Hello! I'm Larry, and I'm committed to helping my students succeed. I graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2023. There, I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Cell and Developmental Biology. Throughout college, I excelled in my courses, earning a 4.0 GPA.

It was in my second year of college, during the height of the pandemic, that I realized I wanted to be a tutor. I joined Cub Support, a volunteer organization created to help K-12 students during their transition to online learning. Since then, I've continued to tutor online, working with high school and college students in math and science.

It has always been the case that the concepts I know best are the ones I have had in-depth conversations about with my peers and educators. Discussions help to illuminate areas in which students lack understanding and resolve them. As such, I believe that students must be active participants in their education to get the most out of it. I bring this mindset into all of my tutoring sessions, making sure my students are active learners, constantly participating in discussions with me. As I explain concepts or work through problems, I ask students questions to check their understanding. I also encourage them to stop me and ask clarifying questions whenever they feel the need to. My goal is for my students to gain a deep, intuitive understanding of and appreciation for what they are studying, thereby becoming better problem solvers.

Please contact me if you have any questions or want to schedule a lesson! I'd also be happy to schedule a free consultation meeting to provide more information about my lessons or anything else you may want to discuss.

Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I have a lot of experience teaching students algebra 2, having worked with those who naturally excel at it and those who have found it difficult. While taking math courses in high school and college, I strived to understand why different mathematical steps are performed to solve problems, rather than just memorizing what to do. This approach has helped me and many of my students excel in math and become great problem solvers.
Biology

Biology

I graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara having earned a degree in one of the most fascinating subjects of all, biology. During my time in university, I took many biology courses including genetics, physiology, evolution, and biochemistry, earning a 4.0 cumulative GPA. In short, biology is the study of life, and it utilizes principles in physics and chemistry to shed light on how living things function, and why things are the way that they are in our natural world. Join me for a tutoring session where I will work to help you develop your knowledge of biology and become an excellent problem-solver.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I will help you succeed in your Chemistry course! My students come to understand chemistry from a conceptual standpoint so that they can truly become great problem solvers.

Patient and good tutor

Larry helped me throughout the year with AP Chemistry and really took the time to guide me into understanding the deeper meaning behind topics and the fundamental topics of chemistry. He is also very understanding and patient. I struggle a lot with understanding chemistry and he made it a lot easier, I maintained an A in my class and got high marks on my tests because of him.

Biochemistry

Larry did a great job helping me understand and complete my Biochem assignments. He is very knowledgeable and patient. I appreciated the prompt response when I reached out and willingness to always respond when I need him. Great tutor.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Larry has been very patient with my daughter during her chemistry sessions. We had a few last minute sessions to help get her through homework and prepare her for her test which helped her tremendously!

VaNessa, 6 lessons with Larry

Excellent teacher

He takes his time explaining concepts thoroughly and is very knowledgeable. Even if I do not send the material ahead of time, he has a good understanding of the topics.

Mia, 9 lessons with Larry

Impeccable tutor

I am someone who has always tremendously struggled in math, and I can confidently say that I would not have passed math without Larry. He taught me the material better than anyone I have ever worked with, and more importantly, made me feel like I could succeed in math. I could not recommend him more for those who need help with learning math, and boosting their confidence in their abilities.

Lea, 10 lessons with Larry

Very good knowledge and made thing easy to understand

Larry helped me solve Chem 1A problems and prep for my midterm, I was having hard time understanding the concept. He came prepared , made it easy to understand, and clearly explained how to solve the problem and prep for my midterm.

Faeq, 19 lessons with Larry

Great Teaching!

Larry was a really great tutor. He gave me a helpful overview of the concepts and explained everything patiently and clearly. He came with practice problems, and by the end of the 1-hr session I had a much better understanding of the material. I would definitely work with him again.
