I bring 15 years of experience coaching and tutoring Math for all types of standardized tests, homework help, and test/quiz prep. I also provide practice tests and personalized curricula to achieve the best possible results through efficient, targeted learning.

I excel at helping my students understand math in a clear and encouraging way. I walk them through problems step-by-step, pinpoint weaker or missing concepts, and strengthen them immediately. I don't just cover concepts in isolation; I make sure they understand how different concepts connect and how to choose the right ones to solve problems.

For test prep, I have a large collection of practice tests at different difficulty levels so my students can build skill, confidence, and test readiness.

For honors or advanced-level classes, I further teach advanced problem-solving strategies and techniques to help my students stay at the top of the class.

My strong and extensive teaching experience will help you excel and stand out from the crowd!

ACT Math

ACT Math

I've successfully helped numerous students raise their ACT math scores by 30 - 50% in 1 to 2 months (10 - 15 sessions), especially those who put in the diligent hard work following my plan. I've successfully helped numerous students raise their SAT math scores by 50 - 150 points and ACT math by 30% - 50% in 1 to 2 months (10 - 15 sessions), especially those who put in diligent hard work following my plan. During the first few sessions, I will evaluate each of my student's math level and learning style and come up with a personalized lesson plan. The lesson plan will be adjusted whenever I see a need to best fit students' learning progress. I use diverse teaching methods because each student comes with unique math background, learning style, and pace. For students struggling with math, I will focus on rebuilding their foundational knowledge and reinforcing difficult areas. For students already excelling in math, I will teach them advanced problem-solving techniques, as well as how to tackle unfamiliar or never-seen-before problems. Most important of all, we all understand practice is the key to success in math. In order to get a decent score, we must practice as many different problem types as possible so that we increase the chance of seeing similar or even identical problems on the actual test. Also, practicing strengthens our knowledge and sharpens our skills, which helps us to solve problems more quickly and accurately, even under stress. In general, depending on students' math proficiency and the length of prep time, I will conduct a personalized comprehensive review to build a solid foundation in math, and then work toward getting a decent or perfect score.

Recommended, Patient Math Tutor

I was really struggling in SAT Math, I was below average and was struggling to break the 500s. I was tutored by Charles Chiaho C. for six weeks and was able to improve my score to a 640, a total of 90 points in math only! He helped me to achieve something in six weeks that I had been trying to accomplish for 2 years. I am SO thankful I chose him to be my tutor. He was always patient no matter how many times I needed to review a subject (and boy did I need to). He is great at explaining difficult and tired subjects in a way that I can easily understand. I would 10/10 recommend him as a math tutor, and I have no doubt that if given more time, we could've raised my score even higher.

knowledgeable tutor

Charles was very patient and knowledgeable with my 14-year-old son who has been struggling with geometry. I’m really glad we found him and plan to continue working with him.

Daphne, 5 lessons with Charles Chiaho

thank you!

My son is a man of few words but after our first session he said that it really helped his understanding of the topics being covered in his pre calculus class. We will be reaching out again for another tutor session!
