, my daughter struggled a lot with her maths not only because she didn't catch up well at school but also because she didn't build good learning habits. she cannot finish homework, and it is very hard for her to concentrate. very lucky we chose Ruben as her tutor. everything changed slowly now. Ruben teaches her maths but also encourages her and helps her with learning habits and building confidence. everything changes now and as parents, we are really appreciated. Ruben told us it is a long way to help kids build up good learning habits but he will stand aside us to support! He is not only a good teacher but also knows kids very well. He is a real educator !! thanks Ruben

Excellent Math teacher and a wonderful person

I’m extremely grateful to have had Mr. Ruben as my AP Calc AB teacher this year. With his expert knowledge and help, I’ve become much more confident in understanding difficult concepts in Calculus. He made sure that I grasped each concept very well, put in extra time whenever needed, and helped me patiently with any topics that I struggled with. He promptly replied to any questions that I had in between my weekly classes with him. Notably, Mr. Ruben isn’t only an amazing teacher, but he’s also a really kind person. He’s such a great motivator and has been as much invested in my learning and success as I am myself. Going forward, I know I can count on his help even as I start my undergrad at UC Berkeley this fall. I highly recommend Mr. Ruben to any student who’s looking for a knowledgeable, kind, and supportive math teacher. Tvisha Ranjan

Amazing Algebra 2, Precalculus, Calculus, and SAT Math Tutor!

My daughter attends an extremely competitive high school, and Ruben has been helping her for the past three years in her Algebra 2, Precalculus, and AP Calculus BC classes, helping her achieve good grades. He also tutored my daughter in the SAT Math Test. He made a personalized plan and helped her achieve a near perfect score in the SAT Math section. Ruben is very knowledgable and flexible, and my daughter enjoys her lessons with him a lot. He has been a pleasure to work with!

Very knowledgeable, reliable and detail oriented

Ruben has been my son’s Calculus tutor for the past two years now. He’s helped him with Honors pre-calculus and currently, AP Calc AB. He’s really helped my son understand the material, empowering him to achieve excellent grades in both math classes. I personally appreciate how organized and detail oriented he is in his lesson summaries and notes. He’s always there to answer questions for my son if he has a test the next day and has a last minute question. I would highly recommend Ruben as your advanced math tutor.

Amazing Calculus Instructor!

Ruben tutored my daughter for 2.5 years, from precalculus through AP Calc BC! She received almost all A’s and is now attending a Texas A&M as an engineering major! I cannot say enough about his professionalism. Ruben is always prepared and always goes the extra mile for his students! Very knowledgeable and a gifted instructor. She could always understand a difficult construct after Ruben explained it and he was always there to provide additional practice. I highly recommend him!

Excellent job!

Ruben is the kind of tutor you are lucky to find and you don't want to let go until your child is done with school. He is very patient, knowledgeable and thorough. He gives us the peace of mind that our child will not be left with unanswered questions in Geometry. We are highly recommending him!
