I love tutoring. To see a child or adult come to understand material that he or she could not fully grasp before is priceless.
I have been tutoring privately for over five years and I have recently completed my first full year of teaching high school mathematics.
I understand the patience and dedication that is essential to a

- Lisa, Bradenton, FL on 4/26/16After only 2 lessons. I can see a greater level of understanding and confidence in my son regarding Algebra. My only regret is not contacting Brandon sooner.
Thank you Lisa! Looking forward to continuing to work with your son.

"Three thumbs up for this tutor - very professional, yet kind"
- Logan, Sarasota, FL on 1/17/16We are very impressed with Brandon. He has mastered the subjects he teaches and makes it a point to "tune in" to precisely where our student goes awry. He is knowledgeable, kind, yet very professional. As a result, our grandson is mastering his issues and his grades are souring. Three thumbs up for this tutor.
"Punctual and got right to work!"
- Maria, Bradenton, FL on 10/25/14With Brandon's help, my daughter was able to clear up her math questions. Brandon arrived on time and immediately started working with her. At the end of the tutoring session, my daughter had a better understanding of the math problems she was having trouble with.
"Very Helpful!"
- Monica, Bradenton, FL on 7/29/14My daughter was having trouble following the fast pace of her classroom instructor. Brandon was able to break down the work into parts she could follow and comprehend. She is feeling a lot more confident going forward in her math class. Thanks so much.
"Money well spent - great tutor"
- Jean, Bradenton, FL on 3/2/14I was very impressed with Mr. G. He is very informative and presented well. I told him my expectations as a parent and he made sure they were met. Thanks again - we can't wait until our next visit.
"Great Tutor"
- Alexandra, Bradenton, FL on 12/15/13My daughter really enjoyed the class with Brandon, he was on time and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Brandon and would like to set up future sessions with him.
"Great tutor"
- Andrew, Bradenton, FL on 10/15/13Before working with Brandon I was struggling in my current college algebra class. After scoring a 47% on my second exam of the semester I new I needed help. After working with Brandon, I saw my test scores improve to a 85%, then to a 96%, to eventually scoring a 95% on my final exam and passing the course with an A average. Brandon was a great tutor and I will defiantly look forward to working with him for my future math courses.
"Very talented and flexible"
- Bill, Bradenton, FL on 8/28/13Brandon G tutored an 8yr old boy for approximately 6 weeks during the summer break. The child has ADHD and Brandon did a superb job of keeping him focused and interested in improving his math and reading skills. The child was held back in second grade. At the end of the first week of school, he told his Mom that he was the smartest kid in second grade and received an A on his first Math test. Clearly, Brandon G made a difference in the child's attitude towards school.
This is great news! It was truly a pleasure working with this student. Knowing I had a positive influence in the boy's life is priceless. And how awesome of Mr. Bill F to personally fund all the sessions he and I had together.
It was neat how with time, he was able to maintain the self discipline necessary to fully complete a lesson before receiving the reward of playing on the computer.
"Excellent Tutor"
- Ingrid, Bradenton Beach, FL on 8/17/13Prompt, flexible and reliable. Brandon is very knowledgeable and patient. I am happy with the way my daughter is progressing in her studies with Brandon, and highly recommend him to anyone.
The student and I have been moving ahead at such a quick pace thanks to the support of her mom, Ingrid. In less than one month, she and I fully covered all the material in her textbook. We are now reviewing for her cumulative exam (which will be administered by myself) just in time before she leaves back to New York.
"Fantastic results in a short time! Great communication!"
- Raymond, Bradenton, FL on 4/16/13Brandon is a very thorough and professional tutor that connects well with my son. His knowledge of Algebra is amazing and his ability to pass that knowledge to the student is more incredible. Call Brandon when you truly want to see fast progress. You can be assured of money well spent.
"Very patient and accessible."
- Lisa, Sarasota, FL on 4/11/13Brandon was very patient and accessible. He was knowledgeable yet open to increasing his understanding of the subject when necessary. He tutored me for statistics and I did very well in the class. I feel he was just as invested in the outcome as I was and was willing to meet the needs of my crazy schedule to make that happen. I would highly recommend him as a tutor or for any profession that he could apply his talents to .

Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
ACT Math
I did very well on the ACT Math portion and this is a regular subject of which I tutor throughout the year.
Algebra 1
Algebra is the "bread & butter" of all high school math. In order for a student to be successful in future math courses, he or she needs to be strong in algebra. I excelled in algebra when I was a student. I can certainly help others grasp the subject and gain the knowledge of the fundamental topics within the subject.
Algebra 2
Algebra 2 is an extension of Algebra 1, and sometimes I find myself covering the topics of Algebra 1 or Pre-Algebra with some students--this is okay, but more importantly, it is necessary!
ASVAB
I know how to help young adults understand all of the mathematical concepts covered in the ASVAB and increase their score. There are techniques for studying on one's own that can be utilized in addition to tutoring. I have successfully helped students over the years increase their scores to enter whatever particular field or job they were seeking.
Calculus
I have a high aptitude for calculus related subjects.
Related courses for which I have passed with a 3.0 or higher include:
* Precalculus/Trigonometry
* Calc with Analytic Geometry I
* Calc with Analytic Geometry II
* Calc with Analytic Geometry III
* Differential Equations
Finance
I hold a degree in finance from the University of South Florida, Sarasota-Manatee. Cumulative GPA of 3.59.
SAT Math
The SAT is a BIG deal. And I can clearly express and have you or your child understand the material and mathematical concepts behind the problems. It is important that your son or daughter know how to set up problems with the ability to express word problems into expressions and equations--and I can do this! I want your son or daughter to get the best score possible so they can have better potential to get into the school they want a little more easily.
Statistics
I have tutored statistics for several clients in the past couple years. I understand how and what tools make this subject less time consuming and that provide accurate and detailed information for all the different tests covered throughout the course. Statistics is all about variation for different types of data being analyzed.
Study Skills
I currently work with two students who both have ADHD. I myself have ADHD and therefore understand the personal importance of study skills. I teach my students that it is equally important to relax and reward yourself with some free time after doing some homework or working on a big assignment.
Organization is key, and even more specifically SETTING DEADLINES. If a student is not exactly sure when something is due, he or she will feel less strongly about where they exactly stand. And even more importantly, knowing deadlines and creating your own daily schedule makes life that much easier.
The two students that I currently work with are a sophomore in high school and a repeat second grader. Both require study skill habits in their own unique way, and I manage to cater to their specific needs quite well.
I am able to set deadlines for my students and then after a while, they can really see how straightforward and simple organization of one's time can be.
Working with the TV off and avoiding any unnecessary distractions is just as important when talking about study skills. The environment one works in is critical to one's success. Pythagorean didn't have MTV or an iPhone to distract him from developing his famous right triangle theorem!
Trigonometry
Trigonometry makes up the significant portion of "pre-calculus" courses. I have been able to make trigonometry much easier to understand and comprehend for many students over the years. Some teachers or professors do not focus on certain fundamentals of trigonometry, thus making it more difficult to fully grasp the material and even more importantly, how to efficiently obtain solutions to problems. I make sure to go over these fundamentals each and every time I sit down with a student for the first time, especially because these fundamentals are referred to over and over again throughout the course.
