Stressed about finals? That AP class you were excited to take proving to be a little more challenging than you expected? Is it time to take the dreaded SATs or ACTs and you need a little extra help preparing? Finding your homework a challenge or not understanding something presented in your course materials or lecture? You've come to the right place!
A list of the major subjects I have been able to tutor students successfully: If in bold, I don't need any advance notice to tutor any concept in the subject. If not, it would probably be a good idea to discuss with me which topics you are concerned about. Some courses with the same name are harder than others. If I have the course listed, I have at least been able to help someone in that subject successfully before.
Math
Engineering
College entrance exam prep math
Computer Skills
Sports/Recreation
(*) For these courses, I might be able to help, or I might not. It depends on what your issues are. So I need advance notice and we need to talk about these up front
