Dear Students / Parents

I am an experienced, highly qualified, expert math tutor, having taught both in a classroom and one-on-one. I am also the author of more than 20 Math learning books including "Math and Critical Thinking Challenges".
I have been helping students overcome their fears and doubts about mathematics for over ten years. I provide an individualized custom learning plan and the personalized attention that makes a difference in how students view math. Though math is my specialty, I also have extensive experience tutoring students in SAT and ACT prep.

My love of teaching comes from a lifelong love of learning. With a double Master’s Degree, I know that hard work and dedication to learning can pay off. As a college instructor and tutor for the last few years, I have had the pleasure of helping numerous of students realize their own potential and see their grades and test scores improve.

Working with me as your personal tutor is a pleasant experience. I enjoy teaching students of all ages. From my experience, each student has unique talents, inherent ability, and the potential to learn. They generally do not have any difficulty understanding the materials, they only need to find their best learning style and a strong motivation, which I hope to help them discover in my classes.

My focus is always on understanding concepts rather than simply knowing how to get the answers. I am able to identify gaps in student understanding and come up with a plan to fill those gaps and lead the student to success. Whether we are working on Pre-Algebra or college level mathematics, one of my goals for each session is to keep the student challenged, but not overwhelmed. I assign challenging homework after every lesson, and provide periodic assessments and progress reports. I will work with my students to find the method that best suits their learning style. I will show them ways to LEARN and not just MEMORIZE math. No matter which subject you or your child is finding challenges with, I will help raise your or his

ASVAB

ASVAB

Over the last few years, I have helped numerous students improve their math skill to prepare for the ASVAB test. I have found my knowledge of advanced mathematics can be directly applied to help potential students achieve their goals in this test. I break down the math part of the exam into efficient and effective test taking strategies so that each student has the best chance of passing the test. Some of my recent students were able to raise their scores by more than 10 points after just a few weeks of tutoring, and now they are joining the army! I begin the tutoring with assessing the student's current math skill by providing several real examples, which have the same types of questions found on the actual test. This is followed by an in-depth discussion of each math topic. Then I focus on the strategies that the student can use to arrive at the right answer in seconds. I also work with students to help them prepare for the ASVAB tests by preparing overview lessons on each math topic, practice tests, and material for further study at home.
Calculus

Calculus

Calculus is the branch of mathematics used to study any phenomena involving change. It focuses on functions, limits, integrals, derivatives, and infinite series. Calculus, especially college calculus, is not an easy course to deal with. Some students find calculus one of the toughest Math courses. But, I can make it simple and easy using step-by-step method and detailed lessons. I have taught several Calculus courses at the college level and understand that often the hardest part of calculus is mastering all the algebra! Often times, students miss something in all Math classes leading up to calculus, and the calculus ends up confusing. I know that once the algebra is done correctly, the calculus becomes more rewarding. When tutoring calculus, I have found breaking down each step in a logical way for students is the best way for them to quickly master the material. I can help you or your student prepare for calculus tests and understand key concepts, including: • Limits • Derivatives • Integrals • Riemann Sum • Chain rule • Theorems of calculus • Inflection point I provide productive and informative sessions for calculus. Years of experience have taught me that providing a personalized lessons and the right match is a critically important step in a successful tutoring outcome. My students thrive in an atmosphere that provides personalized attention, builds confidence, and genuinely advances their academic performance. Sometimes all that's needed is a little personalized attention!

Farsi

Farsi

Fluency in multiple languages is becoming increasingly popular throughout the world. Advancing your career and making your international vacation a breeze are the benefits of being a bilingual speaker. One language that is becoming more popular is Persian (It is called Farsi in Iran and Dari in Afghanistan). There are many reasons for learning this lovely language. At least, learning this language opens doors into an endless treasure trove of history, culture, and civilization. I am a Persian author and I have published more than 20 Farsi learning books. A complete list is available upon request. It's always a great thing to know more than one language, and I can be the tutor to help you with that. Learning Persian language can be a frustrating process. Many learners do not know how to learn Persian properly and quickly. As a result, they waste hours, days, months, or years struggling to improve their language skills. Usually, their progress is slow and painful. Unfortunately, learning Persian language has not been as successful as it should be. In fact, people are dropping like flies from Persian language classes and programs because of the many frustrations and failures they experience during their Persian study. Most of Persian learners who had studied even for several years don’t have a satisfactory proficiency and many of them will never become fluent. I think that the main reason is the teaching method. Therefore, I focus on innovative and effective instructional strategies to keep my students motivated and actively involved in my Persian classes. Whatever is your need or interest, I feel confident in my skills as a Persian teacher, and I can tell you that you are going to enjoy and appreciate my ideas and methods! Here is a summary of my teaching method: In the first step, I help students learn Persian alphabet. At the same time, I present sentences and vocabulary through examples in Persian, and ensures student comprehension through gestures and writing target structures on the board in Persian a
GED

GED

Preparing to get a GED certificate can be overwhelming. That’s where I can help you to save the day. GED Math is the subject that I've spent the most time teaching and tutoring. Over the past few years, I have tutored many students for the GED Math, with great results. I can prepare you for the Math part of the GED exam.

