"My name is Archie, and I LOVE math, ever since I was in second grade. In my senior year in HS, I took AP Calculus AB and BC at the same time, and then majored in math in college, and went on to grad school to learn as much math as I could!

I earned my B.A. in mathematics (with a minor in computer science) from the University of San Diego (USD) and my Ph.D. in mathematics from UCSD. I have been tutoring students since I was in high school, including students from high schools and universities - local, all over the US, and Australia!

I am currently (SY 2023-2024) teaching Precalculus at SCY High and Torah High. I previously taught Statistics, Precalculus, and AP Calculus AB at SCY High and Prealgebra at AoPS Academy.

This past summer, I taught Math Bridge (IM1-3) at Hamilton Education.

I was an Adjunct Professor at San Diego Mesa College, where I taught Pre-Algebra, Elementary and Intermediate Algebra, Trigonometry, College and Matrix Algebra, Elementary Statistics, Pre-Calculus, Calculus with Analytic Geometry I/II/III, Discrete Mathematics, Introduction to Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations.

I have also taught at the local universities. At SDSU, I taught Fundamentals of Mathematics, Intermediate Algebra, Topics in Mathematics, Linear Algebra, History of Mathematics, and Algebraic Structures. At UCSD, I taught Calculus II. At USD, I taught Intermediate Algebra, College Algebra, Calculus I/II, and Applied Mathematics for Science and Engineering I/II.

I have also been tutoring students/professionals in GMAT Quant, GRE/SAT/ASVAB/TEAS/CBEST Math, SAS, SQL, MATLAB, Mathematica, and Microsoft Excel.

Before teaching, I was a SAS programmer at various companies.

When I was in grad school, I was a TA for Introduction to Differential Equations, Number Theory, and Partial Differential Equations.

My approach to tutoring is the Socratic method, which is the use of open-ended questions to engage a student in discussion and guide him/her towards some kind of insight." less...
