What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
LA Math Tutoring was founded by David Jia with the goal to empower people through education. David Jia began tutoring professionally at 17 years old in the subjects of math and reading for Kumon Learning Center. After attaining a perfect 800 math score and 690 English score on the SAT, he was awarded a scholarship to attend the University of Miami. While working towards earning his Bachelor of Business Administration degree, he continued to tutor privately. Following graduation, David moved to California, where he studied at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and taught for several local tutoring agencies. Finally after years of teaching for other tutoring companies, he decided to start his own business: LA Math Tutoring.
Throughout David's teaching career, he has tutored countless students of all ages and grades (children and adults), in groups and one-on-one, and in the areas of test preparation, academic support, and special needs. He has expertise with preparing students for various exams, such as the SAT, ACT, PSAT, SSAT, ISEE, HSPT, GED, etc. Additionally, he has collaborated with major textbook companies Larson Texts, Big Ideas Learning, and Big Ideas Math as an instructor for their educational online videos. Although David loves teaching math the most, he also has experience tutoring reading, writing, science, social studies, guitar, music theory, and Mandarin Chinese.
