Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I am a former (NJ non-expiring certified K-12) high-school math teacher with 10 years of classroom teaching experience. After acquiring a Master's degree in Pure & Applied Mathematics, I ventured into the business sector, where I worked over 30 years in Fortune 500 industry (energy, banking) and the public higher-education sector (UC Berkeley). My industry work experience includes: business requirements gathering, data analysis, mathematical modeling, software development and quality assurance.
I retired from my full-time UC Berkeley position at the end of June 2016, and wish once again to exercise my teaching skills. In all modesty, I don't think you will find a better tutor. I've been told my entire life that I am a natural-born teacher, and was genuinely loved by many of my students during my teaching years. You will find me engaging, responsible, deeply knowledgeable about my subject, and wholly dedicated to my students' success!

Jacques responded to an ad I placed on Thumbtack for a math tutor for my 7th grade daughter. My daughter wanted to advance in math over the summer. Her goal was to do Algebra 1 math in 8th grade.
It was very apparent in our first meeting with Jacques that he was going to be exactly what she needed to excel. During our initial phone conversation, Jacques asked a lot of questions in an effort to get to know what my daughter was trying to achieve. Our first session was free of charge, which I really appreciated. It was a "lets get to know each other" meeting to make sure that their personalities matched.
They worked 3 times a week during the summer and my daughter LOVED IT. Jacques is a natural teacher. He has a magical way of explaining complex concepts. He gave her concrete examples of how the math she was learning applied to the real world. His positive and encouraging manner made it easy for my daughter to get excited about what she was learning.
Jacques is one in a million. If you are lucky enough to have him respond to your ad, look no further. You won't find anyone better. I can't speak highly enough about him. He is a lovely man and you won't find a better math tutor. He's the best.
Oh, and thanks to Jacques, my daughter made it into the Algebra 1 class. Yay!
