I am a retired high school math teacher, available for tutoring high school or college students. Prior to retiring, I taught Mathematics on a full-time basis for 28 years. The courses that I taught ranged from IB HL Math (Higher Level), Calculus, Pre-Calculus, Statistics, all Levels of Algebra and Financial Algebra. My tutoring experience is extensive. I have successfully tutored many students from 9th grade through college level. I am patient, reliable, and professional. My main goal is to build the students self confidence in their ability and allow them to do their best on assignments and assessment.

While I enjoy tutoring all subjects my specialty is tutoring IB Math including both levels (HL and SL) and both curriculums (AA and AI). I taught IB HL Math my last 10 years of teaching which included moderating the IA's.
Subject areas: Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Algebra/Trig, College Algebra, Trigonometry, Precalculus,
AP Calculus (AB or BC), Calculus I, Calculus II, and Business Calculus.

Education: BS(Industrial Systems Engineering): Ohio University

GPA: 4.0 in math courses and 3.59 overall
MA (Mathematics Education) Western Governors University
Inspirational Teacher Award for Excellence in Teaching - Gund Foundation

Prior to education I worked for 17 years in the IT industry doing consulting, programming and network installations. This included 7 years having my own IT consulting company. My interest in my children’s education brought me to the classroom at age 38. The best move I ever made. The joy I have for working with young people and my gift of math and my interest in Analytics and Finance has made education a perfect fit.
As a retiree, a bit of part time tutoring has been a continuing gift of education to me.

Easy to work with

Ray was a great help to my daughter. She needed someone with deep knowledge of the IB test format. Ray was easily able to tap into her existing knowledge and help her apply it to the test. He filled in gaps without her feeling inadequate. Ray is a great teacher and clearly loves the subject.

Excellent First Session

Ray was able to review my daughter’s homework and quickly/effectively help her understand the challenging calculus concepts she was struggling to understand. He was patient and helped her feel more confident. Highly recommend!

Excellent tutor!

I have a son who is a sophomore and started the year having trouble in Algebra II. After failing the first test, I signed him up for a tutoring session with Ray. He was very flexible and accommodating with our busy schedules. My son felt comfortable with him right away. Ray is patient and creates an environment where his student feels comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. He turns those mistakes into learning opportunities. My son has spent an hour per week with Ray, and I have seen his test grades improve significantly! He has has had a test and a quiz since working with Ray. He earned a 94% and a 92%, respectively. Significant improvement! I am very thankful to have found him and look forward to better grades in the future.

Knowelagble and patient tutor

He is very smart and can explain in different ways if you don’t understand the topic. Very generous and over explains to ensure you understand. Works with students a lot so he’s aware of common mistakes we make and how to help us fix them.

Very patient and understanding tutor.

Raymond has been tutoring me for my AP Statistics class and has been going over how to do the problems presented to me in class. Raymond has been very patient in his teaching and actually makes sure that I understand what he's teaching. So far, I've had two classes with him, and I've already developed a better understanding of the material that I've been struggling with in class.
