Jason Asciola

Introduction: I am a licensed, professional, and highly qualified teacher in Massachusetts who has over 12 years in teaching mathematics, from the middle school through the high school level. I teach numeracy, problem solving, mathematical literacy, arithmetic, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, algebra 2 and statistics (including the AP level). I am available to tutor mathematics for test prep (unit tests, midterms, finals, MCAS, PARCC, SAT, SAT subject tests, ACT, and AP exams), summer tutoring, vacation tutoring, ongoing tutoring, one-time tutoring, one-on-one tutoring, small-group tutoring and other options. I can provide remedial work to fill in learning gaps, homework help or reteaching to aid in currently covered topics, or advance work for students who are bored in their current classes. My tutoring style is very language based and focuses on how, when and why mathematics is needed outside of the classroom. Students will learn not only to read mathematics and understand mathematical writing but also coherently write about the mathematical problems that they are solving. This is combined with the element that is most important for students who are developing an understanding and proficiency in solving problems: practice. Students will learn what alludes most struggling mathematics students: how do you study for a math test? Finally, it is my ultimate goal to inspire my students to develop a passion and love for learning mathematics, so that they have the skills and desire necessary to become independent learners of mathematics who have no need for me. I also teach beginner piano lessons to students who are looking to learn to play the piano from a classical method of teaching.
