About Scott


Bio

Hey there! My name is Scott. I have 3 younger siblings that I've seen through many years of homework, and I have experience teaching 11-16 year olds as well as adults. I've always had a love for mathematics, completing Calculus AB in high school and getting a 780 on my math SAT. Even now working at a climbing gym, I relish when I get the opportunity to flex my algebra skills.

Hey there! My name is Scott. I have 3 younger siblings that I've seen through many years of homework, and I have experience teaching 11-16 year olds as well as adults. I've always had a love for mathematics, completing Calculus AB in high school and getting a 780 on my math SAT. Even now working at a climbing gym, I relish when I get the opportunity to flex my algebra skills. My job for 6 years, a Rehabilitation counselor and Mental Health Case Manager, involved teaching independent living skills in a classroom/home setting to individuals of all different ages and skillsets. This also required meeting individuals where they're at, and learning what they need to focus on and what would be most useful for them to practice. It brings a smile to my face when the individuals I'm teaching have grasped a new concept and will be able to apply it to their life in a useful way.

I have completed mathematics courses through Calculus AP and Statistics AP in high school, where I also achieved a 780/800 on my math SAT. I am able to teach a mathematics skill through the methods provided in the book, and I also encourage strategizing, brainstorming, and making real-world connections. This gives the student the best chance to learn and apply a new mathematics tool that they may be able to apply elsewhere.

I'm looking forward to being your tutor!

Very Helpful and did not Rush

My child needed to review for an exam and learn a new concept. Scott accomplished both in one lesson. He did not Rush, he was Clear and my child was comfortable with the method of teaching. Scott enjoys teaching and does it well. We will continue with his tutoring.

Great Experience - Would Highly Recommend!

Scott helped my twins to study for their Math SAT. They were both found Scott to be very patient, responsive and knowledgeable. He was always available to answer any questions they had and scheduling lessons with him was stress-free. They both walked into their test feeling confident and prepared. After working with several tutors through the years, we had the best experience with Scott.
