Algebra I & II, Geometry, PreCalculus, AP Calculus AB, & more
From ’09 to ’13 I taught math full-time at a high school in Maryland (from 8th graders to seniors), after having graduated from the College of William and Mary in 2009 with a BS in Applied Mathematics. During my time teaching I taught AP Calculus AB (for 4 years), Geometry (for 3 years) and PreCalculus (for 1 year). Much of that time was working with students one on one during or outside of class. I understand the need for math tutors since the textbooks provide so few examples to work fro…
Testimonials
Elaine W. from Oakton, VA My daughter immediately felt comfortable with Stephen and felt he was very easy to interact with. They went over topics for an upcoming test and she said that she "was finally beginning to understand proofs." Stephen is easy to get in touch with and flexible with his scheduling time. My daughter is looking forward to working with Stephen.
Brandie S. from Herndon, VA My daughter was having issues understanding derivatives, she had worked with several peer mentors at GMU. After working with Stephen she was so happy. She thought maybe she had to change majors because she couldn't understand this topic and thus future topics were going to cause her issues too. She said he didn't just use example from the textbook but made up his own examples and then graphed them for her. It made so much more sense and she wants him to review the entire semester with her so that she can ace her final exam.
Frauke N. from Sterling, VA Stephen responded quickly to email and requested information on what we were studying so he could come prepared. He is on time and my child responded well to his teaching style. He showed different options to get to the answer so my child could understand the best way that would work for him.
Andrew C. from Vienna, VA Went step by step for each problem explaining the problem as we went along. Very patient and let me do some problems without help then he reviewed the problem and if I had anything wrong, he told me what and how to correct it.
Maureen L. from Vienna, VA Steve has worked with my son for just 2 sessions and helped him raise his AP Calculus test grades from a very low grade to a B. Steve is very knowledgeable of the material, methodical in the teaching and extremely engaging in how he teaches the material. Steve's approach is to explain and then go through the process systematically, asking questions at each step to ensure of his understanding. At the same time, Steve's relative youth makes the sessions comfortable and relaxing for my son. He truly enjoys working with Steve and his confidence in the material has increased exponentially. Finally, Steve makes my part easy with his quick response time to emails and willingness to text directly with my son to arrange sessions. I highly recommend Steve as a math tutor!
Karen K. from Arlington, VA Steve walked my daughter through a difficult discussion on derivatives and helped her approach the problems from a different angle. He showed her a trick using clear plastic cups to simplify the derivative solution process and come to an answer more quickly. She rapidly caught on to the new technique and is now so excited about it that she is planning to show her Calculus teacher at school! We're looking forward to future sessions with Steve, who is very approachable and pleasant.
