Corey K. says, "As a mathematician, I know and appreciate a personalized approach to learning mathematics. We hired Mike to help us augment our efforts as well as go beyond what our son is learning in school (1st grade). Our goal is to help our son learn and love mathematics and explore its wonders beyond the unfortunate school curriculums. Mike's experience in tutoring and knowledge of mathematics has been compelling. He is also very patient and has lots of tricks up his sleeve in order to ensure a personalized learning experience. I recommend him to anyone who not only wants their kid to improve on what they are required to learn at school (which is a lot of the boring stuff) as well as get introduced to things that can really get them to engage the subject."

Emel A. says, "Mrs. Bradarich is a great tutor. She has been tutoring both of my children for the last two years.

Jennifer L. says, "Our daughter had college goals in which every point mattered - on her GPA and ACT. We looked at several options for test prep and Joyee had a very no-nonsense, personalized approach. We saw an eight-point increase on her ACT which contributed to not only early acceptance, but a scholarship at a prominent UC school. If results matter, call Joyee. I don’t know how he does it, but he did. Proud of them both." Read more

Throughout my years in school, I really enjoyed learning and teaching mathematics. I would always study my lessons enough to the point where I could comfortably teach them to someone else - this led to me taking on multiple positions as a K-12 Math Tutor. In the six years I have been tutoring math, the most enjoyable moment is seeing my students come to understand something they did not quite understand. I think the best part of the job is when I hardly need to make any corrections because that is how I know my students will do well. I see this as a win-win situation!

My approach is student-centric, collaborating with each individual to identify and focus on goals that they perceive as essential for their own success. I aim to foster student investment in their learning so that they may work toward accomplishments that are meaningful to them. Authentic mastery occurs as concepts are practically applied beyond simple coursework, so as much as possible, I illustrate subject material by directly relating it to areas that are of particular interest to students. This connection leads to active student engagement and strongly retained learning. I enjoy getting to know my students on an individual level and unde

Mrs. Bradarich is a natural born teacher. My children went to the same school (Carden Academy) where Mrs. Bradarich taught for many years. My children have expressed how deeply they appreciate the education they received at Carden Academy. They have also mentioned that many of their college professors and employers have commented how impressed they are with their obtained knowledge. It is a basic education that Mrs. Bradarich can deliver. Sadly, Carden Academy is no longer. I observe the weak education that my grandson (Tyler) is currently receiving; therefore, I asked Mrs. Bradarich to tutor him. What progress Tyler has made in Math, Language, Composition, and Cursive Handwriting! His confidence is improving, as well as his attitude towards school in general, as he experiences success. He loves Mrs. Bradarich, he loves to learn...he is happy, and I am, too!
