About Clayton


Bio

I have always loved math, and understood why others despise it. My father programmed computers, my mother programmed students as a math teacher. They taught me well and inspired within me a love of learning. The eldest of four spanned over seven years, I was helping my siblings with their homework starting in elementary school. I have graduated from UMBC with a B.S. in mathematics, and am currently teaching at Meade High School. I have tutored college students through the university for...

I have always loved math, and understood why others despise it. My father programmed computers, my mother programmed students as a math teacher. They taught me well and inspired within me a love of learning. The eldest of four spanned over seven years, I was helping my siblings with their homework starting in elementary school. I have graduated from UMBC with a B.S. in mathematics, and am currently teaching at Meade High School. I have tutored college students through the university for calculus and precalculus. I know the difference between doing work for a student and actually helping someone learn difficult material. I worked at Mathnasium for two years. I have thousands of hours of experience teaching math of all levels. I feel best when I see eyes light up with understanding, and I strive to make that happen every day.

Amazing!

I have had several tutors work with my son and none of them compared to Clayton! He was able to explain the complex math in a way that my son could understand. He went from failing tests to being in the top of his class and now has other students asking him for help.

Excellent Tutor!

Clayton helped my daughter come up to speed quickly on fundamentals of Pre-calc, providing her great support. On a "night before the test" he was patient, helpful and gave her the knowledge and confidence going in.

Knowledgeable tutor who came on short notice

My son needed an "emergency" tutoring session prior to an important calculus exam. Clayton responded very quickly and we were able to set up a tutoring session the following day. He helped my son understand some difficult concepts.
