BYUI math grad! I help all levels of math be made undersatandable!

Joshua S.

I am a recent graduate from BYU-Idaho with a Bachelor's degree in Mathematical Sciences. I have taken many college-level math classes, and my overall GPA is 3.97. Math has been my best subject, and I’ve always liked to understand why things are the way they are in math. On top of that, I love to help others understand as well.

Over the years, I have accrued 5+ years of tutoring and teaching experience. When I was in high school, I started tutoring math to other high school students. So, I have one year of tutoring experience in high school. In college, I continued to tutor high school students, but mainly focused on tutoring other college students. I had 3 years of tutoring experience when I was in college and have tutored since. In college, I took tutoring classes, worked part-time as a math tutor in the BYUI Tutoring Center, and was a TA for many classes at BYUI. Some relevant teaching courses that I have taken are a few math education courses at BYU-Idaho. These have helped me learn how to become a better math tutor and teacher. I believe I am able to help anyone succeed in their math studies, and I am willing to be patient with whomever I help.

The way I tutor is based on helping the student learn and discover the beauty in math. I ask useful questions to help the student think for themselves, and I work on math problems with them. As a tutor in college, I have received many evaluations from the students and other tutors, and they have provided strictly positive feedback.

I am qualified to tutor/TA for about 30 college-level math courses. Some examples of classes I am available to tutor for high school and college are Algebra classes, Statistics, Geometry, Precalculus, Trigonometry, Calculus 1/2/3, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra, Real Analysis, etc. If you have any math classes you are wondering if I can tutor, please reach out.
