Academically, I hold both Bachelor’s and Masters’ degrees in Mathematics.
For tutoring, I have taught and tutored high school and college math courses for over twenty years. The students have had a range of personalities and math abilities, including students with special needs.
Since the start of the pandemic, I have tutored more than 1200 students. I also taught Math at the high school level, and was asked to teach Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus during my first year. I continued to teach both the AB and BC versions of AP Calculus for a decade.
A major factor in my success as a tutor/teacher is a keen “reading of students”, and how to quickly engage them. This includes:
• Setting the student comfortable and at ease during introductions and the start of the first session.
• Asking frequent questions of students at an appropriate level to enable them to answer correctly. This confidence building leads to a greater sense of engagement and trust between student and teacher.
Mathematics and Teaching have always been passions of mine. If you decide to hire me, I am very confident that I will be a valuable resource for your son or daughter.
Please contact me to see what a difference I can make in your child’s learning! Let’s continue to use Wyzant’s Messaging Tool to communicate. Thank you for this opportunity!
Best regards,
Peter O’Neill

Peter helped raise my daughter's grade and understanding!

Peter started tutoring my daughter in the second semester of Calculus. She was not doing well and very frustrated in the class. But after Peter started working with my daughter once a week, she began to understand the material better and feel more confident in the class. He was patient and thorough in his explanation of the problems. The final quarter she ended with an A+, which brought her up to a solid B for the class. I am very thankful for Peter's tutoring service to us.

1st lesson success

Thank you Peter. Appreciate your patience and attention to Aidan’s individual needs. He contacted us before hand to make sure he was covering the topics we needed help with so not to waste time. Great 1 st lesson

Very knowledgeable and patient

When I first started taking lessons from peter, I didn’t know what to expect, but then he took his time to make sure I understood my homework that I needed help with. Peter is very patient and when he teaches and explains, he makes sure you understands it. He knows exactly what he is doing, that’s why I am coming back to him for my next class. Thank you Peter.
