Award-Winning ACT Math Tutors for Students in La Mesa, CA

...still in high school. Many students at my high school came from lower-income families and didn't have expensive test prep classes or professional tutoring agencies within their means, yet still aspired to some of the best universities in the country. To help them achieve their dreams, I started my own six-week ACT prep program after school, free and open to everyone regardless of background or socioeconomic status. I ran this program for two years, working...

...eventually becoming a professor. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math, Physics, and Biology as I find these subjects fascinating both in and out of the classroom. My tutoring style involves breaking complex subjects down into smaller fractions and slowly building up to the whole concept, which is quite effective. Additionally, I try to relate the subjects to the real world so that the student can identify why...

...arriving to the solution. We will work through several problems together until they recognize a pattern that they can comfortably revert back to as reference. I feel that every student needs a tutor to be successful because it's a subject that prompts many questions that are best answered at the personal level, rather than in the classroom. Outside of school, I play college tennis and compete at the men's open level all over southern California....

Balance is an important part of...

I am passionate about raising standards and pushing my kids to their full potential.

...when teaching math is for the students to truly understand the concepts and reasoning behind math, and not just learn how to apply formulas and do well on tests. Although they may get good grades, this will be useless later in life. In my teaching experience, when students actually learn the concepts and logic, not only does their math vastly improve, but they also learn to enjoy math, which is the ultimate goal. My qualifications...

...math, science, and test preparation for 4 years for students of all ages. I am strongest in high level math, which is my favorite subject to tutor as well.

...example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math...
