Bio

Hello I am Neil! I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology. While in college, at the request of my older sister, I began to tutor her daughter, my niece in pre-Algebra. Unbeknownst to me, that was the beginning of what has become a rewarding career as a professional academic tutor. Since then, I have added Algebra I, Algebra II, General Chemistry, and General Physics to courses that I tutor.

Hello I am Neil! I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology. While in college, at the request of my older sister, I began to tutor her daughter, my niece in pre-Algebra. Unbeknownst to me, that was the beginning of what has become a rewarding career as a professional academic tutor. Since then, I have added Algebra I, Algebra II, General Chemistry, and General Physics to courses that I tutor. In my experience as a tutor, the problems and concepts that are discussed in lecture and assigned for homework are those most likely to show up on quizzes and exams, I therefore work to ensure that my students are able to complete the problems from lecture and homework on their own. When needed, I carefully construct practice quizzes and exams for my students, so they may reinforce what they have learned in class an in my presence. In my experience, this method works to accurately gauge my student’s progress, giving us both a good idea where to spend our time in the day’s leading to classroom quizzes and exams.

I have close to ten years of tutoring experience working mainly with Community College and University students. I have worked with students in a one and one capacity and in small groups of 2-5 students. In the past I have had experience tutoring online through interactive whiteboards. I am always willing to go through the extra mile to ensure my student’s success inside and outside the classroom. I have held tutoring sessions with various small groups of students preparing for their quarter and semester finals and to those just wanting to stay ahead of the material.

Besides doing well in these courses in High School. I Earned A and B grades in my undergraduate college math courses that included Calculus I, Calculus II, and Differential equations. I have tutored many community college students to A and B grades in Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Trigonometry. Many of these students went on to success in College Chemistry and College Physics.

I have a passion for the physical sciences. I did very well in my G

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

In my tutoring career, I have had the privilege of working with students of all backgrounds earn top grades in Algebra I.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

In my tutoring career, I have assisted students from Arithmetic to Calculus 2. Algebra 1 and 2 is often a crucial component in courses like General Chemistry and General Physics, therefore I place a strong emphasis on ensuring that my clients are able to set-up and complete word problems of various difficulties.
Calculus

Calculus

I have taken countless students from Arithmetic to Calculus in the shortest time possible. During the course of my tutoring career, I have worked with dozen's of UCI Students prepare for their common finals in Calculus i and Calculus II. I pay careful attention to the types of problems assigned in homework, and discussed in lecture, in order to prepare mock quizzes and exams for my clients to accurately gauge their progress and adjust their tutoring sessions to maximize their results when tested in class.
Chemistry

Chemistry

In the course of my tutoring career, I have assisted students from various High Schools, College, and Universities earn top grades in General Chemistry, awhile preparing them for success in Bio Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. I have many hours of experience and the necessary patience to guide students of various learning abilities to top grades in General Chemistry.
Physics

Physics

I have tutored many students from local community colleges and universities earn "A" and "B" grades in Algebra and Calculus based physics. I have tutored students in both accelerated and traditionally based courses from AMU, UCI, OCC, CSUF, and CSULB. I have extensive background with students taken online courses with a lab components, most notably the Physics 151 and Physics 152 sequence at CSULB. I know how to maximize my clients potential awhile making learning physics fun and rewarding.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

In the course of my tutoring career, I have assisted students from various High Schools, College, and Universities earn top grades in Pre-algebra, awhile preparing them for success in Algebra, Trigonometry, Precalculus, and the early stages of Calculus. I have many hours of experience and the necessary patience to guide them through the vigors and nuances of Algebra and related subjects.

exceptional tutor

I was struggling with general college chemistry, and in turn, feeling the imposter syndrome, and losing confidence in my chemistry class until I found Neil. Neil is extremely patient, understanding, knowledgeable, and most importantly versatile. Tailoring my understanding to the way he teaches me, I am not overwhelmed or bombarded with too much information at once, and can focus on furthering my understanding one topic at a time. He taught me various ways I can approach a question, gave me examples, and walked me through the concepts behind the formulas and laws. Neil is one of the best tutors I have had in years, as he makes the session very efficient and is correct every single time. He has encouraged my efforts (even when they were wrong) and has guided me towards the right direction while still challenging me to begin problems. He uses my current understanding and approach to problems and shows me how to correctly do them the way I am comfortable with, rather than introducing a new method which usually confuses me. Overall, extremely knowledgeable and kind.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

I highly recommend Neil! He helped me prepare for my arithmetic accuplacer. He was extremely helpful, explained the material in multiple different ways to make sure I understood. I truly appreciate his expertise and dedication. Thank you Neil!!

Patient and thorough tutor!

Neil helped me with some chemistry concepts I was having trouble grasping. He was very patient and encouraging. In addition, he gave me extra practice problems I can work through on my own time. I highly recommend Neil as a tutor!

Patient and knowledgeable

Neil takes his time to help me understand complex parts of subject, he is very helpful in making concepts clear and in a way that is understandable to someone who is new to subject.

Alan, 12 lessons with Neil

Very helpful and commited tutor

Neil has been helping me prepare for a final exam and It's like he is taking the class with me. He goes over every document, practice sheet, practice test, and sylabi that I send him so that he can better teach me the material I am learning. Even though the curriculum I am studying for is for another country Neil goes above and beyond to make sure that I am following along in class and getting prepared for the Final exam.

Luciano, 6 lessons with Neil

Very positive experience.

My niece found this tutor very helpful and appreciated that he even went overtime to assist her. We will plan on rescheduling more appointments. She felt he was clear and c concise and made the information understandable.

An expert in Calculus

Neil did a fabulous job teaching the Calculus concepts to my daughter. He goes into detail explaining how to derive the answers rather than just doing the problems at hand. Would recommend him.

Knowledgable, Easy to Understand, and to the Point!

After searching and trying out several Physics tutors, I scheduled with Neil and could not have been more pleased. He simplified complex material that I needed to understand for completing homework assignments and obtaining A's on all my quizzes so far this semester, while also remaining patient with me. Any question I had come up with during our session, he had a perfectly reasonable explanation that incorporated the relationship between different variables used in respective formulas (this allowed me to completing each problem correctly without making common mistakes). What my professor had failed to clarify in lecture, Neil clarified in session with ease and to the point. Highly recommend for anyone struggling with collegiate level Physics.

Knowledgeable and Patient

Neil explained the problems and their solutions in a way that was easy to understand... I highly recommend him for all levels of mathematics. I'm definitely going to use him again.
