Introduction: I provide a comprehensive tutoring approach in all high school math subjects at a reasonable price. I am a retired U.S. Naval Officer and worked as an IT engineer and program manager for a major defense contractor for 17 years after completion of my military service. Too re-familiarize myself with mathematics studies and to gain more experience with tutoring, over the last year and a half I have tutored my neighbors' two teenage daughters on Algebra and Geometry subjects using the text books from their home school curriculum. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1979, a Master's Degree in Computer Science from the Naval Postgraduate School in 1984, and have passed the Praxis exams for algebra and geometry within the last 10 years. I enjoy assisting students to overcome problems with comprehension of mathematical concepts and enjoy seeing them move forward in their understanding and development.

Phil is great even with the toughest students. He does not allow them to move on until there is understanding of the current material. He has made it possible for our 16 year old to take college math! Phil is flexible with scheduling and accountable to the student and your family. Highly recommend him for your students!

Thank you Robin. It has been a pleasure working with you two children; I guess I should say young adults at this point!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The first session is free. The following sessions are $20 per session at my home and $25 when I travel to the students home. The sessions are normally 1 hours in length but may exceed this if the student is experiencing particular difficulty with a concept.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First I review with the customer(s) their expectations to ensure that we are all are working towards the same goal. I then review the student's text and assignments to gain specific familiarization with their materials. This occurs during the first session for free. We develop the outline of a tutoring plan including a schedule and location for sessions and a means of assessing progress. We begin the tutoring process and make periodic assessments to ensure that goals are being met or to revise the tutoring plan to ensure we make satisfactory progress towards the customer's goals.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1979, a Master's Degree in Computer Science from the Naval Postgraduate School in 1984, and have passed the Praxis exams for algebra and geometry within the last 10 years.
