Jeffrey G.
I have a Bachelor’s of Science degree from the University of Texas at San Antonio. I am a State of Texas certified mathematics teacher. I have taught middle school, high school and homeschool. I have tutored off and on since graduating from college and recently prepared my children for mathematical success at the college level. I am knowledgeable and patient and am passionate about helping students be successful. I enjoy helping each student be successful in math and to increase their confidence and achievement. I am excited to be able to help students and know that the results will be significant. My outside interests are distance running, walking, watching sports, music and spending time with my family.
Jordan G.
Jordan is certified through the Texas Education Agency in Mathematics, grade levels 4 through 12. Jordan has 10 years of experience teaching in the public school system, charter school system, and private tutoring. His experience is with mostly middle school and high school grade levels (6th-12th). In today’s education world, students are being asked to problem solve using algebra at younger ages. This is why students must be mathematically prepared for whatever their future holds, whether it is scoring better on college entry tests or daily at whatever skill they seek to pursue.
Jordan is a Marine Corps veteran, but don’t worry, he’s actually one of the smart ones! Seriously though, Jordan is very sincere and passionate about mathematics and connecting/teaching students. Jordan discovered that this was his God-given purpose in life during his time as a youth minister at his home church for 2 years, soon after being honorably discharged from military service. Jordan looks forward to serving the community by assisting students to develop a growth mindset and a passion for the most important topic in school, MATH! Although, Mr. Guerrero is somewhat biased in this opinion!
Dr. Howard C.
Dr. Howard C. received his BS with Cum Laude, MS, and PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Washington (UW) in Seattle. While he was attending UW, he worked as a teaching and research assistant at the University of Washington Graduate School. He spent a better part of his career as a research engineer in fingerprinting audio, image and video streams. He has received a total of three U.S. patents. After his retirement from industry, Dr. C. started tutoring students in all levels of math, physics, and statistics. It is his pleasure to help students to appreciate the mechanics behind learning these subjects. His students come from many prominent schools and school districts. To Dr. C., math is a passion. He always encourages students “to see” instead of “to memorize”. A picture is worth more than 1,000 words.

Chad B.
Chad Berkich recently graduated from the University of Chicago with a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics. For three years during his time there, Chad was a Junior Tutor in the math department, where he met with a small group of students twice-weekly to work on introductory calculus problems. While Chad has had a passion for math since a young age, this job is where he found his passion for teaching it. He firmly believes in the beauty and importance of math and wants to impart his passion to his students. He also knows that many students struggle with math and related subjects, which is why his tutoring style centers on breaking down the problem into individual steps that foster student understanding and general problem-solving skills.
In addition to his work as a Junior Tutor, Chad also has experience tutoring the SAT Math and ACT Math and Science sections. In his spare-time, he loves reading comic books and playing video games. He is also currently writing an original fantasy novel.
