Ryan
Specializing in AB/BC/multivariate calculus (and beyond!)
I've got 12 years of tutoring experience ranging from remedial algebra through third semester calculus. I've helped numerous students through AP Calculus AB (and BC) in addition to subjects in preparation (pre-calculus and the algebras). I have a degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin. I generally have the student work through a problem first by themselves and then work with them through step-by-step, discussing strategies for approaching similar problem...

Ryan completely clicked with my son. My son welcomes the help and has seen great results at school. I recommend him without reservation.

Put me at ease. I felt comfortable asking questions. He explained each problem step-by-step, helping me see how each problem was solved. Ryan understands the calculus curriculum completely. Great choice of tutor.

Such a good experience with Ryan! I wanted my daughter to have a good review and help with certain concepts before her semester final, as she was right on the line between an A and a B for the class. She got a high A on the test and an A for the semester. Thanks Ryan! Ryan responded very quickly when we contacted him. He was able to fit a session with her into what sounds like a very busy tutoring schedule. He confidently (though kindly) scoffed at my offer to pay for some prep time in addition to the actual tutoring session. No need. He jumped right in and used the session time very effectively. He worked practice problems side by side with her and quickly zeroed in on the areas where she needed reinforcement, with great results. Highly recommend.
