What you receive when choosing Me, ThatMathTutorGuy:
About Me:

*Professor and undergraduate teaching assistant positions for Mathematics courses.
What You Receive
*A PROFESSIONAL tutor - this is all I do, it's not a side gig.
*A PREPARED tutor - I spend a considerable amount of time outside lessons preparing (no extra charge) to ensure the session time is used efficiently.
*A DEDICATED tutor devoted to your academic success
*An educator focused not only on the grade, but also on the underlying concepts and improving the student's confidence
*An educator capable of relating dry material to real world problems & applications. Examples are often taken from my own academic & research background, a student's personal interests, current events and sometimes pop culture....sometimes.
What To Expect
*Remote tutoring via Lessonspace
*A collaborative learning session - "to learn math, you need to do and practice math"
*At the end of the session all the notes and collaborative work are automatically saved and
*I frequently use additional resources for the student, including old common/standardized exams, worksheets, additional textbook problem, practice problems (if needed)
*Expect to walk away from each session with a sense of accomplishment. The goal is not to complete a homework assignment, but to make sure you understand the material well enough to complete the assignment on your own.
About Me (Long-version):
My passion for math started in middle school when I helped students understand the very basics of how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions. I continued into high school with recreational mathematics and participated in math competitions in my spare time. In college, I assisted in the math lab - a place where students could ask homework and general math questions in a 1-1 tutoring environment. Finally, I went to Texas A&M University where I received a PhD in several complex variables. During my time there, I assisted with teaching, tutoring, office hours, creating and grading assignments.
Through those many years of grad school, I came to agree with students - math is hard! And pedagogically, I discovered that to learn math, you need to do math! Therefore when I teach and tutor, I do so with lots and lots of examples. I also tend to ask questions of my students that I might have if I were taking the course. This helps in summarizing ideas and cementing concepts.
I'm passionate about helping students become better at math and developing their logical and creative skills to problem solve. I really like working with high school and college students in a one-on-one environment. And lately, the online environment has allowed me to provide remote instruction to a larger pool of students. Initially, I used Zoom and zoom whiteboard, but currently I use google meet and a specific online whiteboard. I find this combination runs flawlessly whereas Zoom whiteboard has had a history of glitches and doubling written text. Additionally, the whole online whiteboard can be saved and later reviewed!
Finally, I have access to an incredibly large number of textbooks. Almost always when a student is using a particular textbook, I am able to find a personal copy that is identical or only slightly different (ie different edition). This helps parents feel more confident that their son or daughter is getting real direct help. Obviously, it also assists with communication between tutor and student, and helps in assigning problems for solidifying concepts.
