"Hi, I’m Rich, a credentialed high-school math teacher at a top Southern California school. I currently teach Geometry and Honors Geometry, and have also taught Algebra 1 and Precalculus during my 4+ years in education.

If your student is still struggling after class instruction, it’s not because they’re incapable — it’s because they’ve already seen how to do it, but haven’t had the chance to truly do it. In class, teachers do an excellent job explaining concepts; in tutoring, I fill the next step — guiding students as they work through problems hands-on, speak their reasoning aloud, and put their thinking into clear written steps. This process turns memorization into genuine understanding.

I also understand the world your student is navigating — social pressure, extracurricular overload, and endless digital distractions can make focus and confidence harder than ever. My sessions adapt to each learner’s pace, helping them rebuild both skill and self-belief while developing habits that last beyond math class.

In my own classes, I track student data, and year after year those who work closely with me show significant gains in confidence, engagement, and performance. Parents tell me homework time becomes calmer, grades rise steadily, and — best of all — their kids start to enjoy math again.

If you want a tutor who combines proven classroom expertise with empathy, structure, and real results, I’d love to help your student turn confusion into clarity — and anxiety into confidence." less...
