I'm Theodore! I'm entering my third year as a Wyzant tutor (after 5 years at Chegg) and am loving the continued opportunities to help students succeed!

I started my teaching "career" in the 6th grade, when a neighbor hired me to tutor her sons in math. As an undergraduate and graduate student, I tutored in a variety of introductory and intermediate classes (statistics, finite mathematics, Calculus, college and intermediate algebra) and even served as a tutor for the football and basketball teams at Indiana University. I am a certified teacher and taught high school and middle school mathematics in La Jolla, CA. For the past several years, I've been teaching undergraduate and graduate university-level courses in math and statistics.

I have experience in a variety of subjects, but especially enjoy tutoring Statistics, Calculus, and all of the Algebra classes (Algebra I & II, Trigonometry, and Pre-Calculus). My focus as a tutor is helping students to succeed in mathematics through understanding each step of the solution. I have found that students that can "see" the mathematics can often understand the mathematics, so I encourage students to use diagrams and graphs to visualize problems. I am a patient teacher, as well, encouraging students to ask questions as we work and providing additional examples to help students achieve success.

Through every teaching position (middle school, high school, and college), one factor has remained constant: my focus on students and dedication to student success. I am easy to reach and look forward to working with you to help you achieve your goals in mathematics and statistics.

Calculus

Calculus

long time calculus teacher and tutor. specializes in helping students to visualize calculus concepts and understand.
Finite Math

Finite Math

I am an experienced finite mathematics teacher and tutor, having taught finite for over 5 years. My Ph.D. focused on the teaching and learning of finite mathematics topics, including probability problems, set notation, and Venn diagrams. My focus on visualizing mathematics is particularly helpful infinite, as it allows students to a better understanding of counting problems, probability, and linear programming.
Geometry

Geometry

I regularly teach geometry at the college level. As a HS teacher, I taught proof-based and computation geometry for HS freshmen and sophomores
Logic

Logic

I am a long-time teacher of the proof and logic course at our university. This course focuses on truth tables, logical equivalences, quantifiers, the logical underpinnings of mathematical proof, and numerous proof techniques. In addition, I have taught modern algebra, number theory, and discrete mathematics classes at the university, all of which utilize logic and proof strategies.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I have taught and tutored pre-calculus for several years, including some years at a top college prep school. In addition to assisting students with algebraic components of pre-calc, I can assist with trigonometry, analytic geometry, and function/graphing topics. I enjoy assisting students with this important bridge to Calculus and other college-level classes.

Sifting through the Superfluous

It took me three Calc teachers to find one that was good and boy is Theodore good! He's respectful, knowledgeable, and very patient. He's great at answering a student's questions and telling them what parts of the material are important and what parts are superfluous. Wonderful teacher and person, with Theodore in your corner Calculus doesn't stand a chance!

If you want to PASS Calculus! Dr.Theodore

Dr. Theodore is an amazing Calculus professor. I came to find him through my brother who he helped in college calculus(he helped him pass with a high grade). Dr.Theodore helped me excel in my college calculus course after not having taking math over the past four years. He was very patient, he made me feel comfortable asking any question and answered all my questions thoroughly xC. He never made me feel like I was dumb and reiterated the fact that "I was the boss" and helped me with anything that I needed. Because of Dr. Theodore I can say that I not only have an A in calculus but understand the concepts. If you need someone to help you pass Calculus Dr. Theodore is your guy. I highly recommend.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.

Theodore tutored me on Honors Pre-Calc trig questions. He was very good at explaining the material in a way that I could understand. He was patient and had homework questions to work on.

Excellent Statistics tutor

Before meeting Theodore, I dropped statistics. However, I am taking statistics again. Theodore knows how to keep me confident in attempting problem solving questions. Therefore, I never feel hopeless. Theodore is a patient professional who explains concepts well. I have severe adhd (auditory learning recall impairment, yet I remain confident I can get through statistics with his support.

Really helpful with Truth Tables

My daughter is in 9th grade geometry and they started out with truth tables and will be heading into proofs and Theodore gave her a great foundation to build from.

Great Stats Teacher

Theodore helped my son prepare for his Statistics final. He's knowledgeable, patient, and explains concepts well. Highly recommended for students who need extra help on Stats.

Cindy, 2 lessons with Theodore

Very Knowledgeable

Theodore is a wonderful tutor in statistics. My son is taking an intro to statistics class in high school. He has been struggling with many of the concepts but Theodore style of teaching has been welcoming. He knows the subject well and helps my son think for himself. He also gives him practice problems soon after his assignment problems to make sure he truly understands. Jackson enjoys his encouraging and warm teaching style.
