Hello! I am Andrew, a seasoned math tutor for a variety of topics including math, test preparation, writing and college exploration.

About My Background: I hold an undergraduate degree in Applied Mathematics with a graduate degree from Southern Oregon University. I have been a tutor since I was in high school, and have a passion for helping students however I can. I have worked in education for 15 years, including 10 years of academic advising, transfer support, admissions counseling and degree planning.

About My Tutoring Style: I focus on real conceptual understanding, not memorization. When I work with students, I tend to work through any materials they provide from their respective course, along with examples that I keep for additional learning. This is to help shift the conversation from tutor-led to student-led, allowing students to leave the session confident in their ability.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Andrew taught me Statistics I and II, going from a review of the basics all the way up to where my class currently was. He is great at explaining the material in ways that I am able to understand, and he is very patient with explaining concepts as well. Excellent tutor.

Patient Tutor!

We were incredibly fortunate to find such an outstanding math tutor for our son this year. He was not only extremely smart and knowledgeable, but also patient, kind, and encouraging throughout every session. Unlike other tutors we’ve worked with in the past, he never made our son feel embarrassed or discouraged when he struggled with a concept. Instead, he took the time to explain things carefully until our son truly understood the material. What stood out most was his genuine dedication to our son’s success. He always provided thoughtful feedback after sessions and even recognized when extra help was needed, willingly spending additional time to make sure our son felt confident and comfortable moving forward. His support made a tremendous difference both academically and emotionally. He was truly amazing, and we feel incredibly blessed to have found him this year. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a compassionate, dedicated, and highly effective math tutor.
