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.

JESSICA D.

Jessica has been tutoring regularly for over 4 years and has also worked as a laboratory demonstrator. She has both a 4-year bachelor of science degree in biochemistry and a 3-year bachelor of business and administration degree from the University of Winnipeg, and played for the Wesmen women’s basketball team during that time.

Her tutoring speciality is primarily high school pre-calculus and calculus, but she enjoys tutoring anything from middle years to university-level math and science in both English and French.

HANNAH D.

I’m an aspiring educator here to show people that math is not something to be scared about! I’m here to teach others that there’s so much to learning that is fun and exciting, and you can definitely find it fun too!

Madeleine A.

Madeleine is a graduate of McGill University with a Bachelor of Science in biology and environment. Although biology, math, and chemistry are her main areas of interest, she is passionate about all branches of science. Over the past two years, she has conducted research in the McGill Biology Department and has been recognized with multiple awards, including the Dean’s Multidisciplinary Research Award. In addition to her research, Madeleine has taught coding to graduate students through McGill’s Geography Department. On top of her academic accomplishments, Madeleine is extremely well-organized and dedicated to assisting students in creating successful long-term organizational skills. She also brings valuable experience with the university application process and, as the former president of a McGill student club, is well-equipped to support students planning for higher education. Madeleine’s interests include volleyball, guitar, and sharks. Overall, Madeleine can provide well-rounded, interesting lessons that position students for long-term success because of her passion for math and science, as well as her excellent organizational abilities.

Edward H.

I’m a certified teacher of English with extensive experience tutoring math through geometry, and into the fundamentals of trigonometry and calculus. I’m the content designer for two SAT preparation for the 2400 series of the test formerly available on iTunes, using a smart flash card platform that innovated a math system designed specifically to improve time management and trap identification, called CCCP Math. I have also identified techniques that limit the effects of self-distraction that is often the key to better concentration.

I believe there are four components to doing well on the SAT test: specific knowledge, problem solving process, focus, and confidence. I make it my business to address all of these areas.

I’ve been tutoring SAT for 10 years and have many success stories. more than 90% of student who do 6 or more lessons with me improve markedly. For elite score students, (those who could only possibly improve 16%) I’ve seen significant improvements in the reduction of the number of errors. For student starting in the 1000-1300 range, I’ve seen improvements as high as 90% better. I rely on a hybrid teaching approach where I use screen shots of slides from my apps, while process is taught and supported through tutoring and exercises based in McGraw Hill’s SAT book. The results have been great.

With covid affecting the learning process, I feel the need to offer my service as a distance learning coach to parents, helping as a mentor reviewing the coming weeks materials for presentation and stepping in to teach only when remediation is necessary. We can’t, after all, afford a full program of tutoring in all areas. With over 7000 hours of tutoring under my belt, parents can rely upon my perspective and advice.
Lately in my tutoring lab, I’ve developed techniques that show results in improving basic focus and addressing “Test Anxiety”. Ask me about my findings, if you fear your child is not suited to standardized testing. I may just be able to help.
