About Scott

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.

Photography

I have been an outdoor school/event photographer for 3 years. I have experience with several Canon DSLRs using natural as well as off camera lighting (flash). I specialize in outdoor school photography where we take students through a variety of poses and expressions. The trick is finding the right spot with even lighting and a nice background. Then you just pop a little flash, look for it in the eyes and you're set!

The ACT math section has a lot in common with the SAT, both of which I have been helping students with for years. Doing as many practice problems as possible is the best way to get familiar with the questions. We'll discuss different approaches that can be taken to solve the different types of problems and reinforce any concepts that are weak or may have been missed by the student along the way.

Chess

Chess

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.

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.

Jenn, 2 lessons with Scott

Helpful math explanations

My son will post separately yet, he said that Scott really did a good job of helping him understand why he got some Math questions wrong. We will continue to try to book him for more SAT help.

Knowledgeable and helpful

Scott was great! He helped my daughter catch up and better understand her pre calculus homework. He was patient and explained it in a way she could understand.

Pre Cal Tutoring

My son’s usual tutor was in available so a couple of parents recommended this website and couldn’t be more happier with the results. We will continue to use Scott for Math related tutoring in the future.

Mike, 1 lesson with Scott

My kid likes him, and that's nothing to sneeze at

Scott is competent, friendly, patient, and communicative. My kid is picky about people who are instructors/tutors/etc., but she likes Scott's demeanor. I recommend him.

Sequoia, 1 lesson with Scott

Excellent

My daughter had a great experience and will definitely use Scott as a tutor again. She is working on her ASVAB to join the Navy and looking for more tutoring to help her. She came back understanding her problem areas and what she needs to work on in the future
