Zachary M.

Zachary M. is presently in his last year of his study for his dual masters in math and physics at UTSA. Some may say that in doing so, he is trying to prolong his adolescence and avoid adulthood. But truth be told, Zach is very passionate about his studies. This was not always the case. Admittedly, Zach was mathematically challenged in middle school (his mom would help him with his algebra homework). But something clicked for him in high school. He took every AP math and science class that he could and went so far as to participate in academic UIL. After graduation from high school, Zach began studying math and physics at UTSA. He took up a job as a physics tutor on a whim but came to discover that he really enjoys helping people learn. Now as a graduate student, Zach teaches introductory physics labs. In doing so, he does his best to accommodate all of his students while simultaneously emphasizing the mathematical and theoretical underpinnings of physics.

“Prep Academy Tutors has been amazing for both my freshman (Honors Geometry) and junior (AP PreCal and SAT work)! They’re very flexible with timing, given sports and school schedules, and make sure you’re matched with the right tutor. Zach has had a huge impact on both my kids, and they actually look forward to working with him, which is big for high school students! I can’t recommend Zach and Prep Academy enough!”

“I am so glad I have found the prep academy tutors of San Antonio who provides math tutoring support for my high schooler who needs to be college ready very soon. They will help your student practice the SAT subject matter in a effective and professional way right in the comfort of your home. Zach, the math tutor assigned for us is very knowledgeable and is able to guide through the different parts that are covered in the SAT exams.”
