Teaching methods:
My goal: students truly understand what is happening and why each step is taken

Experience: 8 years at campus of Penn State teaching Algebra, Trigonometry, 3 semester levels of Calculus, and over 9800 Wyzant hours.

Especially in Math, it is very important to DO the work and to stay up to date. Just watching a teacher work through a problem does not necessarily mean the student can do the problem on his/her own. So, it is very important to practice problems on their own.

In tutoring sessions, we typically go through problems, and I guide students if needed. The goal is for students to eventually go through problems independently WITH UNDERSTANDING. We can cover concepts that we find that need to be reviewed, too.

Thank you for your consideration.

This includes AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, and college-level Calculus 1, 2, and 3. Many students have received 5's on their AP Calculus AB or BC exam after receiving the benefits of my tutoring. We can target specific MCQs or FRQs as we go to ensure students are mastering AP Calc concepts, so they can be fully ready for the AP exam in May. I have over 8 years of teaching experience at Penn State University where I taught various levels of Calculus. While I was studying for my master's degree, I also led Calculus Help sessions to help students who came for tutoring. Before Wyzant, I had experience in tutoring various levels of Math at a tutoring center, which included some Calculus. Whatever the Math subject, my goal is to have each student truly UNDERSTAND what is happening and why each step is taken, so they can excel greatly in their classes AND their AP exams.

Incredible Tutor!

I was hesitant about trying online tutoring, but online sessions with George P. are SO much better than having in-person sessions with someone else. George P. knows it all when it comes to math, and he goes out of his way to make sure you do too. I reached out to him for calculus 2 help this semester, but I will definitely be contacting him again for help in calculus 3 in the fall. Working with him has been incredibly helpful, and I would absolutely recommend him!

Michelle, 18 lessons with George

knowledgeable and supportive

The most knowledgeable pre-calculus/calculus tutor you can find here. George has been very supportive and helpful. My daughter’s grade definitely has gone up since she worked with George. George cares about his students and would jump in and try to help whenever he can. Really appreciate his help.

Excellent Tutor

George is an excellent tutor. Explains Calculus concepts very well. My son finds his sessions very helpful in reviewing concepts he struggles with. I highly recommend George and his schedule works great for us.

one of the best

We’ve been looking for tutors for my daughter on math.. tried a few different tutors, George is the best so far! He was able to quickly identify areas my daughter had problems with and gave her tips and solutions and provide questions she can practice on, making sure she understands.

Sarah , 17 lessons with George

Well informed and great at explanations

He’s very committed to his work with math. In my specific class, Algebra 2, he has made it an easy process to break down and understand the practice material before I have to take my exam.

Excellent Tutor

George made sure that I understood all the topics before moving on and helped me a lot! George was extremely knowledgable and explained everything so that I could easily understand how to do a problem.

George is AMAZING!

His expertise, patience and guidance helped my son achieve 5 on his Pre-Calculus AP Exam. George was able to consistently offer his expertise working through complex calculus problems. We deeply appreciate his knowledge, flexibility and guidance!

Dedicated tutor

George spent countless hours to help me get through an accelerated Calculus class. The proof was in how I did on the exams.

Daniel, 158 lessons with George

Great teacher!

George helps me stay on top of my assignments in an accelerated Calculus class, which would be difficult to do without his help.
