Introduction: I am a professional tutor for middle school, high school, and college level mathematics, physics, and SAT/ACT Prep. My tutoring expertise is based in four and a half years of experience as the Head Tutor for the Physics and Mathematics departments at the University of North Carolina at Asheville (UNCA), three cumulative years of SAT/ACT Prep experience, and a deep passion for helping students embrace their unique potentials and reach new heights. During my time as Head Tutor at UNCA, regardless of department, I tutored over 200 students in mathematics and physics. Of those students, at least 80% saw an increase of at least one letter grade and at least 20% saw an increase by two letter grades. Many students I tutored in one subject came back to be for tutoring in the other. For many of my students I served as an invaluable mentor who guided them from their earliest days as a college freshman to the day the walked across the stage and earned their degree. Over the past five years, I have helped more than 100 students gain admission to their dream colleges and have averaged a score increase of approximately 260 points for the SAT and 6.5 points for the ACT. I have personally played a role in the lives of students who have earned admission into such institutions as Stanford, Duke, UVA, Cal Tech, Georgia Tech, UNC, and UPenn. Over the years, I have developed a very efficient method for identifying and addressing student needs using a curriculum that is custom fit for each student. This curriculum includes a carefully proportioned combination of test taking strategies and academic development. When you hire me, you are not hiring just another tutor. Rather, you are hiring a mentor, dedicated to his students and driven to push his students to be the best that they can be.

I was taking College Physics 1 and Physics 2. Tyler was the most helpful tutor I've had in college and actually showed me how to work out the mathematics in physics in order to achieve a great grade in school. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. He is a great tutor at math and sciences.

I was taking College Physics 1 at UNCA when I sought out tutoring from Tyler. To this day, I have not had a better tutor. I am now a senior at NC State double majoring in Computer and Electrical engineering. There is no way I would of made it this far without the strong foundation that Tyler helped me build in those early core classes.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The pricing for subject tutoring (i.e Math, Writing, Science, etc.) is $35 an hour and SAT/ACT Prep is $40 an hour. Gas compensation is not required for clients in the Triangle area. There is also no fee for the initial consultation with the parent(s) and the student. All charges are for sessions. Payments are preferred at the end of each session. Though cash is preferred, checks will be accepted. A copy of payment will be provided to parents within 24 hours of the payment. Moreover, special offers are available to those that recommend this service to others. If you recommend this service to someone else, and said person has attended 4 sessions, you will receive 2 free sessions. This offer is valid for as many times as you recommend this service. For example, if you recommend 3 people, and each person recommended has attended 4 sessions, then you will receive 6 free sessions.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically, before we begin regular sessions I meet with both the student and the parent(s) to get a feel for what the student wants to get out of these sessions and what the parent(s) want their child to get out of these sessions. I explain that my approach caters towards the specific learning needs of the student. Many students fall into one of the three categories of learning styles: Verbal, Visual, and Kinesthetic. However, just because these are the prominent learning styles among students does not mean that they speak for the whole. A significant number of people would be classified as having learning styles that are a mix of the aforementioned. If the parent(s) agree to have their son/daughter tutored, then the parent(s) would be given a new student form to fill out. New student forms are simply a way for me to have some background information about each of my students such as contact information, current school the student is attending, and a rough schedule for sessions. Once the new student form is filled out I will make a copy of it and give it to the parent(s) for their own records. For each session, a session report will be filed. The session report details notes that I have taken during the session, the objectives of the session, and the current level of progress. A copy of the session report will be provided to parents within 24 hours of the session.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Asheville in 2014 where I received a B.S. and majored in both physics and mathematics. I am currently a part of the Physics PhD program at Auburn University. I have worked as a Physics Department and Math Lab tutor for the duration of my time at UNCA (4.5 years), where I also received AVID training for tutoring. Additionally, I private tutored students for the SAT and ACT, for all sections of each test, for 3 out of the 4.5 years I attended UNCA. I have also spent the past year providing subject tutoring in math and physics and SAT/ACT Prep at Huntington Learning Center of Raleigh.
