We are a team of experienced teachers and tutors each specializing in our own subject strengths. We provide excellent customer service, possibly immediate or same day for homework help or project completion. Online tutoring is also available with a shared online whiteboard for step-by-step problem solving.
We strive to get to the root of the problem be it a test-taking challenge or a problem with foundational concepts. Not very fond of your teacher? Unfortunately, this is often the case. We follow your own pace of learning to achieve results.
We love the moment when a student finally understands a topic and starts building self-confidence. We can then use this to change the way a student thinks about a subject resulting in continual improvement and achievement.
ABOUT ME:
I'm a graduate of UCLA Engineering with a passion for explaining how the physical world works through math and physics along with 15 years of tutoring experience in those subjects, test prep, and computer skills. The teaching strategy I believe in emphasizes subject fundamentals, a powerful and necessary tool for higher problem solving. This strategy has proven very effective regardless of the student's educational background or mental ability. Besides being knowledgeable, I am motivating, caring, and patient in guiding your student to academic success!
EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING:
Executive Functioning is a separate realm that tutoring can assist in. It deals with cognitive processes including organization, time management, and study skills. Much of the difficulty students face in academic subjects can be attributed to the lack of executive functioning. They either cannot keep up with the pace and workload that advanced courses demand or haven't figured out the best way to study for themselves. We are able to assess a student's shortcomings and formulate a plan for
higher achievement.

Daniel from WizKid Tutoring is the BEST! When we hired him he was given a huge challenge: help my son, who hates math, prepare for the CHSPE test. And they only had six weeks to do it! In every session, Daniel did a great job helping my son work through and undertsand the math concepts he needed to know. It wasn't easy, as my son is easily distracted and-- did I mention he hates math? I was skeptical that anyone outside of a magician could help my son be prepared enough to pass this test. But Daniel did it! My son passed CHSPE math thanks to him and we are forever grateful for his help. He is also a kind, patient person and very flexible when it comes to scheduling. If you need a great tutor, HIRE DANIEL!
Details: High school • Algebra • Geometry • 14 - 17 years old • More than once a week • My home, venue, etc.

My 10th grade daughter needed help with Geometry and Chemistry and worked with Daniel-geometry and Gabriel-chemistry . Both tutors are kind and patient and knowledgeable. My daughter's grades changed significantly in both subjects. She seems more confident on both subjects. We will continue working with them after winter brake. thank you!

Dan was a life-saver! My son was up against finals in Physics and Math, we found Dan and he was working with my son within 24 hours and explaining concepts that had never been effectively taught.. My son walked into his exams with more confidence and understanding and for that we are very grateful.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The price quoted is a bundle rate. This means an agreed upon number of hours is paid for upfront and hours are used up as lessons are provided. You need not pay this before the first lesson. Typically, customers like to try out the first lesson and decide from then if the bundle is right for them. Corporate/business rates are higher than individual rates. Pricing for tasks or projects are higher than lesson rates. We reserve the right to adjust pricing following an initial quote.
The pay-as-you-go rate is higher than the bundle rate and depends on the details of the customer
request.
• Minimum lesson time is 1 hour for online lessons and may be longer for in person lessons.
• A higher rate may be requested for commuting expenses.
• Customers who reach out first automatically see my base rate which may not apply to the subject/service in need.
• I accept PayPal, Venmo, Check, Cash, or Credit Card (3% fee)
• Cancellation Policy: At least 24 hours notice or charged for full lesson.
• Purchases for bundle(s) or pay-as-you-go tutoring are non-refundable.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First I seek to understand the student's goals and level of understanding in a subject. Together, we can schedule lessons to achieve those goals in line with the student's timeline. Preparation of student’s material is needed before lessons if topic mastery is not yet met.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold an engineering degree from UCLA and with 15 years of tutoring experience, I have encountered countless scenarios that I can draw from to help with your unique challenges.
