Patient and Friendly Math Tutor | Building Confidence and Problem

Emmitt C.

Hi! I'm a mathematics tutor with over five years of experience helping students strengthen their math skills, improve their grades, and build confidence in problem-solving.

I graduated from the University of Washington in 2024 with bachelor's degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics, earning a 3.88 GPA. I'm currently pursuing a Master's degree in Computer Science at Georgia Tech.

Since 2021, I've tutored over 30 K–12 students in mathematics, primarily working with students in grades 6–11. Most of my experience involves private, one-on-one tutoring, both in person and online, although I've also worked with small groups. Through individualized instruction, I've helped students overcome difficulties with mathematical concepts, including helping two students improve their course grades by a full letter grade.

I specialize in high school mathematics, including Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Precalculus, Trigonometry, Statistics, AP Calculus AB, and AP Calculus BC. I can also assist students with Pre-Algebra and foundational math skills.

My tutoring approach focuses on adapting each session to the student's individual needs and current coursework. I typically begin by reviewing the concepts, definitions, and assignments covered in school that week. From there, I help students work through homework problems, clarify challenging topics, and prepare for upcoming tests through guided practice problems.

I believe that understanding the reasoning behind mathematical concepts is more valuable than simply memorizing formulas. My goal is to help students develop the problem-solving skills and confidence they need to succeed independently in their math courses.
