Experienced Math Tutor | Pre-Algebra, Algebra & Geometry

Andre A.

Effective tutoring starts with understanding how a student thinks, not simply showing them the correct answer. This is proven in my 10+ years experience tutoring. I primarily focus on Math from elementary through High School but also tutor science, psychology, and writing.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology, while also studying writing and graduating with Latin honors. I taught Middle School for several years, but now primarily tutor and substitute teach, giving me regular experience with different grade levels, learning styles, curricula, and classroom expectations.

My academic background has given me a strong foundation in learning, communication, and critical thinking, while my years of tutoring and classroom experience have taught me how differently students can approach the same problem

When tutoring, I focus on helping students understand why a method works rather than simply memorizing steps. I ask questions, break difficult problems into manageable pieces, and encourage students to explain their reasoning so I can identify exactly where confusion begins. Depending on the student, we may review missing foundational skills, work through current assignments, prepare for tests, or practice similar problems until the process becomes comfortable. My goal is to create the patient environment they might not be getting in class, where students can ask questions freely, build confidence, and gradually become more independent problem-solvers.

Whether you or your student are looking to catch up, get ahead, or simply feel more confident in class, I’d be happy to help.
