About
Hi!
My name is Roy and I'm a high school math teacher. I've been tutoring for 8 years now and love working one on one or with small groups. I tutor any level up to Pre-Calculus plus ACT and SAT prep.
I think the success of tutoring depends largely on the connection made between student and teacher and that's what I strive for.
