Experience
I have been a professional tutor for several years, meeting with students both online and in-person. I do a lot of work with advanced high school and beginning college students around AP calculus / college calc I/II, as well as AP physics / college physics I/II. This also extends to SAT math prep. I also work with students on computer science theory topics, including discrete math / math for computer sciences, as well as algorithms and data structures, and theory of computation. I have helped a number of local students make sense of math or physics. It's so great when I hear my students tell me they got an A on a big test, a 5 on an AP exam, a 1440 on their SAT, or they passed that hard mandatory class for their major. I have a Master's in Computer Science from Stanford, and enjoy helping people learn about math and computer science, as well as related subjects like physics and SAT prep. My specialties include high school honors and AP classes like calculus and physics, as well as college classes for discrete math, computer architecture, algorithms and programming. If you find yourself struggling with a challenging math class or challenging teacher, or just need a refresher in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, probability and statistics, or precalc to get through more advanced math, I would be a great choice to help you. My students appreciate my approach with lots of patience and positive reinforcement. I have a flexible schedule, and can meet you or your student after school, or during the day if that's more convenient. Most of my students meet with me either at the library or in their home. At this point, I have a number of regular weekly clients who get priority for future appointments, so not all times shown in the availability list below are schedulable for new clients, but I would be happy to work with you to find a time that would work for you. My preference is to work with students who want to improve performance in a class or for a standardized test over a series of regular sessions, as opposed to one-time help for a class assignment or test. You might reasonably expect a one-letter grade improvement from weekly meetings over an eight week period; of course, that varies with the student, subject, and situation, so is a goal rather than a guarantee.
