San Antonio Math Tutor

Introduction: Do you have a hard time understanding math concepts? Is your math instructor unable to explain things in enough detail for you to comprehend? A professional mathematician, I have been equipped in the most effective techniques for teaching math. I am trained in customizing instruction specifically to your needs and making the most hard math topics easy to understand. My focus is providing you the knowledge needed to do the homework problems yourself. I can teach you the required skill set to assist you in passing your math courses. Also, I am experienced in preparing students for different tests, such as the TAKS, SAT, PSAT/NMSQT, etc. I have discovered that majority of students are perfectly capable of learning math. The big problem I see is inadequate self-confidence in math. My tutoring sessions are created to enhance the student's self confidence in a non-threatening and calm environment. Gentle encouragement is the reward given to student progress. Students are never reprimanded or criticized for showing a lack of understanding or asking questions. In fact, I encourage questions, and I regard mistakes as a learning opportunity. Nothing makes me happier than watching the light bulb switch on when a student finally understands a concept they thought was incomprehensible. I provide professional tutoring services in all topics in mathematics, including algebra, basic arithmetic, geometry, calculus and trigonometry to students of any age. I have a master's degree in math and am a college instructor in mathematics. For more than 15 years, I have been tutoring and teaching students in an extensive variety of math classes at the college level. I have consistently gotten excellent ratings from both peers and students on my teaching style. I have been educated in strategic tutoring technique. Traditional tutoring styles only offer assistance on specific assignments designated by their teacher as homework. Strategic tutoring makes the student learn how to master the learning strategies required for the specific subject, thus, in time, doing away with the need for a tutor. I can travel to your home to assist with studying for exams, homework, etc. I have a flexible schedule and charge $50 per hour. There is no charge for cancellations or mileage. There are no long-term commitments or contracts. Once you become my student, I won't charge rate increases for you.
