About Robert


Bio

I have been tutoring Math part-time since my retirement in 2015. The decision to tutor Math has been a highlight of my retirement to date. I’ve tutored subjects ranging from Algebra to pre-Calculus, for goals ranging from passing the GED to completing college math requirements, for students ranging in age from teenage to my age(!), in-person and on-line. For every tutoring opportunity, I promise to first help decide whether I am a good fit for the student, and then to commit to preparing for...

I have been tutoring Math part-time since my retirement in 2015. The decision to tutor Math has been a highlight of my retirement to date. I’ve tutored subjects ranging from Algebra to pre-Calculus, for goals ranging from passing the GED to completing college math requirements, for students ranging in age from teenage to my age(!), in-person and on-line. For every tutoring opportunity, I promise to first help decide whether I am a good fit for the student, and then to commit to preparing for and following-up on each tutoring session. And if the student is motivated (or motivate-able!) and responsible, you can be assured of productive sessions. If you would like to learn more about my experience, capabilities, and/or limitations, please contact me.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

My BSEE degree required math through four levels of Calculus and Algebra is a building block for successful understanding of Calculus. In addition, the majority of my math tutoring experience has been for high school and college students taking Algebra 1 classes.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

My BSEE degree required math through four levels of Calculus and Algebra is a building block for successful understanding of Calculus. In addition, the majority of my math tutoring experience has been for high school and college students taking Algebra classes of varying complexity.
Geometry

Geometry

Very current in the material. Started tutoring Geometry in spring of 2019 and since then, Geometry tutoring has accounted for nearly 35% of my total tutoring.
Precalculus

Precalculus

Pre-calculus introduces a number of concepts that are elaborated on in Calculus and that are essential to Electromagnetic Theory and Physics. In addition to these courses, for my Electrical Engineering degree, I had to take four levels of Calculus iand I got A's and B's in all of them.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

Whether your need is understanding trig concepts appearing in Geometry, Algebra 2 or in a dedicated Trigonometry course, I can help. Trigonometry combines the physical dimension aspects of Geometry with the numeric techniques taught in Algebra. I enjoy helping students expand on their prior math knowledge and take some mystery out of what many consider a difficult subject.

Very helpful

I’ve had a lot of tutors on Wyzant and it is so hard to find someone good, but this was great! Thank you so much!

Patient tutor

My son took 11 tutoring sessions for his 9th grade Geometry class, and thanks to Mr. Robert, my son finished with a 94 average! The tutor was patient, clear in explanations, and really helped boost his confidence. We are so grateful for the support — this success would have been hard without it. We highly recommend him!

great teaching for an online format

I appreciated how Rob allowed my dtr to think through her math answers. Great back and forth interaction that kept her engaged, and thinking. He did it make her feel bad for any wrong answers, and challenged her to work through the process.

Patient and Great

Robert really helped me with explaining problems I wasn’t understanding. We did solid review and I got a really good score on my test primarily because of him. I appreciate him for taking time to make a last minute spot for me as if he hadn’t, I don’t know how I would have performed on my test. I would recommend Robert to everyone! Thank you Robert!

Exceptional Tutor Who Makes a Difference

Mr. Robert has been an exceptional tutor for my son Adi in Precalculus. Adi absolutely loves working with him and has made remarkable progress since starting his lessons. Once Adi began having daily sessions with Mr. Robert, he became more confident in tackling problems on his own, yet he continues to request sessions because of the invaluable support he receives. Mr. Robert’s lesson summaries are always thorough and insightful, making it easy for me to see the progress Adi is making. For example, in one session, they went over systems of equations involving linear, polynomial, rational, and square-root functions. Adi was able to understand the concepts and solve additional problems independently. In another session, they reviewed polynomial division, solving polynomials, and constructing polynomial expressions, which left Adi feeling ready for his unit test. Mr. Robert’s ability to explain complex topics clearly and reinforce key concepts has been instrumental in Adi’s success. Whether it’s discussing Pascal’s triangle, synthetic division, or solving radical equations, Mr. Robert ensures that Adi grasps each topic thoroughly. He also provides helpful reminders and clarifications, such as the definition of an inverse function and Descartes' Rule of Signs. Adi's improved understanding and confidence in Precalculus are a direct result of Mr. Robert’s dedicated and effective teaching. I highly recommend Mr. Robert to anyone looking for an outstanding math tutor. His expertise, patience, and encouraging approach have made a significant difference in Adi’s academic journey. Thank you, Mr. Robert, for being an amazing mentor!

Robert is great and very thorough!

Robert uses a number of different techniques to engage and does a great job working through questions and challenges with a student until they understand! He is patient and explains concepts thoroughly. He is also flexible and works with the material assigned to a homeschool student well. Finally, he works very well with our schedule.

great tutor

Robert helped me work on a math project. He was very patient and helped me understand some confusing parts. It was much easier once Robert explained it to me. Thank you very much.
