# Schoolwork

Known for providing by far the best one-on-one tutoring for high school and middle school students, grades 7-12. Private instruction for students who either need to catch up, improve grades, or excel beyond their class. Work with the student’s curriculum, teach the material in the way each individual student learns best, detailed decomposition of and clear solutions to problems, and augment the material. Correctly build or rebuild foundations, develop proper understanding, improve study habits, test taking abilities, organizational skills, self-esteem and confidence.

Keep in mind that an equation, fact, or method that is merely memorized will easily be forgotten. A student who does well by just memorizing or following fixed procedures will later find themselves with a serious disadvantage. I emphasize proper comprehension and the ability to creatively use knowledge. This is the intent of school exams, standardized tests such as the SAT and ACT, and college success. The goal is not just to get into the college of choice, but also to succeed there.

Also, whether studying math or science with me, or pursuing other academic subjects, the writings of Quintilian (ancient Rome) on education are insightful and relevant for parents and students. Consider them required reading for parents!

I am proud to provide vastly superior teaching (forgive the immodesty, but what’s true is true). Results matter and the most important validation is what parents and students have to say, so please take a moment to read through the constantly growing list of hundreds of detailed parent and student testimonials with prominent named confirmations. Reading through these reviews will be more informative than anything I could write on this web page.

Find all three different cube roots of 8 (hint, think complex numbers). This problem looks simple, but it’s not.
