About Nathan

Bio

I love helping students become confident, successful life-long learners, all within the scope of their specific classes. I have walked-the-walk and talked-the-talk from struggling through remedial placement to excelling in graduate course work. I not only understand math but have been in your shoes. I am patient while expecting students to always try their best. Mistakes are a normal part of the growing process.

I love helping students become confident, successful life-long learners, all within the scope of their specific classes. I have walked-the-walk and talked-the-talk from struggling through remedial placement to excelling in graduate course work. I not only understand math but have been in your shoes. I am patient while expecting students to always try their best. Mistakes are a normal part of the growing process.

I have experience as a nationally certified tutor, tutoring in high school and college, as well as volunteer tutoring of the GED math tests. I have also taught middle and high school mathematics and instructed college mathematics. I enjoy working with teenagers and adults of all ages. My tutoring and teaching experience includes elementary school to grandparents in age, as well as non-traditional students, and Veterans.

If both your homework and our sessions are online then I request that you print to PDF your assignment and email it to me before our session. For higher level classes (Calculus, Stats, etc) please do this at least one day (preferably two) in advance to make sure I have time to prepare specifically for you.

Additionally, I can supplement or substitute regular homework with specific and tailored lesson plans.

Shortly after each session, I will report our progress and my observations, including instructions for follow up.

I strongly recommend the use of the Wyzant app for easier communication and calendaring purposes.

I enjoy helping each student recognize that they are, in fact, capable of learning and succeeding in mathematics. I look forward to the opportunity to serve.

I do not tutor CMU/WCCC students in class levels that I at the time teach or students that I have taught in the past as I am employed as math faculty.

I look forward to working with you and helping you reach your math goals.

He's the best tutor we have ever used

This is the 2nd semester that we have had Nathan as a tutor. Last Spring, he tutor my 2 sons in Calc II. They were have a difficulty understanding their professor. Nathan was patient and brought the subject to their level. We were already in tutoring when the virus hit and their classes went totally online. I do not believe that they either one would have passed without his assistance. He went from just tutoring to teaching them the subject. Both ended with a B in a class that is considered a weed out class. Also, one of my sons is a IT tutor at his college. When he tutors, he uses the methods that he has learned from Nathan. So he has been a positive influence beyond Calc II. This semester he is continuing to work with 1 of my sons in Calc III and it is going great. I would highly recommend Nathan.

Knowledgeable and Flexible

Nathan is very nice and very helpful with material. He already had the online version of my textbook before our first meeting even though I sent him my syllabus the day of. He is very good at making the material less stressful and easier to understand as well. Looking forward to meeting with him again!

Jonathan, 1 lesson with Nathan

Patient and knowledgeable tutor.

Nathan A. assisted my middle school daughter with pre algebra and tools to use for math. Nathan’s methods and his online chalk board enhanced my daughter’s learning experience. Nathan also is very understanding of the anxiety a child goes through when they do not understand and/or are behind in math. Nathan is also very flexible in scheduling.

Stacey, 15 lessons with Nathan

Excellent Math Tutor!

My son has been tutored by Nathan for the past 18 months for Geometry and Algebra 2/Trigonometry. Nathan is always well prepared, explains things clearly, and is also patient, kind and consistent. My son appreciates the help very much, and his math grade has improved significantly as well as his confidence. We feel fortunate to have found Nathan and highly recommend him! We only wish we had found him sooner!

Carol, 86 lessons with Nathan

Great tutor and relates well

Nathan did a great job making himself available on short notice and really connected well with our high school senior. He helped him understand statistics in a way that he could apply it which is way better than the teacher did all semester. Great job, nice guy.

John, 4 lessons with Nathan

Flexible, willing to work with us.

Nathan worked with me to get my daughter to get the help she needed. He was flexible, and patient, as we figured out the scheduling. She reports he is doing a good job in helping her with College Algebra.

Dean, 8 lessons with Nathan

Best tutor I've had.

Nathan helped me in my Calculus II course. He helped me fill in the gaps in my knowledge and overall kept me from struggling with the seemingly overwhelming material. I cannot thank him enough and recommend him to anyone struggling with math.

Zoe, 30 lessons with Nathan

Exactly what was needed

Nathan was greatly helpful to me. He understood that I was a beginner and spoke in plain language, patiently guiding me through the specific steps I needed to take on the task. He was also willing to laugh with me, which definitely made things more comfortable.

Tabitha, 1 lesson with Nathan

Very helpful and good teacher

Nathan was great during the lessons I scheduled with him. He was knowledgeable and helpful every step of the way! We went over several concepts from Statistics and he helped me clarify topics in an easy to understand way.

RYAN, 2 lessons with Nathan

statistics help

Nathan was very helpful on my statistics work. He took the time thoroughly to explain everything to me. Will definitely use him again.
