Introduction: Hello! My name is Dr. Brandon Schiller! I am a former associate-in professor at UC San Diego in the structural engineering department. I have been tutoring students from kindergarten to post-college for over 15 years because I have a passion for learning and teaching. 𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆, 𝗺𝘆 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀!

Yes, some people are more gifted in these subjects than others, but I think we can all do well in these fields with proper teaching. In my experience, many students struggle because they are not being taught in a way that is most conducive to their learning. I work to cater my teaching to the individual so that concepts are fundamentally understood, not just memorized for the next test. We are all different, and we all learn differently. My philosophy in this regard respects just that. I utilize my extensive tutoring and teaching experience to develop the best approach for each student to excel. At 28 years old, I am very fortunate to have had the opportunities I have been able to capitalize on. The benefit of my age comes from how easy it is to connect with students.

Brandon has been a true blessing! He is patient, knowledgeable and flexible. We got in touch with him as soon as my daughter started 6th grade. She has struggled with math since 2nd grade and no matter how much tome we spent doing homework with her, her grade was a C or lower. We were starting to feel pretty helpless. But ever since Brandon began teaching her on a weekly basis, everything changed! She has become so confident in math, scoring many 100’s even on pop-quizzes. She even had her name announced to the whole class as the only student who got a 100. I can’t believe it took us this long to find an amazing and talented tutor! I highly recommend Brandon, his service is worth every penny!

Details: Middle school • Arithmetic / general • Algebra • Pre-algebra • Geometry • 10 - 13 years old • Improve grades at school • As recommended by teacher • Remotely (phone or internet) • My home, venue, etc. • At the pro’s location

Brandon was one of the best math tutors I have had. I was apprehensive about doing online tutoring, but Brandon made it so clear and easy to follow his teaching. He is also very patient and explains concepts in multiple ways, to help understand. I was preparing for the GRE test and my math score ended up improving by 10 points thanks to his help! 100% recommend

Brandon has been tutoring my 3 kids in math for over a year now, and has done an an amazing job in teaching all of them. He has the special ability to explain concepts in ways that they each understand. He is able to teach at varying grade levels as well (in our case, it ranges from 3rd grade to 7th grade, but I know he can accommodate beyond that as well). He makes sure they grasp the topics in their homework, and goes above in beyond by giving them follow-on questions/problems to help reinforce their understanding. He also provided much-needed assistance in the spring of 2020 when we had to homeschool during the quarantine, as well as tutoring over the summer to keep their minds fresh on math. His easy-going style and patient manner helps them feel comfortable in asking questions when they don't understand something. I highly recommend Brandon as a tutor!
