About
At Beacon Academics, we prioritize understanding exactly 'why' students are struggling in order to best help them turn around and thrive.
You will be paired with the founder, Vincent, who has 5000+(!) hours experience tutoring young people from Prealgebra through Multivariable calculus. Earning his Bachelor's in Mathematics and his Master's in Higher Education, his credentials reflect his in-depth knowledge of the education system in general. Needless to say, you will be in good hands :)
As we like to say, time to seize your education!
What I enjoy most about tutoring is helping students, no matter the age, realize that they can accomplish so much more than they think--even just through a shift of mentality.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
In essence, it's a highly tailored experience. With my students, I(Vincent) emphasize that becoming a strong student may take time. Through conversations with both the student and their parent(s) about their academic progress, I then work with them to find the best methods of instruction for their particular situation.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My experience has directly prepared me for full-time tutoring. I hold a Bachelors in Mathematics and Masters in Higher Education & Student Affairs, both from Indiana University.
While at IU, I served as Assistant Coordinator for the university's on-site academic support center. Previously, I worked as an undergraduate tutor focusing on both Mathematics and College Writing.
Furthermore, I have worked in the ed tech startup field specifically on websites geared towards college prep.
