Do you feel like you have a bunch of facts bouncing around like marbles in your head? Sometimes, what you are learning can seem hopelessly unrelated to what you already know or what you have yet to learn. When you turn to a tutor like me with experience in a subject area, I can help you see how everything fits together, expediting your learning. I can coach you like a fitness coach, encouraging you to reach your goals. Tutors are great not just for struggling students but also for overachievers who need a guru to help guide them in their pursuit of knowledge.

Let me help you or your child raise their sights of what they can conquer academically.

Education:
- Bachelor’s Degree from BYU—Idaho in Biochemistry (2016)
- Certificate in Data Analytics from UVU (2020)
- M.S. from Georgia Tech. in Bioinformatics (2024)

Math Background:
- I have taken math classes through real analysis, including calculus, linear algebra and combinatorics.
- I formerly tutored in the math lab at Utah Valley University before graduating.
- I am CRLA Level 2 certified.

Math Philosophy:
I am passionate about staying within the rules of mathematics and making sure each step is logical. I am also passionate about finding new ways to solve a problem. I love being able to help someone master a topic, not because they have finally gotten used to duplicating practice problems, but because the underlying theory is now clear to them.

Statistics Background:
- I have taken statistics classes such as AP Statistics, Design of Experiments, Regression, Mathematical Statistics, and Multivariate Statistics.

Data Science Background:
- I am proficient in Python, R, SQL, and Linux.

General Tutoring Methods:
Teach me! In my experience, students benefit tremendously from this role reversal. My role as a tutor is accomplished if the student needs me less and less.

Great teacher!

Justin P. saved my math 1050 grade. He was always very patient and helped me not only with doing the math, but also with understanding how it works. He was always prepared, and brought a graphing calculator + math 1050 textbook to every session. He would also prepare color coded notes for me during the lesson, which were also very helpful.

Knowledgeable and concise

Justin provided a very helpful review of chemistry quiz questions for my 10th grade son. He asked questions while explaining methods and principles to make sure he was engaged and following. We are scheduled for more sessions through the next month to cross the school year finish line with confidence.

Knowledgeable tutor

Justin taught me Pre-calc/Trig this year. He's very knowledgeable and has so much patience in teaching. He explains everything in detail and makes me work on extra worksheet problems as well. Also, after every class he shares the problems that we solved during class.

Knowledgeable, patient and wonderful

Justin was very patient and knowledgeable and was able to connect with my son in the very first lesson. He was able to explain the concepts in a way that no other tutor was able to explain. I have no doubt that my son will be able to excel with Justin and we will definitely be signing up for more lessons.

Quick and great explainer!
