Bio

I have tutored for a few private customers in Orange County for most of the last year, and have been an instructor at Mathnasium of Garden Grove for eleven months now. Mathnasium is a cross between teaching and tutoring, as I typically work with between 2 and 4 students at a time.

I have tutored for a few private customers in Orange County for most of the last year, and have been an instructor at Mathnasium of Garden Grove for eleven months now. Mathnasium is a cross between teaching and tutoring, as I typically work with between 2 and 4 students at a time.
Tutoring is less hassle than teaching, as while teaching, a large portion of your time is spent on bureaucratic tasks that do nothing to help students learn. With tutoring, the tutor gets to work one on one with students, and develop more of a personal relationship with each of his or her clients than a teacher who is dealing with several classes of 30-35 students throughout the day.

I scored 800 (highest possible score) on the College Board's Mathematics Level 2 achievement test, which covers all of pre-calculus mathematics. More recently, to become employed at Mathnasium, I had to pass another rigorous mathematics exam, which also covered all of pre-calculus math, and scored, according to the franchisee, the second or third highest score out of over 700 people who had taken the test. I graduated from Western Governors University in September 2021 with a degree in secondary mathematics education. For that degree, I had to pass courses in calculus (as well as lower mathematics), as well as several courses in pedagogy.

I am currently employed by Mathnasium of Garden Grove from 2:30 to 7:30 P.M., Pacific time. In the summer, my hours will probably change to 1:00-6:00 Pacific time. Travel time to the locations where I work is 20-25 minutes from my current location. I am therefore more suited to tutoring students a long distance away, online, to take advantage of the time difference between Santa Ana and, say, Chicago or Miami. I would only be able to tutor students in person if they are not in school during the morning or noon hours before 1:30 P.M., and within 15 or so miles of Garden Grove and Santa Ana.

Great and Knowledgeable Tutor

Flexible tutor who works effectively within a time frame and does not waste your time. He knows how to identify problems in the moment even if he is unfamiliar with them and proves that he knows exactly what it means to tutor and that you walk away with more confidence. Explains things in a very nice way, and will go through problems step by step if need be.
