About Andrew

Bio

I have a PhD in mathematics from Iowa State University. Besides my 5 years as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, I have 32 years experience teaching university math courses professionally. I taught at a variety of schools, including University of Akron, Northeastern U., Iowa State U., Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Morehead State U., Transylvania U., U. of Kentucky, and Kentucky State University. I retired from university teaching August 2020. I was also an AP Calculus (AB and BC) Reader...

I have a PhD in mathematics from Iowa State University. Besides my 5 years as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, I have 32 years experience teaching university math courses professionally. I taught at a variety of schools, including University of Akron, Northeastern U., Iowa State U., Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Morehead State U., Transylvania U., U. of Kentucky, and Kentucky State University. I retired from university teaching August 2020. I was also an AP Calculus (AB and BC) Reader (National Exam grader) for 8 years up to and including 2020. (When I retired, AP amicably ended my Reader career as well. That is their rule.)

As a student I did undergraduate work at Kent State University and the University of Akron. I did graduate study at the U. of Akron, Northeastern U., M.I.T., and Iowa State U. In the process I passed Master's and PhD qualifying exams in Abstract Algebra, Analysis, and Foundations (Mathematical Logic & Set Theory). My Master's paper was on Non-standard Analysis, and my doctoral research focus was in Foundations.

I have taught university courses in College Algebra, Trigonometry, Finite Mathematics (including Linear Programming and Probability), Discrete Mathematics, Precalculus, Calculus (1, 2, 3), Differential Equations, Partial Differential Equations, History of Mathematics, Dynamical Systems, Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra, Set Theory, Logic, Linear Programming, Operations Research, Complex Variables, Advanced Calculus, and Real Analysis. I also taught Intro to Celestial Mechanics, and Intro to Astronomy (the Solar System) at a Community College .

My all-time favorite mathematician is Euler.

My brother has been tutoring for Wyzant for several years, and urged me to do the same. I love mathematics, so perhaps I am the tutor you seek. If my profile interests you, please contact me and we'll see if I can help you with your math needs.

Approved Subjects

Calculus

Calculus

I taught Calculus 1,2, and 3 (Multivariable Calculus) at the university level many times, in Ohio, Massachusetts, Iowa, Indiana, and Kentucky. In addition, I was an AP Calculus-AB and -BC FRQ Reader (I.e., national exam grader) for 8 years (including 2020, when for the first time the grading was done online). I also taught university courses in Differential Equations, Advanced Calculus, Complex Variables, Real Analysis, and Intro to Celestial Mechanics, so I have a good idea what Calculus is preparing students for. I love the subject and its history.
Differential Equations

Differential Equations

I taught Intro to Differential Equations many times, the last being Spring 2020. I have also taught higher-level courses in Partial Differential Equations, Systems of Ordinary Differential Equations (including Dynamical Systems), and Celestial Mechanics (which mathematically was at the DE 1 level). As a student I took Differential Equations, Partial Differential Equations, Systems of ODEs (which included Dynamical Systems), and Mathematical Physics I and II (which was mostly concerned with solving DEs).
Discrete Math

Discrete Math

I taught Discrete Math multiple times at the university level, so I am very familiar with its content. In addition, I also taught individual courses which included the specific topics of Sets & Counting (Permutations & Combinations), Probability, Logic, Sequences & Series, and Graph Theory, all of which topics are typically introduced in Discrete Mathematics.
Finite Math

Finite Math

Over my career I taught Finite Math multiple times at the university level. I am very familiar with its content. In addition, I also taught individual courses on the specific topics of Math of Finance, Linear Programming, Matrix Algebra, and Sets & Counting, all of which topics are introduced in Finite Mathematics.
Linear Algebra

Linear Algebra

Having taught across the undergraduate mathematics curriculum, I am familiar not only with the content of the sophomore/junior Linear Algebra course, but also with the many applications of the material in Multivariate Calculus, Differential Equations, Finite Math, and Linear Programming. My first Linear Algebra course was what caused me to major in math. I love the topic.
Precalculus

Precalculus

In my career I taught Precalculus many times, as well as College Algebra and Trigonometry. In addition, I taught the Calculus sequence 1,2,3, and know what specific topics are needed from Precalculus for the next level.
Real Analysis

Real Analysis

I earned an MS in mathematics and a PhD in mathematics. On my way I took a one-year course in Advanced Calculus ("baby" Real Analysis), a one-year-course in Real Analysis, a one-year course in Functional Analysis, a one-semester course in undergraduate Complex Analysis, and a one-semester course in graduate Complex Analysis. I passed MS and PhD qualifiers in Analysis. As a professor, I taught Advanced Calculus, Intro to Real Analysis, and Intro to Complex Analysis many times.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

During my career I taught many courses in Trigonometry and Precalculus, In addition, I taught Calculus 1,2,3, and both Differential Equations and Complex Variables, all of which routinely involve techniques of Trigonometry. From solving triangles to Fourier Series, I know a lot about the subject, and should be able to help you with any concerns.

Highly Knowledgeable and professional.

Mr. Andrew is an exceptional AP Calculus teacher. His deep understanding of the subject, coupled with a clear teaching style, makes complex concepts accessible. He inspired me to love math and foster a supportive my calculus in upcoming college path.

Fantastic BC Calc Tutor

He is an amazing tutor. My daughter uses him every time she struggles with her BC calc homework or needs help studying for a test.

Great tutor!

Mr. Andrew is patient and explained things well. He went through the steps carefully, and helped me figure things out. Looking forward the next session. Highly recommend!

TINGTING, 12 lessons with Andrew

Patient and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Went over some Calc 2 beginning topics. I appreciate that he allowed me the space to try and figure out problems before jumping in to help. Very friendly, very knowledgeable, and came prepared to work on what I had sent the night before. All around great time.
