About
I mainly tutor in math, and currently, tutor online. I would say I'm easy to talk to, and I have a great connection with kids. Everyone has a unique way of learning, and I would say I'm perceptible to the way they learn, and the pace at which they learn.

We’ve had such a great experience working with Brandon as Malea’s tutor. He’s incredibly easy to work with, very patient, and takes the time to explain things in a way that’s clear and detailed. Most importantly, Malea feels comfortable with him, which has made such a positive difference in her learning. We’re really happy with his support and will definitely continue using his services. Highly recommend!

My son worked with Brandon in the summer to prepare for the honors math in 8th grade. There were a lot of concepts to cover but Brandon did an awesome job of going through all of them and my son has so much more confidence in math now. Will definitely contact him again. Thank you Brandon!

After 10 years without a math class, Brandon helped me to remind everything from high school. He explains very well so wasn't hard to understand how maths works. Thank you so much, and also the library is the best place to study! 10 stars!

For standard math lessons, my rates are $56 for 1 hour/week, or $48 for 2+ hours/week.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to understand students' goals and interests, and gradually discuss the math topic; math tends to be a subject fearful to many, and I want to be mindful in how we approach such a subject.

I earned an Associate's Degree in General Studies with a focus in math and science.
I taught a semester-long (14 weeks) college course at San Francisco State University, became a founding member of a program aimed at assisting and tutoring first generation low-income college students in health & social science majors.

I received my Master's in Teaching: Mathematics.
I started a PhD program in Math Education. However, after a semester, I withdrew from the program as I aim to pursue other ambitions.
