About Peter

Great tutoring isn’t about giving answers it is about helping students discover the answers themselves. We guide students step by step, asking questions that spark critical thinking and confidence.

- No rote memorization. The focus is on real understanding.

- Socratic questioning. A conversational approach, where the student must reason and explain their thinking.

- Scaffolding. We offer customized challenges built just beyond your student's comfort zone.

- Reflection & feedback. Thinking about how we learn, what works and doesn't work for each student.

Students don’t just get through homework, they gain problem solving skills, independence, and the confidence to tackle any challenge.

Ready to see your student grow into a stronger, more resilient mathematical thinker? Let’s get started!

We're a father and son team with over a decade of local tutoring experience.

Ask us AP test prep support in Calculus, Physics, Statistics, English and Computer Science!

Peter:

I'm an experienced mathematics tutor.

I have a degree in mathematics from University of California at Santa Cruz and I teach statistical reasoning there fall quarter.

I have been tutoring for about eight years. I have experience working with a range of students from from students who are struggling or have learning disabilities, to students looking for advanced material or math olympiad training, and I have worked with students from elementary school to college undergraduate level. I specialize in working with students that have developed math anxiety or are having challenges in math.

Jack:

I am a junior at University of California at Santa Cruz, where I also tutor mathematics and physics.

I have been tutoring for about 5 years. I have experience tutoring students struggling or needing more challenging work.

We offer a free intro session via Zoom (30 minutes) to see if there is a good match. And we are always happy to answer any questions you have, thank you!

I started teaching when I was a student and the first course I taught was computer programming.

I have a degree in mathematics and 30 years experience in applied mathematics.

About the lesson

I review students goals and current chalenges, establish a plan for success, and spend some time getting to know their work style and interests.

I offer a no fee meeting with parents and student to kick things off 15-30 minutes via Zoom. We discuss objectives and do a few math problems together.

All ages and all abilities including students with math anxiety and those seeking advanced topics and challenge problems.

Meet them online and see if you can work with them.

All three of my sons are currently in college!

Perfect! Peter has truly transformed my children's relationship with mathematics! From two struggling students, my son has risen to become a math honors student, while my daughter finished the school year with results above her grade level. It's been an incredible journey, and we owe it all to Peter's hard work over the past year. Thank you, Peter, for your dedication to my children's education. We eagerly anticipate further progress ahead!

Peter was an excellent tutor, not only helping with the academic side of things, but also with the encouragement and words of wisdom he gave. Every time I left one of his sessions, I left feeling confident and as though someone believed in me. He was also very good at explaining problems and going over whatever areas that were requested. He was very flexible and understanding, and overall great tutor.
