About Stephen


Bio

I have about 10 years of professional tutoring experience, both in a tutoring center helping three students at once, and for years as a private tutor. I love the practicality of tutoring one-on-one in my client's home, but am flexible and have experience online as well.

I'm a hard worker, and love to push my limits (for instance, on a tricky, high-difficulty AP Physics word problem), but I never get bored of helping students see mathematics from a fresh angle, and am especially pleased...

I have about 10 years of professional tutoring experience, both in a tutoring center helping three students at once, and for years as a private tutor. I love the practicality of tutoring one-on-one in my client's home, but am flexible and have experience online as well.

I'm a hard worker, and love to push my limits (for instance, on a tricky, high-difficulty AP Physics word problem), but I never get bored of helping students see mathematics from a fresh angle, and am especially pleased when someone asks a tough question or tries to think around the standard methods. If you want to question everything, take the time you need to struggle through a topic without feeling rushed or belittled, or just want a deep introduction to even the simplest concepts, we might be an especially great fit.

I've always had a very personal love of math and the sciences, but my degree from ITT Tech is in Multimedia, and creative expression is also a big part of who I am. I've tutored almost every subject offered in most high schools over the course of my life, but I feel that I am best qualified to teach, encourage, and motivate in the areas I love most. I program games for fun, love philosophy and theology (and love God!), and pretty much enjoy working with any subject that I can see from a logical angle.

I find the flexibility of tutoring advantageous to my preferred lifestyle (I'm not someone who loves to rush through things if I can help it), but I take my commitments very seriously, and always give appropriate notice if I need to change my schedule. On the flip side, not having a packed calendar means that I can often accommodate changes in scheduling that my clients request (this usually becomes less so around the busiest times of the academic year).

Please don't hesitate to contact me and put me to the test, and please always be honest with me about how you feel and what you most want from tutoring - honesty is at my core.

Dedicated and passionate about science

Stephen has been great working with my son in physics. This course has been very challenging for him. However; Stephen, has been working long hours trying to help him understand the concept of the content. I am very pleased with my son's progress and enthusiasm to succeed which I believe is being influenced by Stephen's passion for Science.

He just rocks!!!

He has coached me and provided some great advice on different and/ or simplified way to approach word problems. Most of all....he is encouraging!

Great experience!

Stephen was able to meet us and tutor my son within 24 hours. He connected with my son and they made great progress in today's tutoring session. We have a short window to catch my son up in his pre-calculus class and I am confident Stephen will see it through and get Mason where he needs to be!

Excellent Math Tutor - Highly recommend

Mr. Stephen arrived at our house and immediately went to work with our son on getting him through a long math assessment packet. He worked alongside our son through each problem and helped him along by suggesting various methods he could use to get the correct answer by choosing more efficient methods than the ones my son was used to. We initially were going to use him for just a few occasions when needed, but we've decided that he would be an asset to have on a weekly, or semi-weekly, basis to keep our son at the top of his game in his math classes. Mr. Stephen is high energy, exceptionally articulate, and makes learning math fun.
