About Zach


Bio

I have a PhD from Texas A&M University where I specialized in Complex Analysis in several variables. I'm passionate about breaking down challenging problems and concepts in ways that are digestible and communicable. I like to work with college students and motivated high school students and I believe that to learn math you must do math! In my sessions, we work many problems and ask digestible and memorable questions.

I have a PhD from Texas A&M University where I specialized in Complex Analysis in several variables. I'm passionate about breaking down challenging problems and concepts in ways that are digestible and communicable. I like to work with college students and motivated high school students and I believe that to learn math you must do math! In my sessions, we work many problems and ask digestible and memorable questions.

The higher the level of math, the harder it is to find a tutor to easily communicate those ideas in a digestible way. 

Classes that I frequently assist with: Pre-Calculus; AP Pre-Calculus; AP Calculus AB/BC; Calculus 1, 2, and 3; Linear Algebra; Differential Equations; Complex Analysis/Complex Variables; Abstract Algebra/Algebraic Structures; Graph Theory; Real Analysis; Statistics; Probability (introductory level and integration-based theory).

Classes I assist with but less frequently (due to less demand): Combinatorics; Partial Differential Equations (exclusively the heat equation, wave equation, and laplace equation), Number Theory, (Point-set) Topology, Mathematical Biology, Signals and Wavelets and Fourier Series, Chaos and Dynamics.

Please note that I typically do not assist with graduate level classes nor problem solving preparation.

Calculus 3 with Zach

This semester I was struggling through a Calculus 3 college course. About halfway through the semester, I enlisted the help of Zach. Zach has helped through challenging problem sets and test preparation on a week-by-week basis. He is very knowledgeable on all of the topics my class has gone over and more often than not is able to explain the concepts in a helpful and easy-to-understand way. Every session I feel like I understand more about everything we went over. Most importantly, Zach has taught me the process and given me good strategies to understand mathematics better! I definitely recommend him if you are struggling in any math class (especially if you are not really a math person like I am) as Zach has made learning math not only fun but also relatively easy once you get into a session with him!

Helped explain efficiently

I was last minute cramming for my test and he helped a lot! He helped me with optimization which was a big part of my test! He also helped a lot with definite integrals

Janice, 1 lesson with Zach

Knowledgeable and patient

Zach is very patient and explains complex questions in an easy-to-follow way. He also responds very quickly after class by sending me the whiteboard notes. He answered all my questions, and we used the one-hour tutoring session very effectively. I really appreciate his help!

Ray, 1 lesson with Zach

very knowledgable

Zach set the pace of the lesson based on the student's comfort level and was very effective. We hope to have more lessons scheduled with him in the near future

Review for AP Pre-Calculus Tutor

We are incredibly grateful for the support and expertise Zach provided over the past two days. His clear explanations, patience, and deep understanding of AP Pre-Calculus made a huge difference in a very short time. Concepts that once felt overwhelming suddenly made sense, and the boost in confidence was immediate. Zach has a remarkable ability to break down complex problems and guide students through them in a way that truly sticks. We’re so impressed with his teaching that we’ve decided to continue working with him for the rest of this school year and plan to use him next year for AP Calculus. Highly recommend Zach to any student looking for effective, reliable support in math!

College Calculus III

Zach worked with me before my Calculus III final. He was very knowledgeable, patient and explained topics very clearly. He provided lots of examples and well structured notes. He also made sure I understood the foundations of each topic before moving on to more advanced problems. Thank you Zach.

Jim, 7 lessons with Zach

Helped me catch up on missed calc classes--knowledgable and nice

Zach taught me applications to the Taylor series. We also looked at how to evaluate an infinite sum by comparing it to known Taylor series. Zach is very nice and patient.

Kimberly, 2 lessons with Zach

An excellent educator with the best mathematical depth

Zach was consistently an excellent communicator and educator throughout our dozens of sessions. You'll find Zach invests in his students and utilizes technology effectively. Even more impressive is Zach's mathematical depth. This depth is one of the reasons I got an A on my undergraduate (math) senior thesis. I know at minimum, Zach completed a year of graduate complex analysis and then wrote a Ph.D. thesis in complex analysis in several complex variables. Furthermore, Zach did his Ph.D. in Mathematics at an institution with two professors who were the country's best at the latter topic which shows that Zach's mathematical depth is the best

William, 27 lessons with Zach

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.

He has me solve problems in multivariable calculus. He has also helped me understand seemingly difficult and abstract linear algebra concepts. So grateful for Zach!

Kendall, 18 lessons with Zach

Extremely knowledgeable & helpful!

Zach is an excellent tutor. He helped me through my multivariable calc class at an Ivy League school. He works through each problem step by step. He is patient and very clear in his explanations. I would highly recommend Zach.
