Bio

Since 2003, I've been referred to as the superhero of tutoring, swooping in to save students from the mathematical abyss! My superpower? Guiding them through the treacherous lands of pre-algebra all the way up to the daunting summit of Calculus I, with a chill and laid-back attitude. No need to worry about extra homework from me (unless, of course, you're a glutton for punishment) – I know most students are already up to their necks in it.

Since 2003, I've been referred to as the superhero of tutoring, swooping in to save students from the mathematical abyss! My superpower? Guiding them through the treacherous lands of pre-algebra all the way up to the daunting summit of Calculus I, with a chill and laid-back attitude. No need to worry about extra homework from me (unless, of course, you're a glutton for punishment) – I know most students are already up to their necks in it.

I simply swoop in, help them make sense of the academic chaos they're dealing with, and fill in those pesky knowledge gaps. If they're lost, I'll be their trusty GPS, guiding them back to familiar territory and building from there.

Oh, and did I mention? I'm also a chess wizard! I've taught countless young minds the mystical art of this ancient game. To avoid sending them into a spiral of confusion, I start with a simple game of "Chess Lite," using only a few pieces, before revealing the full extent of the game's delightful complexity.

I love teaching chess to new players. By only introducing one piece at a time, newcomers to the game are never overwhelmed by the complexity of the game. Usually we start with a "pawn battle" and add an additional piece each game.

Low pressure with great results

Scott has been an amazing help for my son! Since Scott has started working with him, his fundamental understanding of Algebra 1 has increased substantially...along with his test scores! Scott has a low pressure method of teaching, which my son responds very well to. He met my son where he was at, and personalized his lessons to address his specific areas of need. He is very intuitive and extremely knowledgeable. The best part of all is that my son's confidence in his ability has increased. He looks forward to meeting with Scott every week. I highly recommend Scott to any parent looking for thorough, but kind guidance for their child.

Scott is the best!!!!

I cannot express enough gratitude for Scott's incredible dedication and expertise as a precalculus tutor. From the moment my son started working with Scott, his understanding and confidence in the subject skyrocketed. Scott possesses a rare gift for breaking down complex concepts into manageable chunks, making them accessible and understandable for his students. Thanks to Scott's exceptional teaching skills, my son's now approaches precalculus with enthusiasm rather than apprehension. I wholeheartedly recommend Scott to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated tutor. He is, without a doubt, the best teacher ever!

Great lesson

Scott was so helpful prepping my daughter for her Algebra 2 test. He was patient and explained things well. Thank you Scott! We would recommend him and use him again.

An excellent tutor

Scott worked with my daughter on her pre-calculus and was clear, encouraging, and knowledgeable. She learned a lot and enjoyed the experience. We will definitely use Scott again as the semester goes on.

Helped with midterms

Scott has helped immensely with my review for my midterm a day prior. He is very good at explaining, helps make sure that you understand concepts easily, and gives examples alongside functions to clear any confusion. He is encouraging and always asks if you’re ready before moving on to the next concept.

Kitchie, 4 lessons with Scott

Knowledgeable and Helpful

Scott helped my son understand material for his precalculus test. He was able to explain things when 2 other tutors confused my son more than helped. My son hasn’t gotten his test score back yet, but he felt confident going into the text.

Laura, 13 lessons with Scott

Knoledgeable and patient tutor

Scott helped my son review and apply pre-calculus lessons to solve practice problems for his test preparation. My son went from giving up to confident and performing well on his test with a solid foundation to problem solving in preparation for the next step.

Kind, patient, and knowledgeable

I have always struggled with math. I recently started to stuggle in my college pre calculus class and after one session with Scott, i felt more comfortable. I look forward to meeting with him again.
