Hello, my name is Spencer and I have been tutoring students in Mathematics for over 10 years. I have a bachelors degree in Math Education from CSUSB and an Associates in Computer Programming from Norco College.

I believe that mathematics is an empowering skill whose relevancy in everyday life needs to be re-emphasized by instructors. Some enjoy math for its own sake (myself included), and it is our responsibility to teach others to find use for and joy in math that is relevant to their lives.

I am currently accepting new students in all secondary mathematics subjects, as well as ACT and SAT test prep.

You can send me a PM requesting appointments or if you have a math or study strategy-related question.

Great tutor

My son has not been tutored in the past and felt a little uneasy at first. Spencer did a good job making him feel at ease. The concepts he covered were clarified very well and my son felt more confident after the tutoring session. Thank you, Spencer!

Anna, 1 lesson with Spencer

Skillful and extremely helpful

We practiced making objects and using common shortcuts. It was effective and exactly what I was hoping for! Spencer is excellent at the material we did during our lesson. He answered all of my questions as they arose and guided the lesson smoothly! :)

Wildly Thorough Tutor

I reached out to Spencer in the early morning and not only did he respond promptly, but he commenced to help me until ~5:30 am. FIVE AM. He was very knowledgeable, caring, dedicated, and very cognizant to details I even missed. Highly recommend. His effort is unparalleled.

Naya, 1 lesson with Spencer

Knowledgeable

He went over c# programming. He is very good and patient. His goal is to make sure you understand the material. We went over my assignments and even more in-depth of programming.

Spencer is a rockstar.

I ran into multiple problems with Blender and Spencer took over!!! He clearly is a master at Blender. I am no slouch, he ran circles around me. He is a patient teacher and most importantly and excellent listener. A very patient teacher. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Frederick, 1 lesson with Spencer

Effective and Knowledgeable Teacher

Spencer helped me to understand material that I had gone over for the past two weeks in lecture in the span of two hours. His mind moves very quickly, but he knows when to slow down and uses your time very efficiently and asks you what exactly you need help with. Hes not only very knowledgeable in the material but he was great in teaching me how to apply concepts of calculus into economics. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that needed help with calculus. Huge thanks to him!