What truly distinguishes my approach to tutoring is a method to academic development at every level that works strategically and efficiently with every student on their individual needs. After years of teaching and tutoring, I have realized that there is not one "approach" that works for every student. Accordingly, importing a one-size-fits-all mode of instruction to tutees doesn’t work. Therefore, I efficiently work with a tutee to determine what is really needed. I focus on teaching the core Math concepts tested, as well as proven time management skill and test-taking strategies that help students find the correct answers quickly and accurately. I create a personal learning plan that fills in the gaps and ensures you get the skills you need not only to do well on the GED Math test, but also to help you do well in college and in the workplace. I’ll provide step-by-step guidance on all important math concepts that you need to know to pass the GED Math Test.

My GED Math lessons are clear and easy to u
Geometry

Geometry

Geometry is the oldest branch of Mathematics, which starts with a straightforward discussion of lines, points and planes … and rapidly becomes more complicated (or “fun,” as I would say) with areas, angles and theorems. If you don’t see the fun in geometry yet - because you are frustrated – I’m confident that I can help. Students learn geometry at almost every grade level. For most students success in math course comes from regular studying and practicing habits. However, after several years teaching Geometry, I have realized that it is the one math class can be tough for many students. Since 2007, I've been able to help hundreds of students learn math and gain a confidence that they never thought possible. My goal is to help my students grasp new concepts, and when necessary, to fill skill gaps that are preventing them from fully understanding new material. Students and parents always tell me that they enjoy my method of teaching and they notice an almost immediate increase in confidence. I've watched many students transform from dreading math to excelling at math. What I do is not magic. It is experienced, a learning plan created for each student that is neither too hard, nor too easy, along with a positive atmosphere and a lot of work on each student's part that makes my lessons work. I’m providing the same instruction and seeing the same dramatic results in students’ progress. I combine hands-on geometry help with interactive lessons to create the right learning spark for my students. Whether you are learning how to identify line segments or use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate sides of triangles, I will focus exclusively on your learning needs and you’ll love watching your grow with confidence with each skill. I’m good at what I do, and I would love to be a resource for you or your family this school year!

The GMAT Guru

If you need help on the quantitative section of the gmat, Reza is your guy. Very patient and excels in explaining each problem.

Addison, 12 lessons with Reza

Knowledgable tutor

I explained to Reza my situation and what I needed. He adapted and discussed just the things I really needed to understand. He also went through other more simple concepts but didn't belabor the point since I knew how to work the problems. My time spent with him was well worth it.

Jenifer, 2 lessons with Reza

Was great...until he suddenly disappeared

Reza worked with our son in 2014. We really loved the work that he was doing with our son. He was very patient, knowledgable and always on time...until he wasn't. He just suddenly stopped coming. He called one night to tell us that he had a family situation come up and that he could no longer tutor for us. This came completely out of left field and definitely left us in a major bind. I could understand if he had a real situation to deal with, but he gave us virtually no notice at all.

Maria, 7 lessons with Reza

Very patient, kind and knowledgeable

Pre-calculus exam preparation. Reza obviously knew his stuff but more importantly, he knew how to explain complex ideas in simple ways. He focused on making sure you understood the underlying logic instead of trying to simply solving for correct answers.

Henry, 1 lesson with Reza

My daughter had a great experience

Reza reviewed the fundamentals of Algebra II with my daughter. She thought he was very nice and very patient. We will definitely use his services again.

Monica, 20 lessons with Reza

Very patient tutor!

Reza is helping study for the math portion of the PSAT. He is very knowledgeable and patient with our son.

Rea, 29 lessons with Reza

Excellent instructor

I had been looking for a language instructor for many years and did not find what I was looking for. I recently tried WyzAnt and found Reza N. He was exactly the person I needed. He is a very knowledgeable and patient instructor. I can work at my own pace and he allows me to pause the lesson when I recall some detail or question so I can address it immediately. Then I can concentrate on the lesson again. Reza is an excellent instructor but he is also a kind person. I hope he will be helping me for many years. When I feel comfortable with my language skills again I would like to explore some math topics. He is very versatile and knowledgeable in several subjects.

Mark, 7 lessons with Reza

This Tutor is 2nd to none.

I studied for the GMAT on my own for several months. I learned a lot, but I wasn't doing well on the quant section at all. I've been seeing Reza for a few weeks and my math deficiencies are coming up and being addressed. We're making significant progress every week and I'm confident that I'll do well when I retake the exam.

Brandon, 14 lessons with Reza

Great tutor!
