When I teach math concepts such as Precalculus/Math Analysis, I try to make it more engaging for the student by connecting the math concepts to other subjects. Some students connect more with history and culture so I'll discuss the evolution of unique math concepts. I also find real-world applications for the Precalculus/Math Analysis concepts whenever possible, so students see how relevant math is in their lives. Precalculus/Math Analysis is more challenging than Algebra 2/Math 3/Trigonometry and covers more topics so I always tell my students that they should devote twice as much time to the [more]

Pre-calculus is often somewhat of a survey course without a unified curriculum, and I have been able to help students tie together the various topics and explain how they will be important in their future math courses. Whether it's explaining the relevance of polar graphs or giving examples of trig applications, I am able to guide them through this important transition to calculus and beyond. The school year's here! Feel free to contact me to discuss how I can help your student achieve his/her academic goals. I am excited about working with students of all levels and abilities to help them bec [more]
Every teacher/tutor has his favorite math class that he loves to teach, and Pre-Calculus (along with two others) is one of my favorites. I have taught this class at several high schools and many, many times in college. My pre-calculus students are positively prepared for calculus. Hi, my name is James. I am an experienced, patient, and personable tutor of science, mathematics, software, and technology. Science: I have had the pleasure of serving as a high school science chair teaching chemistry and physics. My focus for the past few years has been tutoring Chemistry (AP, and Honors) as well [more]

I have tutored multiple students in precalculus during the academic year and over the summer in preparation for the upcoming school year. My students benefit from my years of experience with this subject and from my teaching style in which I first teach the material, then we review example problems together, and finally I have the student teach me the material which allows them to master the concepts. Background I?ve always had a passion for teaching and working with young people, and I want to share my love for math and science with others. I believe that students can learn difficult conce [more]

I have extensive teaching experience in college-level general chemistry, biochemistry and neuroscience from three different universities, as well as e... [more]
I have taught and tutored precalc to high school students with great success. My high school students often show immediate significant improvement on their test and homework grades after just a few sessions of reviewing precalc concepts with me. Yep! That's me hanging off a bridge I taught my students to build made only of popsicle sticks and hot glue! My weeks fill up quickly so please schedule your times early! Physics and Math are passions of mine. I can teach you why you feel heavier flying through a loop on a roller coaster, how far you can throw a baseball on the moon, and why sunlight [more]
