Personalized Math Instruction

No matter what your ability, you can build solid skills and confidence at math! Whether you're paralyzed with math anxiety or bored in precalculus class, I can help you learn the math you need at your level. I've been a math teacher on the West Coast, the East Coast, and even on the Equator. My conviction is that every student can be great at math with the correct approach. Some students learn better by "guessing and checking," while others start moving x's around or look for a pattern. No approach is better or worse, since they all start the ball rolling.

If algebraic equations seem confusing to you, it can help to "go geometric" and look deeper with graphing software. Most students don't get this kind of interactivity with their lessons, so this puts you ahead of the game! For example, here's the most basic parabola y=x² and a tangent line.

Graphing functions is easy and fun with a little practice. In no time you'll start to notice patterns in functions and you'll be thinking mathematically!

I have an office in San Mateo, and I tutor on the San Francisco peninsula. One-on-one interaction with students is what I love best.
