Experienced Math Tutor Specializing in Clear,Engaging Instruction

Tommy P.

I am a dedicated and enthusiastic tutor currently pursuing a dual degree in Secondary Education-Mathematics and Mathematics, with a minor in Computer Science, at Temple University, graduating with a distinction in Mathematics in December 2025. My robust academic background includes comprehensive coursework in Modern Algebra, Calculus, Linear Algebra, Number Theory, and graduate-level Real Analysis and Abstract Algebra. Additionally, my proficiency in programming languages such as Java, Python, and Mathematica allows me to offer students clear and practical explanations of complex mathematical and technical concepts.

My experience as a Mathematics Tutor at Temple University's Math Consulting Center since August 2022 has provided me the opportunity to assist over ten students simultaneously in mastering challenging topics. I specialize in adapting my teaching strategies to individual student needs, providing targeted support through one-on-one sessions, and guiding students in effective problem-solving techniques. Furthermore, as a Teaching Assistant in Linear Algebra through Temple’s Peer Teachers Program, I conducted weekly study sessions, collaborated closely with faculty to enhance instructional methods, and created supplemental resources tailored to diverse learning styles.

My tutoring philosophy centers on patience, clarity, and practical application. I strive to create a supportive and engaging environment that encourages students to ask questions and deepen their understanding of mathematics and computer science. Through my role leading a Math Bootcamp partnership with Philadelphia High School for Girls, I've successfully prepared students for academic success across Algebra, Geometry, and Precalculus. I am committed to fostering academic growth and confidence in all my students, empowering them to achieve their educational goals.
