About William
I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge of math. Growing up, I was the neighborhood go-to for homework help, and this continued through college. A highlight of my life was getting my daughter into a STEM program at an IVY league school. My dedication to education was further solidified when I was asked to take over an Algebra class as a substitute teacher.
As an Electrical Engineer, I had the same passion as the go-to trainer on numerous engineering projects, demonstrating my ability to break down complex concepts into understandable terms.
I'm still that guy.

My Approach as a Math Tutor
Building Strong Student Relationships and Fostering Learning
I believe that a strong student-tutor relationship is essential for successful learning. By creating a supportive and encouraging environment, I aim to build trust and confidence in my students. I prioritize getting to know each student on a personal level, understanding their learning styles, strengths, and challenges.
Key components of my approach include:
Active Listening: I genuinely care about my students' progress and challenges, creating a space for open communication and feedback.
Empathy and Support: I understand that math can be frustrating at times, and I offer encouragement and motivation to help students persevere.
Personalized Learning Plans: I tailor my teaching methods to each student's individual needs, ensuring that they are challenged and supported appropriately.
Celebrating Successes: Recognizing and celebrating achievements, no matter how small, helps to build students' confidence and motivation.
Teaching Method and Techniques
My teaching philosophy centers on building a strong foundation of understanding. I believe that math is not about memorization but about logical reasoning. My approach involves:
Interactive Learning: I encourage active participation through problem-solving exercises, discussions, and real-world applications.
Visual Aids: Using diagrams, graphs, and other visual tools to help students visualize complex concepts.
Step-by-Step Explanations: Breaking down problems into smaller, manageable steps to foster clarity and confidence.
Personalized Attention: Tailoring lessons to individual learning styles and paces.
Practice and Reinforcement: Providing ample opportunities for practice to solidify understanding.
A Typical Lesson Plan
A typical lesson begins with a brief review of previous concepts to reinforce learning. Then, I introduce new material through clear explanations and examples. We delve into problem-solving exercises, gradually increasing difficulty. Throughout the session, I encourage questions and provide feedback. The lesson concludes with a summary of key points and assignments for practice.
What Sets Me Apart
My engineering background brings a unique perspective to math tutoring. I can connect abstract concepts to real-world applications, making the subject more engaging and relevant. Additionally, my experience as a substitute teacher has honed my ability to adapt to different learning styles and create a supportive learning environment.
Who the Lessons Are For
I specialize in tutoring students from middle school through college-level math courses, including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, and statistics. I can also assist with standardized test preparation (SAT, ACT, GRE). Whether you're struggling with basic concepts or aiming for advanced proficiency, I can help you achieve your goals.
