Hi, my name is Maddy, and I'm currently an undergraduate student majoring electrical engineering. I've always been fascinated with mathematical, scientific, philosophical, and technological topics and I love looking for ways to improve old systems. My goals with pursuing an electrical engineering degree is to move internationally and work in alternative energy (aka renewable energy), but no matter where I end up living I hope to be able to help that city's underserved communities. I provide one-on-one tutoring for STEM subjects, ranging from elementary school to the undergraduate level of topics, and have 4 years of experience tutoring K-1

Teaching is a hobby of mine, it is something I enjoy to do and I grew up in because my parents, grandparents and most of my family members are teachers. I went to school in US Naval Academy as a Math Major. I won Best in Math both high school and college. I learned different techniques in terms of Math when I was growing up in the Philippines and here in the US.

Monjolaoluwa says, "It was a life saver, I was at a E in math and was considering dropping the course as a whole. Olasubomi helped me motivated me to get my grade up to a C, I believe I could have finished with an A or B had I seemed help earlier. I strongly recommend Olasubomi to any struggling college students at their lowest or if you would like a head start in your class at the beginning, he tackles all areas and leaves nothing untouched making sure you understand and are learning as you go."

How do I know if my child needs a math tutor?

  • They are excelling in school and need more challenging tasks
  • You are no longer able to provide help with homework or learning
  • They have a learning disability

How many math tutoring sessions are needed?

Tutors suggest a minimum of one tutoring session per week until students build confidence, understand the subject, and improve grades. Sometimes, a few tutoring sessions can help students get back on track and regain confidence. If the student struggles in two or more classes, more sessions are recommended. On average, students take 9 to 50 sessions.

What do private math tutors do?

Math tutors are responsible for helping students with homework, teaching various mathematical concepts, motivating and boosting confidence, and teaching skills like note-taking, studying, and test-taking. Math tutors also show how to perform calculations, processes, and computations to complete their assignments.

What qualities make a good math tutor?

Look for the following qualities in a math tutor:

  • Expertise and knowledge on the subject

Andrew was a great tutor for my daughter. He takes the time to explain the math concepts for calculus and insists on writing the formulas down. Hope I can keep him for next year too. He's so patient and even brought his old math books. If you can get him, keep him.
