Bio

Hey! My name is Colin L., and after eight years of teaching high school math (ranging from Algebra 1 to Calculus) and STEM subjects (ranging from CAD to Robotics to AP CSP and CSA), I've decided to start my own teaching practice. I'm flexible with my scheduling, and able to work well with students of all skill levels and learning styles.

Hey! My name is Colin L., and after eight years of teaching high school math (ranging from Algebra 1 to Calculus) and STEM subjects (ranging from CAD to Robotics to AP CSP and CSA), I've decided to start my own teaching practice. I'm flexible with my scheduling, and able to work well with students of all skill levels and learning styles. Additionally, from my experience teaching in a high-needs district, I'm sensitive to the variety of student backgrounds, and understand the importance of patience and providing plenty of time for students to practice material on their own.

As far as my qualifications are concerned, I have a BS in Mathematics (also a BA in English!) from Villanova University, as well as an MA in Education from Rowan University. I have been tutoring for almost a decade, now, and have coached students to scores of 5 on the AP Calculus AB and BC exams, 1600s on the SAT, and perfect scores on the math section of the ACT.

As someone with both a degree in math and a degree in teaching, I'm able to tutor students in mathematics ranging from Algebra 1 to as high of a level as Calculus, and to deliver this material using research-backed pedagogical methods. I'm also experienced with programming in Python, Java, and JavaScript, and am more than happy take a look at any code you've produced for a project you're cracking away at.

If, having read all that, you believe that I'm someone who can help you grow, then please reach out. I look forward to meeting you (whether online or in-person) and helping you get wherever it is you want to go.

Great tutor!

Colin has been a great tutor for my statistics class. He breaks everything down in order for me to understand and he has great patience! I feel open enough to let him know when I don’t understand something and he starts from scratch. He has saved my life with passing my business stats class!! Totally recommend booking a session with him! He responds quickly and is very flexible with the schedule.

Great ACT Tutor!

Colin has been extremely helpful in helping my younger sister prepare for her upcoming ACT. We weren’t sure where to start but he has walked her through every step of the way for every section of the ACT (English, Reading, Science, Math). I would 100% recommend Colin to anyone studying for the ACT.

Knowledgeable and professional

Knowledgeable and professional when encountering my son. Definitely worth the time it took to connect and communicate via the app. Wish I’d found out about wyzant sooner. Was recommended by seasoned Baltimore area teachers.

Very patient and willing to help!

I have worked with Colin several times now, and each session has been quick but thorough, and he has consistently been willing to help with any questions, assignments, or projects I have needed help with. He is very patient and does a great job moving through material to help you understand the problems.

Patient and Knew his Subject

He worked with my daughter on AP STATS. She feels armed and confident for her next test. We will be using him again. He was patient and accessible. I wish we would have reached out sooner to support her.

Colin L. Is GREAT!

Colin took his time to talk through my goals and expectations when I brought him really odd dataset I was struggling with at work. We talked through possible solutions, and he was patient in breaking down each step for my understanding. I wish I’d had a tutor like Colin when I was in school!
