About
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. ๐—จ๐—น๐˜๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—น๐˜†, ๐—บ๐˜† ๐—ด๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—บ๐˜† ๐˜€๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ด๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐—ฟ ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐—ฟ ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐˜€! ๐—œ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ ๐—ฃ๐—ต.๐——. ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐—จ๐—– ๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐——๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ด๐—ผ, ๐—ฎ ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿฑ ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜๐˜† ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—น๐—ฑ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด. ๐—œ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜†๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—น๐˜† "๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ต" ๐—ผ๐—ฟ "๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ". 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. ๐—œ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ฎ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฏ ๐˜†๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜€! ๐—œ ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐—ด๐—ด๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐˜€.

Brandon has been great, he tutors both of my high school daughters for both physics and math. He was instrumental for my 11th grader to get to an A in AP physics as he figured out how to help her understand physics in a way that clicked for her. He is also flexible and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend him.

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 100โ€™s even on pop-quizzes. She even had her name announced to the whole class as the only student who got a 100. I canโ€™t believe it took us this long to find an amazing and talented tutor! I highly recommend Brandon, his service is worth every penny!

Brandon has been an excellent Physics tutor for my son. With Brandon's tutoring my son has been able to better learn difficult Physics concepts, and maintain a high level grade. I very much appreciate the tutoring services from Brandon, and highly recommend him for any tutoring services that you may need.
