About Edward


Bio

I genuinely love this work: watching a student go from hesitant to confident, building conceptual understanding while improving execution, and getting to know my students. I stay curious about the math and regularly take the exams I tutor. (800 Math on the Digital SAT, 170 Quant on ETS GRE practice tests.)

I specialize in IB Mathematics (AA & AI through HL), AP Calculus AB/BC, AP Statistics, AP Precalculus, and math test prep for SAT/ACT, SSAT, GRE Quant, and the TMUA. My approach is...

I genuinely love this work: watching a student go from hesitant to confident, building conceptual understanding while improving execution, and getting to know my students. I stay curious about the math and regularly take the exams I tutor. (800 Math on the Digital SAT, 170 Quant on ETS GRE practice tests.)

I specialize in IB Mathematics (AA & AI through HL), AP Calculus AB/BC, AP Statistics, AP Precalculus, and math test prep for SAT/ACT, SSAT, GRE Quant, and the TMUA. My approach is supportive but rigorous — whether we're pushing toward top-tier results (99th percentile, a 5 on AP, or a 7 in IB) or strengthening foundational skills.

My process is systematic and thorough. Every student gets a personalized tracker so we know what's been covered, where the gaps are, and what to focus on next. For test prep, we use up-to-date official IB, College Board, and ETS materials. I keep my student load small to personalize practice resources and ensure I'm well-prepared for every session. My focus is math, though I can provide resources for SAT English and GRE Verbal and often coordinate with additional coaches.

About Me

I'm an adjunct faculty member in the math department at Seattle University and a recent graduate of the Yale School of Management. Before business school, I spent four years in LA public schools, where I taught all AP math topics, and five years at the American International School of Quito, where I chaired the math department and taught IB Math through HL. I also served as lead math instructor and curriculum coordinator for Zorro SAT Test Prep. Outside of math, you might catch me teaching a salsa class around town.

Outstanding Math Tutor

Our son was behind on many math topics in 12G IB AI HL math as for a few months he had decided he was going to go ahead with AP’s instead. When he then decided to pursue the IB, he had missed a lot of the explanations. He started lessons with Edward and within a couple of months he ended up getting the outstanding results of a 7 (paper 1), 6 (paper 2) and & (paper 3) on the IB AI HL math of May 2025. Not only was it a success academically but he genuinely enjoyed his lessons with Edward. A very intelligent tutor who not only explained very well and at the perfect speed but also made the lessons very engaging. He was also able to identify the gap areas. Always reliable, in a good mood and with a good sense of humour as well.

Very knowledgeable and skilled tutor

Thanks to Edward, my daughter , a junior in high school scored 1500 in SAT and a 5 in AP CALC. He helped her identify topics where she needed help and was very thorough and patient in his approach.

Edward is beyond a 5 star tutor

Edward is currently tutoring my son in IB Math. The improvement that has been made has been incredible. My son says that Edward is very adaptable & understanding with being able to figure out how a person learns and retains the information. His knowledge, attitude and personality make the sessions a breeze. Not only is Edward extremely knowledgeable, he is also great with communication, checking in on the student and suggesting ways for them to independently study that suit their needs. We are so thankful to have found such an amazing tutor and wish we had started with Edward sooner!!! Seriously, do not hesitate- book a session!!!

Kimberly, 53 lessons with Edward

Experienced and patient tutor for IB Math HL Analysis & Approaches

Ed has been a wonderful tutor for our child and has really helped with their grasp of the sometimes challenging material in this course. Ed clearly has a lot of experience with the course content and does an excellent job of explaining the concepts to students. We're so glad we found him!

Improved from B to A in a few weeks.

Mr. Edward improved her grade in IB HL maths from a B to an A in only a few weeks of classes. For example, he taped a video of solving a maths problem my daughter asked because that was in between the scheduled classes. And he has been very responsive to my daughter between class questions. He is also easy to communicate with and has been very flexible to accommodate our scheduling conflicts. Update: The recap of each lesson afterwards is really helpful! Update: She looked happy after the session (instead of looking tired) because she was able to understand the concept and fell how helpful it was, that said a lot about the teacher!

Sam, 44 lessons with Edward

patient + well-organized

As someone who was a bit daunted by how broad the GRE quant section was, Edward made everything seem simple and approachable. He thoughtfully planned out our lessons and communicated very effectively. I never felt overwhelmed and even enjoyed learning math after a bit (never before been the case)! After just a few sessions, my GRE quant score bumped up 4 points, getting my my goal score. Would absolutely recommend.

Perfect IB Math Tutor!

Mr. K has far surpassed all expectations I had for Math tutoring in every one of our sessions. Not only is he highly organized, efficient and communicative, his ability to simplify complex mathematical concepts visually and verbally has transformed the way I understand the connections between all my mathematical topics. He helped me prepare for my SL AI Final IB Exam (standard level applications and interpretations) by organizing review sessions for my weaker areas and helping me delve deeper into my conceptual understanding of stronger areas as well. What I like most about working with him is that he pushes you to internalize what's being covered in every session through constant repetition and practice. I truly leave each session feeling like I've achieved something. With that said, I've worked with a lot of different math tutors over the years and I can confidently say that Mr. K embodies a professionalism not easily found nor replicated. And for my fellow IB students out there, if you are looking for a tutor who is knowledgeable about the final exams, he is a perfect option!

A Game-Changer: Tutor for GRE quant

I have the pleasure of working with Edward for my GRE quantitative preparation, and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I made in my test prep journey. From our first session, I knew I was in capable hands. Edward possesses a remarkable ability to break down complex mathematical concepts into easily digestible chunks. What I appreciated most was his tailored approach to teaching. Instead of employing a one-size-fits-all methodology, he took the time to understand my strengths, weaknesses, and learning style. This personalized approach not only boosted my understanding of the material but also increased my confidence in tackling GRE quantitative problems. Furthermore, Edward's enthusiasm for mathematics is contagious, and his patience knows no bounds. No matter how many times I stumbled over a concept or made mistakes, he remained patient and supportive, providing encouragement every step of the way. In conclusion, if you're seeking a GRE quant tutor (or tutor for GMAT etc) who is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in your success, I can wholeheartedly recommend Edward. With his expertise, dedication, and unwavering support, he will undoubtedly help you reach your goals. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Knowledgeable, helpful and patient tutor

Edward helped my daughter so much with her IB math internal assessment. Going into the lesson, my daughter didn't have a clear understanding of what was expected from the IA. Having taught IB classes in the past, he was familiar with the criteria and was able to give great suggestions that helped her gain focus, direction and organization. He also helped her determine which mathematic applications would work best to achieve her goal. Excellent tutor. Thank you Edward!
