I’m Jose Pablo. I have an undergraduate degree in computer science and an MBA. I specialize in tutoring math, grades 3 - 9. I am a Manager at a major transportation company and proud father to three children, ranging in age from 10 to 17. I have always enjoyed assisting them with their math homework and fostering a love of the subject with them. Our household firmly believes in the importance of a strong math foundation. When I was a young adult, I spent time substitute teaching, where I enjoyed many diverse experiences in education. I also spent time working as a counselor at a local university, traveling to various schools and teaching kids about the value of higher education. Lastly, I tutored other students in college, focusing on math and computer science.

During tutoring, I get each student to walk me through their thought process to ensure they properly understand the methods used to solve a problem. It’s not enough for me to explain it; I want each student to be able to work a problem and explain the process they’re using to solve it. This can confirm to me that they grasp the concept.

I also incorporate real world examples into problems, especially in math. Solving for x can get boring, but trying to figure out your win/loss ratio on a video game, or figuring out your batting average keeps the subject interesting.

The most fulfilling part of tutoring is witnessing the lightbulb moment when a student masters a concept or overcomes a struggle. Helping kids learn different ways to solve a problem is not only rewarding but fun, as I get to see firsthand how the child puts it into practice independently.

Algebra 1

I have tutored my older two kids who are now in advanced math as a freshman and 6th grader. I was a tutor in college and have a lot of experience working with kids. I have a computer science undergrad along with an MBA. College courses included Calculus 2, graduate level statistics classes, along with linear algebra and physics.

Elementary (K-6th)

I was previously a substitute elementary, middle, and high school teacher. I have an undergraduate degree in computer science and an MBA. During my graduate degree I took several education courses as electives. I love helping kids learn! One-on-one tutoring is one of the best ways to help kids grasps concepts. I specialize in helping students understand concepts while avoiding doing the work for them. Reviewing homework and reworking missed test questions can help ensure a full understanding of the material.

Knowledgable and patient tutor

Jose prepared my 8th grader for an Algebra 1 exam. Jose is great. He is friendly, patient, clear, and empowers the child in his learning. I highly recommend him.

Knowledgeable and versatile tutor

From Mr. Lopez, I'm learning that there's more than one way how to solve math problems successfully. I'm also learning how to expand my math skills and how to communicate more readily.

Excellent tutor

Jose helps review and explain math topics to my 6th grader. He makes sure that he understands everything prior to moving on to a new topic and explains in details so my son gets. We’ve had 3 lessons so far and will continue use Jose as our teacher.
