About Ethan


Bio

I've been tutoring for 20+ years. I spend most of my time tutoring at the university and high school levels but have experience teaching a huge variety of materials in a huge variety of contexts, including both private and group classes.

I specialize in most flavors of math, and physics; GMAT, GRE, and SAT prep; Python and machine learning. I regularly teach chemistry, LSAT prep, reading comprehension, and many more subjects. I’m genuinely interested in… everything, and one of my favorite...

I've been tutoring for 20+ years. I spend most of my time tutoring at the university and high school levels but have experience teaching a huge variety of materials in a huge variety of contexts, including both private and group classes.

I specialize in most flavors of math, and physics; GMAT, GRE, and SAT prep; Python and machine learning. I regularly teach chemistry, LSAT prep, reading comprehension, and many more subjects. I’m genuinely interested in… everything, and one of my favorite things to do is learn something new in order to teach it.

A recent student in a group math class wrote this:
“You are an incredible tutor. In our classes you reminded me of the professors in movies that inspire kids to do the best they can. Your pure joy and passion for math, your ability to adapt to everyone’s level without making someone feel ignorant, your patience without getting frustrated and your ability to handle a class with such different personalities in a calm and collected manner was impressive and inspiring. Thank you.”

I studied math and physics at the University of Oregon. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics and a GPA of approximately π^2 / 3 in 2007. I completed a series of tutoring courses and obtained a CRLA ITTPC certification in 2005. More recently (in 2022), I went to an intensive data science bootcamp with a company named Jedha in Paris, France, for which I’m now a TA. I’ve also self-taught various math, economics, programming, biology, law, and chemistry materials in order to help my students with them.

Finite Math

Finite Math

Finite math is some of the most fun (and most confusing) math to learn - it sits apart from the "typical" math trajectory of algebra -> calculus, and you can get to the outer reaches of the theory much more quickly than with calculus, for example. This makes it an interesting subject, and simultaneously easy to approach and hard to master. I studied applied mathematics at university. I've taught math of various flavors for the past 20+ years. I took 4th-year finite math classes in the final year of my degree. I've taught hundreds of students finite math for their high school and university classes, and for GMAT/GRE preparation.

Excellent Tutor

Ethan saved my son’s semester. He was patient and carried more than what was asked. He went above and beyond to keep him motivated and build up his confidence in his class. My son will soon graduate thanks to Ethan. Words cannot be enough to describe and thank him for his expertise, generosity, and commitment to helping our son. Thank you!
