About Me

Hi Learners, I am Brandon. I have been tutoring since 2018, and I have stood out for really strong skills with fractions, multiplication tricks, factoring equations, and visualizing math concepts. I have a bachelor's in animation, so I want to show people from all walks of life can learn and appreciate math.

Tutoring Style

I try to make my tutoring sessions as accommodating for learning and growth as possible. I am a calm and understanding person, I try to show the big simple ideas of a concept, and then demonstrate how to perform the skills while trying to get my students involved in the steps with me. I think tutoring time is best managed by getting a few samples scattered throughout the assignment, versus running out of time without getting to the intermediate and advanced problems. If I, the student, and the guardians keep a great line of communication it makes great lasting results. Last, I believe in academic honesty, tutoring is not paying for answers and a letter grade, but making sure the student absorbs mastery of the subject from the tutor.

Success Story

I was instructing a 12-class course called "Bridging The Gap In Geometry last Summer. Being an original course I made a custom curriculum summarizing what a condensed geometry year would look like. The students really got to visualize the math with geometric constructions, and deriving formulas with interactive websites. A few students really took a hunger and asked &answered many questions, and wanted all the resources I shared. They were saddened when our course came to an end, wouldn't you say that's a different kind of success story?

Hobbies & Interests

I enjoy watching and drawing anime. I illustrate and publish books I enjoy a variety of YouTube channels from food reviewers, car channels, art channels, Christian content, skits and comedians, nostalgic type channels, rollercoasters, and math YouTubers. I enjoy reading Reddit posts, memes, and wikis. I have collected Musical instruments. I've had 2 tenor trombones, one alto trombone, a bass trombone, a soprano trombone, a C valve trombone, and a trumpet.
