"I hold a master's degree in mathematics from Brandeis University where I studied hyperbolic spaces and groups, a bachelor's degree in applied mathematics from Southern New Hampshire University, and I am licensed to teach high school mathematics in the state of Massachusetts. I am a member of the National Tutoring Association and I have experience in and a proven track record over the last 5 years of increasing confidence and performance for students. In my time tutoring, I have received overwhelmingly positive feedback including a personal distinction of being "the best tutor [one student] ever had." Other testimonials include statements like "[Drew is] one of the best math tutors I've had on [this platform]. [He] refused to move on until I learned something and also was very patient with me." I tutor numerous high school and undergraduate topics successfully, including: Algebra I/II, Geometry, Pre-calculus, Calculus I/II/III, Differential Equations, Discrete Math, Math Proofs, Statistics, Linear Algebra, Mathematical Modeling/Non-Linear Dynamics, Abstract Algebra, Real Analysis, Topology, Mathematics of Cryptography, Graph Theory, and Number Theory.

I'm sure many people reading this have heard someone say that they aren't a math person (perhaps it was even you). Often, the sentiment is that one's brain needs to be "wired" for mathematics, or that people who excel in math hold some innate gift. This is not very accurate. I am a firm believer in the notion that no one is a "non-math" person. When a student is allowed to discover new concepts in an adaptable environment, mathematical ideas can really "sink" in. My personal style is to put less emphasis on rote and memorization while delving into truly understanding what is being taught. This makes homework quicker and test time easier - especially for those who get stressed during exams. I recognize that every person learns differently, so we will take our time to tailor our sessions to your particular learning style." less...
