I became a teacher, and now a devoted tutor, because I am passionate about helping others, and find it fulfilling to share my love of math and science with my students. I like to begin by asking my students about their background and experience with the given subject, to get a sense of their comfort level and preferred learning style. My teaching philosophy centers on building confidence and independence in my students. I aim to create an environment where learning is both effective and enjoyable, especially in subjects that some find challenging. My most essential goal as a teacher, and as a tutor, is to get you to a place where you can confidently do the work, and learn on your own.

I have 15 years of classroom teaching experience in math and science, as well as five years of tutoring in person, and almost a year online with Wyzant. I have taught Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Algebra II, and Calculus, as well as Physical Science, AP Physics, and Introduction to Programming. I have tutored students from a wide range of backgrounds, across all time zones, in high school level math and science classes, as well as college students taking Calculus, Physics, and Computer Science. I’ve also helped numerous students with the math portions of the SAT and GED, offering both specific strategies to solve problems efficiently, how best to use Desmos, and also guidance about the most effective way to improve their scores.

We'll build your ability and understanding together regardless of whether you are just getting started, or just need a little help to get back on track. Let’s find a way to make math and science more approachable and rewarding. I’m here to support you.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have taught Algebra to middle school and high school students at a variety of levels for many years.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

Algebra 2 is a bit of a mess and can include many distinct topics including conic sections, rational expressions, vectors, matrices, trigonometry, logarithms, probability, and complex numbers. I've taught Algebra 2 as a mathematical modeling course, and I've also taught it as a practical course with a focus on applications of topics. I can guide any student through these topics, as I have done so before.
Calculus

Calculus

Calculus is critical because it lies at the heart of physics and engineering. Although the core ideas are simple, it quickly builds in its complexity, and the symbols can be intimidating too. I can offer you guidance through this math with the patience of a teacher, and the pragmatic mindset of an engineer.
Computer Science

Computer Science

Beyond the classes I took relating to computer science I got through my engineering education, I spent 10 years as a software developer. I've programmed in C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python and Perl. I've taught introductory level classes to programming using Javascirpt, and Python, and an intro to engineering using Arduinos.
Geometry

Geometry

For some, geometry comes as a great relief from algebra, because everything has a drawing. For many, geometry is a difficult challenge because it's the first math where you are expected to make proofs, which means to truly do math for the first time in your life. It requires a blend of logical and creative thinking. I love to help people make that leap - it's the best part about teaching geometry.
Physics

Physics

I love physics, and I love helping people to understand physics. I've taught math and science in the classroom for 15 years at various levels. Most recently I taught AP Physics last year. For many students, the real challenge of physics comes from reading a physics problem and abstracting it - turning it into equations, then solving the equations to produce an answer. It seems to always make sense when someone else explains it, but how do you even learn to work it out on your own? This skill of abstraction goes beyond memorizing a series of steps, and you may find yourself in a physics course with out much practice with this skill. I can help to guide you as you learn how to break down problems on your own.
SAT Math

SAT Math

Over my teaching career, I have helped many students prep for the SAT math section. Whether a student is trying to get a perfect score, or simply trying to achieve a minimum score, I tailor my lessons to meet my students where they want to go. I can help students with filling in gaps, as well as test taking strategy.

Patient, Thorough, and Knowledgeable

Chad was a great College Physics 1 (Calculus Based) tutor! He was thorough in his explanations and patient with me while I followed along. I can tell he has great teaching skills and has heaps of knowledge in math and physics. Not only that, but he went the extra mile in figuring out a particularly difficult question! I highly recommend booking a session with him!

Ethan, 2 lessons with Chad

highly recommend

Chad has been tutoring my son in AP pre calculus, SAT prep and honors physics. He has been incredible, he has received all As on his tests and his SAT score went up over 100 points! Highly recommend!!!

Jennifer, 9 lessons with Chad

knowledgeable and patient tutor

My son has been working with Chad to review material in his Physics honors class. Chad has helped him to feel confident in his understanding of the material and he has been doing well in the class. We recommend Chad!

Robyn, 3 lessons with Chad

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Chad was very knowledgeable and patient. My son, a high school freshman taking math enrichment outside of school, found Chad’s explanations clear and easy to follow. He helped my son work through problems he had been struggling with, and my son truly enjoyed working with him.

Jennifer, 1 lesson with Chad

Very easy to work with, patient and knows the subject

Very easy to work with, patient and knowledgeable with geometry. He has been so flexible with scheduling and has been super helpful is giving my daughter the confidence in the subject.

Charu, 61 lessons with Chad

Knowledgable and patient

My duughter worked with Chad on 8th grade math and he helped her prep for a test. She said he was patient, knowledgable and explained things in a way that made sense.

Jessica, 1 lesson with Chad

Very Patient!

Great weekly sessions so far with Chad! We can our student confidence and approach improving! We are hoping that he continues to improve his confidence. Thank you, Chad!

K, 12 lessons with Chad

Great tutor!

He helped my daughter with math SAT prep. Along with walking her through the SAT questions she found problematic, he boosted her confidence with some kind words that were much appreciated. I think she needed the confidence boost even more than the math help. Thanks.

Michael, 14 lessons with Chad

Algebra II

He was patient and incredibly helpful, he even sends follow-up notes post session! He earns an A for his extra efforts!

Aidan, 14 lessons with Chad

Excellent and knowledgeable teacher in geometry!

Chad was available last minute, and my son really liked him! Chad helped my son with some geometry questions he had, and he did a great job explaining all the problems. He was very knowledgeable, and help my son gain confidence! Thank you very much!
