About Stanley


Bio

I am a college mathematics professor with over 20 years of teaching experience with several distinguished teaching awards. My approach to the mathematical sciences is that, like any kind of language, mathematics must be done in four parts: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Depending on the training, a student can excel at some of these aspects and be weaker in some others. I am able to ascertain very quickly how to maximize a student's learning potential and make significant progress...

I am a college mathematics professor with over 20 years of teaching experience with several distinguished teaching awards. My approach to the mathematical sciences is that, like any kind of language, mathematics must be done in four parts: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Depending on the training, a student can excel at some of these aspects and be weaker in some others. I am able to ascertain very quickly how to maximize a student's learning potential and make significant progress in the least amount of time.

I am able to teach pre-college courses (ACT, SAT, GMAT, MCAT, LSAT, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, analytic geometry, pre-calculus, competition mathematics), college-level courses (discrete mathematics, calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, number theory, statistics, combinatorics, probability, real analysis, complex analysis, abstract algebra, Galois theory, Lebesgue theory, topology, set theory, logic). I can also tutor graduate math courses like functional analysis, measure theory, group representations, and algebraic topology. Please inquire if you are interested in a course or subject not included on these lists.

If you require tutoring in a college or university course beyond calculus (e.g. linear algebra, abstract algebra, topology), please contact me for a lower rate, since there are fewer tutors who have expertise in these subjects and everyone should have access to help.

Everyone struggles with mathematics. Even students who seem to know it all can be given problems that they cannot solve. My tutoring methods are appropriate for students at all levels, from those who struggle with classroom content, to those preparing for standardized tests, to those who wish to excel beyond their classroom experience to prepare for a next course or to compete in mathematics contests. I work best with students who are highly motivated to do achieve, and who are willing to develop the discipline to do well.

The times that I am available are given in Eastern time.

Expert math teacher for higher-level math - thank you

Stanley C. is a math professor at a well-regarded college, and his deep knowledge of math topics and pedagogical experience were evident in the last minute, "SOS" session that we requested to help our daughter with high school AP Calc BC. Despite Stanley being on the East Coast, he was so gracious and genuinely wanting to help that he scheduled a very late (for him) session to help my daughter prepare for a test. Next year, my daughter will have to take college dual enrollment multivariable calculus or linear algebra classes as a high school senior, since her school does not offer math beyond AP Calc BC. We will be sure to reach out to Prof. Stanley for addition help as needed. We are very thankful to have found him on Wyzant.

Very Knowledgeable and helpful!

I working with Stanley C was fantastic! He even added an extra class just so my daughter could turn in her homework on time. He's really good at linear algebra. He helped my daughter finish her homework super fast in just 50 minutes of a 1-hour class. He made math interesting and explained hard concepts so it was easy to understand. He's really helped my daughter, and his availability and quick replies were really helpful. It's clear that he really cares about his students' success. I highly recommend Stanley as a tutor. He's great at math and teaching too. We want to keep working with him for my daughter's math class next semester. He's worth way more than what he's being paid!

great teacher

super knowledgeable, very efficient and easy to work with. would love to continue the lessons for Calc 1 and 2 and later for linear algebra

Excellent Linear Algebra Tutor

Stanley made linear algebra a lot less scary for my daughter. She used to feel overwhelmed in her college linear algebra classes, but Stanley was excellent at explaining concepts in an accessible manner and checking her understanding along the way. His lessons were also well paced and made good use of the scheduled time.

Knowledgeable and helpful!

Stanley is an expert at explaining very complex concepts in a simple and refined manner. He also always encourages self guided learning in which I am stretched to guide proofs/answer prompted questions which allows me to learn the fastest and most effectively.

Very knowledgeable!

Stanley is very knowledgeable and was able to explain things very clearly to my son. He is truly a great tutor and we’ll definitely go back to him for more sessions.

Incredible teacher

He has agreed to help me with graduate level math (convex optimization, linear algebra and vector calculus). I have been extremely thankful for his flexibility, willingness to work with me, and his ability to explain concepts in a digestible manner. Extremely thankful for his help!

Very knowledgeable and

Stanley was a great help to me for Numerical Linear Algebra and Complex Analysis. He explained the topics thoroughly. I understood his explanations better than I understood my professors. I will be reaching out to him again to explain the topics I struggle with.

Very knowledgeable and kind

Stanley responded immediately to my request of getting an urgent lesson with him. Even though he was not available according to his schedule, he provided the opportunity of an urgent lesson. He would go thoroughly through a dufficult subject in advanced probability theory. He would ask me all the time if he should go again through what we were discussing in order to make it clear that the matter was well understood. In particular, I noticed that he would great intuition in approaching a question that was difficult to deal with. I will very probably get an other lesson with him soon. He also showed a great sense of communication and kindness. I am so thankful about the time he spent in discussing an advanced subject relating analysis, topology and probability theory.
