Having difficulty with your math courses?

Need help studying for the mathematics portion of SAT, ACT, FTCE, ASTB, OAR, PCAT, CLEP, PERT, TABE, HESI or other standardized tests?

I have 32 years of experience teaching mathematics courses at various colleges and universities in the US. I have a Masters degree and a Doctorate (Ph.D.) in Applied Mathematics from Florida State University and have taught each of the courses algebra, pre-calculus, trigonometry, calculus 1, 2, 3 at least 30 times during my teaching career and have tutored many local high school and college students in the past. I believe that I have good ability to put difficult and challenging concepts into easy to understand language.

I provide private one-on-one tutoring for high school and college courses in the subjects listed above, as well as geometry, finite mathematics, statistics, AP calculus AB/BC and differential equations. I also provide private one-on-one tutoring for middle school students taking advanced or accelerated math courses, FLVS students or home-schooled students. I held the position of "professional mathematics tutor" at Jacksonville University for several years. I taught the courses Intermediate Algebra, College Algebra, Pre-calculus, Calculus 1 and 2 and Differential Equations during the past several years.

I normally meet students at the Pablo Creek Public Library (13295 Beach Blvd.) . I can also meet UNF students at the campus library. The tutoring is conducted in a light mannered, friendly and informal atmosphere in which I frequently ask the student if he/she follows each step in solving a problem, and the student is encouraged to speak and stop me during any part of solving a problem if he/she has questions or does not follow a solution step. Below are a few sample PDF files of actual tutoring sessions with various students:

I charge $60 (please see all rates below) per hour of tutoring most courses and honestly my first hour of tutoring is free if you don't feel that you have been sufficiently helped by my tutoring. I am patient and will make certain that you have a good understanding of the concepts and the steps involved in solving mathematics problems. I can share my university degrees and official students' evaluation of my teaching ability with you, if needed. Other professional references are available upon request. Please call 904-515-2026 and please leave a message if I am not present to answer your call.

The rate for other mathematics courses not listed above vary depending on the course level.

** The rate for meeting at a location other than those listed above will include an extra trip charge depending on the travel distance and time.

I generally conduct one-on-one private mathematics tutoring in the library but I also offer online tutoring using Microsoft Teams (I will provide the student a well-organized PDF file of the problems solved during the online session). For more information about the tutoring please call or text 904-515-2026.

Online Tutoring In addition to "in-person" tutoring, I offer one-on-one online tutoring using a note-writing software (or an interactive whiteboard) that lets you see my writings and hear my voice in real time. At the end of the session, I will forward you a PDF file of the notes and problems solved during the tutoring session.
