"Hello, and welcome to Corey L. Tutoring.

I believe that everyone has the potential to accomplish great feats and do their part to make the world a better place. Often, we face challenging obstacles that we struggle to overcome alone. I’m here to help people triumph over their challenges and achieve their goals.

How I Help

When I tutor, my job goes beyond helping a student pass a test.

Every topic we learn, we review and build on the fundamentals that came before. Many students today are victims of a test-obsessed education system that teaches them how to pass their next test, but not how to understand and apply the material to future lessons. As a result, many students start to struggle with subjects they once enjoyed, and they can’t figure out why. Often, the student actually understands the current material, but struggles because of simple mistakes from concepts they were supposedly taught long before. Instead, my students and I rebuild the fundamentals alongside their new topics. As a result, we don’t just ace the test; we revitalize the student’s confidence.

Every topic we learn, we also practice skill of learning. Learning should be a life-long pursuit, yet our education system never explicitly teaches students how to learn. When I tutor, “How to Learn” is the most important skill I teach. Every lesson, we go beyond how to solve questions on a test; we practice thought experiments and abstract reasoning, and we connect the current concept to principles from past lessons and “sneak peeks” of future material. When I do my job, we create a self-sufficient learner who no longer needs me. That’s my definition of success.

I recently checked-in with a former student’s mother, just to ask how he was. I did not ask for feedback, but I got the following response:

“Tristan does really well. He just started his junior year [in college]. Time is really whizzing by! Currently a cumulative GPA of 3.989. I strongly believe the reason he does so well (other than working hard, which he does) is due to your help at the" less...
