My name is Dan Tripamer. I have been teaching high school mathematics for 29 years. 27 of those, I have specialized in geometry. I am currently teaching pre-calculus. I also teach at the College of Southern Nevada, where I have taught pre-calculus, college algebra, and fundamentals of college mathematics.

While I was in the Army, I volunteered as a tutor in the Laubach Literacy program. This valuable experience inspired me to go back to school to learn more about the English language and the craft of writing. Thus, in 2016 I completed my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Applied Linguistics at the University of Arizona - Global Campus. And in 2022 I completed my Master of Arts degree in English and Creative Writing at Southern New Hampshire University. My studies included nonfiction writing (essay, composition, memoir), fiction writing (short story, novel, screen-writing), ESL/ELL, language learning disorders, American literature, and other subjects

I was an English teacher for 11 years. Back home in the Philippines, I taught Grammar, Literature, Developmental Reading, and Speech. I was also a Class Adviser for Grade levels 9 and 10 for 7 years in a Co- educational Catholic school. When I immigrated to the US, I was a pre-school assistant teacher and a Summer school English teacher for Grades 7 in New Jersey. And when I moved to California, I was a tutor of grades 1-3 students.

I am an upcoming high school graduate. I like to keep myself busy with my 10+ extracurriculars and 5+ AP classes. I can be trusted with many responsibilities and maintain an efficient work ethic. I am very passionate about many things but especially the performing arts and sciences. I believe empathy is one of the most important qualities in a person.

20 years teaching high school English at college/Honors/AP levels. Primary focus is on creating analytical paragraphs that support the promise of the introduction and the importance of the conclusion. I develop skills for logos, pathos, and ethos, showing students how to weave all together toward their writing purpose. I am fluent in all types of essays (timed format, Rogerian, Toulmin) and personal essays for college or scholarship acceptance. Fast results. Highly effective for students who wish to master timed essay writing.
