"I’m Shayan, a math tutor with a strong academic foundation and a passion for helping students truly understand mathematics. I hold an Associate’s Degree in Mathematics Studies and am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance at San Diego State University, where I continue to build my skills in quantitative reasoning and problem-solving. My coursework includes subjects through Calculus, Statistics, and advanced applied math used in business and finance, giving me both a solid theoretical and practical grasp of the subject.

I’ve been tutoring math for over four years, working with students from middle school through college. My experience includes serving as a Lead Instructor at Mathnasium, where I guided students individually and in small groups on topics ranging from basic arithmetic to calculus. I also volunteered at Crawford High School, teaching AP Calculus to students from underrepresented backgrounds, helping them strengthen their understanding and improve test scores. These experiences taught me to adapt my methods to each student’s learning style, pace, and confidence level.

My approach is patient, structured, and focused on clarity. I believe in teaching students the why behind each concept rather than relying on memorization. I use step-by-step explanations, visuals, and guided practice to make complex ideas approachable. Whether a student struggles with algebraic fundamentals or wants to excel in higher-level math, I take pride in creating an encouraging environment that builds both skill and self-belief." less...
