Structured, Step-by-Step Algebra & SAT Math Coaching

Johnny K.

I hold a Master of Science in Statistics from Texas Tech University and a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from Brigham Young University, with extensive academic training in algebra, calculus, probability, and statistical modeling. This strong quantitative foundation allows me to teach Algebra and SAT Math with both conceptual clarity and practical problem-solving strategies.

My formal teaching experience includes serving as a Graduate Teaching Assistant at Texas Tech University, where I was the instructor of record for undergraduate Algebra courses. I was responsible for delivering lectures, preparing instructional materials, grading assignments, and conducting office hours to provide individualized academic support. In addition, I taught Algebra and Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus at St. Louis High School in Honolulu, where I prepared high school students for college-level mathematics and AP examinations in a classroom setting.

Beyond traditional teaching, I bring more than 25 years of professional experience applying mathematics and statistics in advanced analytical and consulting roles. As a senior methodologist and analytics leader, I have mentored and trained over 20 junior analysts, helping them develop logical reasoning, structured problem-solving skills, and confidence in quantitative thinking. A key part of my work has involved translating complex mathematical concepts into clear, understandable steps — an approach that directly benefits students who feel stuck or overwhelmed by math.

My teaching philosophy is structured, patient, and results-oriented. I focus on identifying foundational gaps, reinforcing core algebraic concepts, and teaching step-by-step problem-solving frameworks that students can apply independently. For SAT Math preparation, I emphasize pattern recognition, efficient test strategies, and error analysis to help students improve both accuracy and speed.
