About

Great tutoring isn’t about giving answers it is about helping students discover the answers themselves. We guide students step by step, asking questions that spark critical thinking and confidence.

- No rote memorization. The focus is on real understanding.

- Socratic questioning. A conversational approach, where the student must reason and explain their thinking.

- Scaffolding. We offer customized challenges built just beyond your student's comfort zone.

- Reflection & feedback. Thinking about how we learn, what works and doesn't work for each student.

Students don’t just get through homework, they gain problem solving skills, independence, and the confidence to tackle any challenge.

Ready to see your student grow into a stronger, more resilient mathematical thinker? Let’s get started!

We're a father and son team with over a decade of local tutoring experience.

Peter:

I'm an experienced mathematics tutor.

I have a degree in mathematics from University of California at Santa Cruz and I teach statistical reasoning there fall quarter.

I have been tutoring for about eight years. I have experience working with a range of students from from students who are struggling or have learning disabilities, to students looking for advanced material or math olympiad training, and I have worked with students from elementary school to college undergraduate level. I specialize in working with students that have developed math anxiety or are having challenges in math.

I am a junior at University of California at Santa Cruz, where I also tutor mathematics and physics.

I have been tutoring for about 5 years. I have experience tutoring students struggling or needing more challenging work.

We offer a free intro session via Zoom (30 minutes) to see if there is a good match. And we are always happy to answer any questions you have, thank you!

    Peter was an excellent tutor, not only helping with the academic side of things, but also with the encouragement and words of wisdom he gave. Every time I left one of his sessions, I left feeling confident and as though someone believed in me. He was also very good at explaining problems and going over whatever areas that were requested. He was very flexible and understanding, and overall great tutor.

    Peter has truly transformed my childrens relationship with mathematics! From two struggling students, my son has risen to become a math honors student, while my daughter finished the school year with results above her grade level. Its been an incredible journey, and we owe it all to Peters hard work over the past year. Thank you, Peter, for your dedication to my childrens education. We eagerly anticipate further progress ahead!
