"Hi, my name is Grant. I graduated from the California Institute of Technology in 2014 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied and Computational Math. After graduation, I was recruited as the Robotics Program Developer at the Pasadena Educational Foundation, serving middle schools across Pasadena, California. I moved to eastern Pennsylvania at the end of 2016 to be closer to family.

I've been tutoring math and physics for almost 8 years, starting in my junior year of high school. At the time, I was taking a class in differential equations at a local community college. One of my classmates there offered to pay me to work with him one-on-one to improve his understanding of the material. That was my first introduction to the concept of tutoring, and I found I had a natural gift for it and loved helping students gain confidence while improving their skills.

I tutor because I see a lack of proper learning relationships between teacher and student in today's educational system. I seek to provide that relationship, which is one I believe every student needs in order to excel.

I specialize in tutoring every kind of math from pre-algebra to calculus, differential equations, and statistics. I also tutor physics and SAT test prep.

In total, I've probably had several thousand hours of tutoring experience with students from almost every educational background and grade level, from 4th graders to college seniors to adults wanting to learn something new. The vast majority of this experience has been in one-on-one tutoring, but I've also worked with small groups (2-5 students), and even entire middle school classrooms on occasion.

I enjoy solving puzzles, building robots, and playing video games. I try to channel my analytical skills when tutoring into helping my student work through a problem in an understandable sequence of steps. If one approach doesn't work, I try a different one, until I find the one that works best with that particular student.
