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.

DOS

I am a DOS native, having learned to use IBM compatible computers prior to the release of Windows 95 (some might remember Windows 3.1).

R

R

I have taken classes specifically in learning R and R-Studio as well as used them in numerous graduate applied Statistics courses. I also run my own R-Studio server to make work easier. I prefer to tutor beginning/introductory R and to see the assignment and data at least one day in advance in order to prepare more effectively.

Came to the rescue!

Nathan was able to immediately jump in and help our son in Calculus 2. We were all of a sudden being told our son was failing this math class. Nathan worked with our son nightly, to prepare for his final. Nathan helped him to really understand the material. The positive experience my son gained from working with Nathan will help him in the future to confidentially seek help when he needs it. Thank you Nathan!

Excellent Calculus 3 Tutor

We tried to find several tutors prior, but none were able to help with her complicated material until Nathan. Nathan was very thorough and did a great job helping my daughter with her Calculus 3 homework. She will definitely be working with him again!!
