Extremely patient, enthusiastic math tutor; know how to teach!
I started teaching 8th grade mathematics in the early 70’s. Each year after that I moved onto the next grade level, teaching Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Math Analysis, Probability, and Calculus. One set of students moved with me from 8th through 12th grade. When they graduated, they all got t-shirts with “Mr C. 5-year letterman” emblazoned on the back.
I also taught night school at the local university and took night classes at the same time in order to get my Masters in Mathematics. I …
Testimonials

Karen C. from Phoenix, AZ Doug has been very efficient, professional, and effective in tutoring our son in Math in preparation for the ASVABs. Our son, my husband, and I are all extremely impressed and thankful for Doug's ability to connect and truly teach our son. I happen to be an education specialist with a Masters degree in multicultural education and over 20 years teaching experience. My husband is a bio-engineer and we are both very impressed with Doug as a tutor! He is excellent!
Natalie M. from Scottsdale, AZ I highly recommend Doug, My son says that Doug has a way of explaining things that just make it click in his brain. I have seen an enormous increase in my sons understanding, confidence, and grade! Thanks DOUG you're great!!
Frank B. from Phoenix, AZ Doug has a grasp on what appears to be, every subject in Math. Being an older student, Doug was extremely patient and did everything possible to break the problems down in a way that helped me understand the concepts. I would strongly recommend Doug if you are having difficulty with any math problems.
Sarah M. from Scottsdale, AZ In one month, my daughter went from failing Algebra to making a high B! I would not be surprised if she ended up with an A in the class by the end of the month! He is that good!
Leonardo V. from Scottsdale, AZ After my previous math tutor left Phoenix to attend college I was in need for a new math tutor. I met with several tutors in my search and finally found a great tutor! Doug is a fantastic math Tutor. He is very patient, understanding and most importantly he really cares for his students and wants to see them succeed. If you're looking for a great math tutor stop you just found him! Thanks Doug!
Saben L. from Phoenix, AZ My son's confidence and grades in honors geometry improved tremendously with just a few lessons with Doug. He went from a D to an A after 3 lessons. He is a very knowledgeable and patient tutor. He will be our tutor of choice for all of my son's high school math classes!
Michael P. from Phoenix, AZ Doug is a methodical tutor. The first session included a meeting with the parent and student to understand our needs. Together we set goals and Doug has done an excellent job of communicating progress. All sessions take place at Doug's home which is quiet and allows for better concentration (as compared to a coffee shop or even the library). After a couple of sessions, Doug has adapted his teaching approach to my son's needs. It is still a bit early to tell what the impact will be on school grades but building trust and rapport with my son is an excellent start. We have used other tutors before and Doug's rates represent an excellent value (cost to benefit).
April H. from Scottsdale, AZ We arrived for our first tutoring session and he invited both my son and I into his home. We discussed goals for the session and spent a little time just chatting and then I left. I felt very comfortable leaving my 14 year old son there. Doug was very kind and my son said he was very knowledgeable and helpful and taught him some different methods for finding answers to his algebra problems. School is almost out and this was a session to review and help my son prepare for his algebra final. We will definitely be using Doug in the future for geometry. I would highly recommend him.
Renalie B. from Scottsdale, AZ Doug is knowledgeable, dependable, patient and kind. He inspires my son to be a better student. He is very easy to work with and with huge success. We would highly recommend Doug as a tutor and we are blessed to have found him.
Taj L. from Scottsdale, AZ Both of my sons have now had Mr. C and they have both told me that he is a great tutor. They feel that he explains things well and that he is very patient and makes them feel comfortable!
