Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I am the master of the UNIT CIRCLE, I put it 1st, because I wanted to get around to it right away, get it, a round to it. But, seriously, if you need the Unit Circle explained, I'm the guy! I've found that many students that need Math help are visual learners, so I use a lot of visual techniques. I choose my words very carefully when I teach. My students like me because I'm funny, but I only get away with it, because I'm so good and direct at my job. I don't teach Math to get rich. I am an Apple Developer, with a new game. PunnyFuzzles at App Store & Google Play. I teach Math because I am a natural, 2nd generation math-Puzzle master, 6th degree. I teach Math to give back to the community. I am excellent at evaluating a student's needs, filling in any gaps in their skill set and explaining the steps towards solving problems. Nobody is better at tutoring math and your skill level will improve to reflect this fact. I taught a PROBLEM SOLVING class for 6 years. If you are having trouble with factoring Quadratic Equations, I can help. I have been known to fix a student's problems in just one session. When I see a student who is putting in a solid effort and it pays off in improved math skills on their assignments and quiz scores. I am well-known for the Math Refresh Program that I pioneered for in-coming college students. It's a 5 day, 3 hours per day lesson that takes students from improper fractions to mixed expressions, adding fractions, to adding negative numbers, to combining like terms, through PEMDAS Rules, the rules of exponents, the distributive law, combining and reducing square roots, and the use of FOIL for factoring equations. I am expert in laying down a solid math foundation for struggling students. Plus, recognizing which areas need shoring up. I have worked with and have been successful at helping students succeed in Math for 18 years. My confidence becomes your confidence.

If you are struggling with math, Doug can definitely help you! I was failing my college algebra class and after a few sessions with Doug my grade improved. Even my professor noticed the difference in my work. Doug knows math and knows how to teach it!

Punctual, helpful and presented me with multiple methods to solve problems. Contacted him extremely last minuate for exam tutoring and he came through. Doug provided me with copies of his own hand written notes on how to solve problems that were extremely helpful. Highly recommend this tutor for a guaranteed good grade.
