Does learning algebra, geometry or trigonometry seem daunting? I can help you have fun mastering them.

Throughout my professional career, I've benefited from a mastery of quantitative analysis and a pragmatic influence derived from it. I took algebra beginning in 5th grade and scored an 800 on the math section of my SAT and 790 on the similar section of the GRE. Algebra provides a solid foundation for important aspects of business and life for years to come, and it prepares a person well...

Does learning algebra, geometry or trigonometry seem daunting? I can help you have fun mastering them.

Throughout my professional career, I've benefited from a mastery of quantitative analysis and a pragmatic influence derived from it. I took algebra beginning in 5th grade and scored an 800 on the math section of my SAT and 790 on the similar section of the GRE. Algebra provides a solid foundation for important aspects of business and life for years to come, and it prepares a person well for more advanced mathematics courses (which I teach too).

I also help with communication skills and standardized test preparation. Writing concisely and effectively is important, as technical knowledge needs to be distilled into a comprehensible summary for decision makers. My work requires proactive responses to stress similar to those of SAT or ACT preparation, and I understand how to achieve success under pressure.

I enjoy helping students learn well the subjects I teach, and I look forward to sharing this passion with your family. If you work diligently alongside me, you'll achieve your academic goals with confidence.

Brent is a great motivator, and my son went from F to A.

Brent structured studies with my 13 year old son based on my son's personal style of learning. His individual approach was the key that brought fast improvement of grades. Brent taught the main concept that allowed him to solve many similar problems, rather then repeatedly making him follow steps without understanding. My son has a very short attention span and gets bored instantly, so it is important to make lesson interesting for him. Brent also inspired my son to be proud of his work and his grades. It was very important for him to show Brent that he was trying and he is capable. Brent is a great motivator, and my son went from F to A.

Exceptional teacher

My daughter went from a C to an A in a high school, honors geometry class with this tutor. Brent is extremely intelligent and also can teach in a manner which the student understands. He hones in on the student's weakness in the subject and strengthens it until it is mastered. He makes the leaning seem easy and is fun to work with.
