PhD Math Tutor | Calculus I & II, Applied Calculus, College Algebra

Clint M.

I am a PhD mathematician and former university instructor with extensive experience teaching and tutoring college-level mathematics, including Calculus I, Calculus II, College Algebra, and Brief Calculus. I taught at Arizona State University and worked in the ASU Math Tutoring Center, helping students succeed across many courses, including many international students.

I specialize in helping students clearly understand difficult concepts and improve their performance on exams. My tutoring focuses on step-by-step explanations, identifying where confusion begins, and building strong fundamentals so students can solve problems independently and with confidence. Many students come to me feeling stuck or overwhelmed, and we work together to make the material clear and manageable. I offer focused exam preparation sessions as well as ongoing weekly support, helping students stay on track, and make consistent progress. I also provide support beyond sessions by creating customized practice materials—and sometimes interactive computer-based tools—so students can continue improving between lessons.

I have extensive experience teaching/tutoring college algebra, precalculus, differential calculus, integral calculus, applied calculus (aka business calculus, calculus for life sciences, or survey of calculus), math modeling, quantitative reasoning, intro to statistics, and data analysis with Excel and SAS. I help students understand topics like implicit differentiation, the chain rule, and real-world applications with clear examples.

I work with AP Calculus AB/BC students and welcome IB Math AA and AI students, including those needing help with the IB Math IA (Internal Assessment) and their mathematical exploration. I have significant experience working with international students and understand the challenges of learning in a second language.

If you are looking for a clear, patient, and highly experienced online math tutor for Calculus, Algebra, IB math, or advanced math courses, I would be glad to work with you.
