My approach

Improving Understanding

Math can seem overwhelming when you feel you are missing important concepts or falling behind. Our sessions start with where you are and build off your current foundation.

We will first identify concepts that are causing difficulty, then work through problems together and develop strategies you will be able to use independently.

Understand the material. Build confidence. Become a stronger problem solver.

Zac, Math with Zac tutor

I currently work as the Lead Tutor at a university mathematics and statistics center. In my career, I have spent more than 20 years tutoring students, eight years teaching college mathematics, and three years teaching high school mathematics.

I have also received multiple university awards for outstanding service and commitment to student success.

My approach is straightforward: meet students where they are, explain ideas clearly, and help them develop the confidence and skills to work independently.

I have experience working with all types of learners and can often adapt my approach to the way they learn best.

I do not want students to leave a session simply knowing how to solve one problem. I want them to leave with more confidence and a better awareness of how they learn.

"I understand this now. I can do this."
