Algebra 1 Tutoring
About
I have tutored in Algebra 1 for the past 25 years and it's the ONLY math subject I will tutor. If the student has done Algebra 1 with me they will not need my help with Algebra 2. I will have laid the foundation for Algebra. When you complete your request please specify that it's Algebra 1 you want, failing which I will not respond.
I take a student who has hated math and within 2 months the student starts loving the subject, all because they understand the basics and can now apply them.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
The best way, I have found through years of experience, is to give a test to gauge the student's level. I may have to give several going up or down in level to provide me with the math level the student is at.
Remember, a student may be doing work at school, but does not understand the basic concepts of that subject. So we may have to go back and start from a level that he understands.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering
And a Doctorate in Microbiology
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My standard price is $35 per hour
How did you get started teaching?
I got started during my university days and when I went out into the work force, I just carried on. I can take a student who hates the subject and move them to an A. But the student must also participate with homework. Math is practice, practice and practice.
What types of students have you worked with?
All students that come to a tutor generally have a very low grade.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
If any teacher is willing to give the first hour FREE, then all I can say is that teacher must have a very high confidence on his teaching ability
