Award-Winning GMAT Tutors in Compton, CA

I have two years of experience teaching SAT math and verbal courses. I have also privately tutored math majors in various math courses, ranging from linear algebra to probability and multivariate calculus.

...where I guided a diverse set of students through the stages of essay writing. For the past decade, I’ve also privately tutored students in math, reading comprehension, writing, and SAT preparation.

...standardized tests (having received a perfect score on my SAT in high school). Whenever possible I try to teach using the Socratic method, as I find that the process of guided discovery helps with the retention and application of new concepts.

...nerdy passions. I still love watching Schoolhouse Rock! and singing along with “Conjunction Junction” and “A Noun is a Person, Place, or Thing.” Outside of the world of academia, my interests lean toward entertainment and fitness, often both at the same time. I like to listen to comedy podcasts like How Did This Get Made?,...

...help you understand how the skills I teach can be applied to the real world. For example, if I teach a biology-based concept, I’ll explain how the topic has informed my real-life experience as a scientist. In this sense, our sessions can actually be fun or, at the very least, challenging and engaging.... I talk with the student. I explain that I am always open to feedback, and encourage them to ask questions. I emphasize that there is no such thing as a "dumb" question. I also find out what the student considers to be their own goals, strengths, and weaknesses. Next, the student answers a series of carefully chosen practice questions, or writes a short passage on a fun topic. I use the results to create lesson plans aimed at the student's particular needs.

...Engineering. I switched from a career in engineering to one in education because I just love working with kids, teenagers, and young adults.

...classic literature. Outside of the classroom and the board room, my favorite hobbies involve sports, movies, and my friends and family. Football, basketball, tennis and soccer are my favorite sports, both to play and watch. Having grown up in the mountains of West Virginia, I am an avid skier and am excited to tackle the...

...teaching experiences, especially in mathematics ranging from algebra, geometry, calculus and trigonometry. Apart from math, science-courses like electrical engineering, physics are my other comfort-teaching zones as well. My teaching style starts with collaborating with students through understanding, extrapolating and bisecting a complex problem to multiple ease one. I always prefer students to engage in an...

...hard or not fun. In my sessions, I always try to relate what we're learning back to something my student is interested in. I really enjoy sharing my love for learning, and I always make sure to keep it fun and informative. Outside of tutoring, I have directed several plays and a feature film. In...
