John Gibbons

Let me begin by listing my course work: Calculus I-III, Differential Equations I-II, Number Theory, Topology, Abstract Algebra I, Vector Analysis, Graph Theory, Theory of Calculus. My background lies in theoretical mathematics. This means I know how to explain the content, not just do it. I was the center director of a K-12 math tutoring center for 2 years. My ability to tutor ranges from Common Core to Calc AP to SAT prep to Multivariable Calculus and anything in between! Overall, I have 5+ years of private tutoring experience. I have tutored people of all ages. At the end of the day, Mathematics is a language. You must practice it over and over to become fluent. Many students find math to be gibberish and frustrating. But when it is laid out in a straightforward, logical manner that comes from true understanding, then things become very clear. I offer online or in person tutoring sessions. Online: I use Facetime or Skype for audio/visual and an online whiteboard so we can work problems together. In person: Let's meet in a public setting first before scheduling any house visits. Libraries are always nice since they have wifi and a quiet place to think. I'm located in Asheville, NC but willing to travel. All of my tutoring sessions come with a customized curriculum. I cater to the student. This means I write my own lesson plan using elements of the class, homework, and book to give a well-rounded approach. Discounts apply to multiple sessions!
