About Zach


Bio

I received my PhD in math from Texas A&M University in College Station specializing in Several Complex Variables. While there I assisted with student learning in four big ways. First, I lead recitation, a class for students to repeat and practice the ideas discussed in lecture. The best way to learn math is to do math and with this in mind, I provided students with worksheets, quizzes, and ask them many summarizing questions to make sure they understood the techniques and main ideas....

I received my PhD in math from Texas A&M University in College Station specializing in Several Complex Variables. While there I assisted with student learning in four big ways. First, I lead recitation, a class for students to repeat and practice the ideas discussed in lecture. The best way to learn math is to do math and with this in mind, I provided students with worksheets, quizzes, and ask them many summarizing questions to make sure they understood the techniques and main ideas.

Second, I volunteered in Texas A&M's one-on-one math tutoring service - a Hands-On learning environment that helps students solidify their understanding. Three, I actively hosted or assisted with office hours for students to seek addition math help. Four, I graded a lot of homework. Through grading assignments and activities, I learned to identify the common pitfalls for each math course. In many courses, students have thanked me for my help and this specific guidance. Courses that I've specifically assisted with include: algebra 1, geometry, algebra 2, precalculus, calculus, multivariable calculus, ordinary and partial differential equations, introduction to proof, linear algebra, real analysis, abstract algebra, complex analysis, topology, number theory, graph theory, combinatorics, mathematical biology, dynamical systems and nonlinear equations, probability, and statistics.

Since graduating I’ve begun many projects. I've started my own business called ThatMathTutorGuy, an online exclusive math tutor service. I've worked with a company called Numerade to make math videos that provide full solutions to textbook math problems. I've also worked with the company 7EDU to prepare high school students (grades 8-12) for standardized testing such as SAT, ACT, AMC 12, and AIME.

I’ll end with two tutoring philosophy thoughts. 1) To learn math, you need to do math, so do lots and lots of examples and take ownership of those ideas! 2) To be a good teacher, be calm, patient, clear, go slowly, and know your stuff!

Knowledgeable Tutor

He taught me line integrals, and the lesson was great, from the theories to executions, even after the class he let me ask more questions. Will definitely come back for more!

Nabeel, 1 lesson with Zach

very knowledgeable

He was able to help me realize my mistake in under 10 minutes for my discrete problems, which is impressive because other math tutors have taken way longer.

Bayli, 6 lessons with Zach

Great Teacher for College level Physics

Zach is wonderful and did a great explaining the concepts. He really know his physics and is able to explain them with ease

Joni, 5 lessons with Zach

excellent tutor for Calculus

If you are struggling with calculus like I am I highly recommend this tutor. He is very professional and patient. Made the lessons easy to understand.

Landon, 1 lesson with Zach

Excellent Tutor!

Before meeting Zach I was in search of a tutor who's schedule was flexible and who went into detail explaining the different concepts I was learning in class, thankfully Zach met both of those qualifications. After I leave each session, I feel that I understand the material better and even if I don't I am comfortable with messaging Zach for further guidance and he always responds within the next hour. Would definitely recommend! Thanks Zach!

Collum, 23 lessons with Zach

great teacher

Loved how he taught me and I understood everything pretty well I’ll be needing his help more often and hope to see him next time.

Great Tutor for Math Majors!

I am in my last semester of college before I graduate with a bachelor's degree in math. I thought my last semester would be easy since I signed up for a history of calculus but it has proved to be challenging. To make matters worse, life events caused me to fall behind on the first five homework assignments. The due dates were all approaching quickly and I needed help quickly. I reached out to Dr. Zach for assistance. He has been very accommodating with my schedule and has explained all the concepts thoroughly despite the concepts being kind of all over the place. He's also been polite, professional, and very patient - an all-around awesome tutor! If you need an amazing tutor to help with upper-level math, I highly recommend Dr. Zach!

Jasmine, 8 lessons with Zach

Good tutor and flexible with time

Zach has been a great tutor so far. He explains AP calculus concepts/problems thoroughly to make sure I actually understand, no matter how much time it takes and has a flexible schedule, really showing his dedication and patience. Thanks a lot!

Nancy, 10 lessons with Zach

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!
