His quantitative background in computer science at UCLA means he's used these relationships in applied contexts like graphics and signal processing.

After tutoring the full calculus series and differential equations at PCC since 2013, Danny knows exactly which trig gaps cause problems later — shaky unit circle intuition, half-remembered identities, confusion about radian measure versus degrees. His MS Statistics work at Portland State keeps him using trig-based probability distributions regularly, so he teaches these concepts as living tools rather than a chapter to get through before calculus starts.

I am passionate about helping students when they are feeling stuck or frustrated, especially in math classes. For 2 years, I have tutored Algebra, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus. I have found it is most helpful to reteach concepts in a setting where students can ask questions along the way. When students feel comfortable asking for help and can work through adversity, they are better able to succeed in the classroom and learn valuable problem-solving skills they can use in the future.

Hi there, I'm Piyush, a freshmen at Oregon state university. I believe every student has the capacity to master complex topics and build confidence in themselves given enough time and the right tools. I do just that and teach my students how to think instead of what to think. I use analogies, visual indicators and various different explanations to teach a concept so it sticks. I am dynamic enough to change my tutoring style based on the kind of student I am teaching, whether it be direct or patient depending on the mindset of the student. I constantly review the change I am causing in the students with consistent skill-checks and mini-quizzes where I have the student explain the concept back to me to check their understanding. Overall, I am focused on creating the best tutoring experience for my students which includes keeping up with the curriculum myself. I am constantly studying advanced topics to make sure my explanations are as accurate as possible.
