About Scott

I'm available for tutoring Sundays through Thursdays from 12 - 9 or so and on some mornings, generally speaking. I'm happy to meet regularly or on an as-needed basis.

I like to meet on the UW-Madison campus at Union South or at Memorial Library where you can reserve study rooms but I'm open to meeting other places within a 2 mile travel radius of the capitol.

As for my background, I earned a BS in math from Madison in 2011. As a student I tutored calculus in the UW's Mathlab for a couple of years and then went on to grade papers for the math department. I graded the modern algebra sequence of courses 441,541, and 542. I've been doing some private tutoring since then.

I usually work with UW-Madison students and sometimes advanced high school students in AP Calculus AB or BC.

If we meet, I suggest bringing some problems to work on that you've already attempted or a list of specific questions. It makes a good starting point.

My focus has been on calculus from one to several variables, linear algebra, and differential equations. I create exercises and problem sets on topics in these areas. They can also make a good starting point along with your own questions.

Don't forget about any free resources available if you're a UW-Madison student: The Mathlab (in Van Vleck), GUTS, and the Math Tutorial Program. GUTS can be hit or miss but there isn't the time constraint like there can be in the Mathlab sometimes when they're busy. I hear the Tutorial Program is excellent but strict about attendance.




*Cancellation, Rescheduling, and Skipped Meetings

I require a 12-hour notice to meet and a 12-hour notice to cancel. If you cancel within 1 to 12 hours of our meeting time, the penalty is a charge of 50% of the meeting rate. If you skip the meeting or cancel within an hour of the meeting time, you will be charged for the meeting.

The rescheduling fee is 10% of the meeting rate when you reschedule within 12 hours of the meeting time. I'm available for tutoring Sundays through Thursdays from 12 - 9 or so and on some mornings, generally speaking. I'm happy to meet regularly or on an as-needed basis.
