Colton

I am a certified math and special education teacher with over eight years of experience working with high school students. I hold a Master’s in Special Education and a bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, allowing me to combine strong teaching skills with technical expertise. I tutor grades 6+, focusing on building both subject mastery and problem-solving confidence.

Tutoring Style

My tutoring style is patient, clear, and highly adaptable to each student’s needs. I break down complex concepts into simple, manageable steps and use real-world examples to make learning engaging and relevant. I encourage active problem-solving and guide students to explain their reasoning, building both understanding and confidence. I revisit challenging topics from different angles until mastery is achieved, ensuring lasting comprehension.

Success Story

One of my favorite success stories is when I worked with a high school junior who was failing Algebra 2 and feeling completely discouraged about math. We met twice a week, focusing on filling in gaps from earlier courses and building her confidence through step-by-step practice. By the end of the semester, she had raised her grade from an F to a solid B, and more importantly, she began participating in class and believing in her own ability to succeed.

Hobbies & Interests

When I’m not tutoring, I enjoy playing strategy-based video games, watching anime, and exploring new technology projects. I also like hiking and spending time outdoors, especially in scenic areas. I’m always looking for creative ways to combine my love of problem-solving with fun, hands-on activities.
