Experience
I received my Bachelor's and Master's in Mathematics from the University of Texas at San Antonio. I finishegraduate ded there with a 4.0 GPA while in the graduate program. I then was rewarded with the South Texas Fellowship to attend the University of Texas at Austin as a doctorate student to which I have 18 Credits currently. I have several years experience as a college professor and over 10 years as a tutor of all math plus SAT ACT and GRE. I have learned in that time how to present information so that it is not only understandable but meaningful to the persons learning. I not only understand the roots of mathematics but where it all eventually leads at the highest levels. My approach to tutoring is the same as the approach even the greatest mathematicians use. And that is to break new problems down until they look like old problems. The reason students have trouble with math is they don't see the connection between two problems that might have different variables and numbers but are solved in exactly the same way. Once they see the connection their whole attitude towards the subject changes dramatically. TUTORING REVIEWS: "Brandon provides a highly personalized and professional service. He has a great knack for explaining concepts in an easy to understand way. I highly recommend his services if you need help in math, physics or SAT prep". James H "Brandon has been working with our family for the last 3 years. He worked with our older son during his senior year of AP Calc AB and was instrumental to him scoring a 5 on the AP test. He has been working with our younger son the last 2 years through Alg II and now AP Calc AB. Brandon is extremely knowledgeable and easily picks up on what learning style your child needs to be successful. I highly recommend Brandon." Cindy M. "My time with Brandon has been so beneficial. He is very personable, funny, and intelligent. He works with you where you're at and works problems and concepts with you rather than supervising. I improved my GRE score immensely which helped me get into my graduate program." Hannah K. "I wouldn't have been able to get a good grade in Calculus 2 without Brandon's help. His explanations were " Brandon tutored me for Differential Calculus and Sequences, Series, and Multi-variable Calculus. He is very knowledgeable of the subject and also showed me shortcuts to take so I would be able to work through problems quicker. He was patient and explained everything thoroughly to help me have a better understanding of the concepts. He appeared to take my learning personally and certainly helped to increase my confidence. I would highly recommend him as a tutor." Mykaela D.
