I have been tutoring for the past 7 years – both online and in person. I graduated Magna Cum Laude at the College of Coastal Georgia with a Bachelor's in Mathematics with a focus on Applied Mathematics. I have plans to go for my Master’s in Computer Science in the future.

Tutoring Subjects:

‍
I specialize in mathematics as I have tutored all levels including, but not limited to: Elementary School Mathematics, Middle School Mathematics, Foundations of Algebra, Algebra I & 2, Analytical Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus 1 & 2, Probability & Statistics, and Consumer Mathematics. I have also tutored High-School Physics, multiple coding/computer science classes of various languages. I have experience tutoring under-graduate versions of these subjects as well.
‍

Ages I’ve worked with:

‍

From children/teens in primary school up to adults who are returning to college – I have experience in tutoring students from all walks of life. Most of my tutoring career has been working with students one-on-one, but I have had plenty of experience educating full classes of high school students and assisting them with remediation.

‍
Tutoring Style:

Every student is unique and learns differently. My tutoring sessions are not only a learning experience for my students – but for myself as well. I treat every single session as a time to learn something new from my students, as I want to be able to adapt my teaching style to suit my student’s needs.

‍
It is very important to foster an environment where it is okay to make mistakes. The first step in creating this learning environment is establishing that personal tutor-student relationship. I want to be a mentor to my students and help guide them along their path to success, and I cannot do that while being a stranger to them. My goal is to have each of my students leave each session being more confident in the subject material and, most importantly, with a smile.

Success Story:
‍

There is one moment in my tutoring career that reinforces why I do what I do. I had a student named Philip while I was tutoring for a High School Analytical Geometry class. Philip never thought he was good at math, since he never passed a math test throughout his school career. He was fearful for upcoming the Analytical Geometry EOCT (a test that was required to graduate at the time) at the end of the semester. Every day I worked with Philip, and each day he was mentioning how he was unsure about the exam. It was each day that I told him, “Don’t worry about it, you got this.”  When it came to the day before the test, I wished Philip good luck and I did not see him again until the following semester. In that moment that Philip and I met again - he threw his arms around me and gave me the biggest hug exclaiming, “Mr. B, I passed!!!” It was through Philip’s perseverance, studying and working hard each day that I was able to help guide him to overcome this obstacle. It is moments like these that solidify why I keep tutoring to this day. I strive to share both my passion of mathematics and the idea that anyone can learn math.

Hobbies/Interests:

‍
Gaming (I mainly play on PC but I also play on the PS5 as well, my favorite game currently is FFXIV!)
Programming (I am self-taught, and I know multiple languages such as C++, C# and Python)
All things Math and Science – I geek out about anything related to mathematics or science!
