When I began tutoring a few years ago, I firmly believed that anyone could do well in mathematics, all the way through Calculus, provided you are relatively fluent in a few formulas and make time for regular problem sets. My experience over that time has only confirmed my suspicions, and its has been a great pleasure to work with many of my students. I have always found joy in getting to the point of a big concept and keeping the focus on the purposeful real-world applications that many of ...

I am a college student with Asperger Syndrome and ADHD. For several days I was trying to study logarithms (topic) on my own, with textbooks and YouTube videos, and with the peer tutors provided by the university. But it still didn't make any sense. I spent 45 minutes working with Charles and he was able to find the root cause of the problem and address it. He told me that a logarithm is a PROCEDURE... and everything made a lot more sense after that. I was confused about "what a logarithm is?" I was mistaking it for some kind of weird notation or symbol. (like a degree symbol) Once I understood that "to take a logarithm" is a PROCEDURE just like "multiplication"... everything else that I was trying to learn from the textbook made a lot more sense! I am very happy with my choice. My time with Charles was a great investment and I understand all topics related to logarithms a lot better now. It is pretty rare to find someone who specializes on Math remediation at the college level and is proficient in helping students with special needs. I would recommend Charles, especially when you already tried everything else.

We?ve only had 2 lessons so far. He does a good job explaining things to my daughter and making sure that she understands it. (She really hates math.) Hopefully this will be turning point for her. He is patient and friendly while being simplistic which she appreciates,

My son has had positive things to say about his sessions with Charles. He is helping him get a better understanding of the formulas.

He was able to help our son work through a number of assignments. Charles has a great attitude and works well with students.

We just had our second session with Charles and I'm even more impressed with his easy-going manner, his initiative to come up with lesson material at the end of summer/before school has started, and most importantly discovering where my son is getting hung up with his understanding of math concepts. Thanks so much Charles!

We went over Linear/nonlinear convergent divergent series and infinite sums etc... Equations of circles parabolas and hyperabolas. Note, Charles is very good at explaining things like asymptotes for rational function, helps you visualize where they would be on a graph without needing to see the graph, and how to identify common mistakes people make, not just for the previously mentioned but for pretty much anything.

My 12 year old son has been working with Charles for a few months now learning how to organize his thoughts and create high quality work in writing and math. Our son enjoys working with Charles and has incorporated a lot of his suggestions into his work. His writing has improved and his math work has become more organized and easier to follow.
- Liane R. from Berkeley, CA
We are really enjoying and impressed with the relationship Charles and our son are developing. Charles has a unique way of empowering our son to want to do his best and do it the "smart" way. Charles has given him tricks on how to study for tests and how to check his work. The tricks are practical and easy for him to understand and practice. Charles has a unique way of talking to both of our sons, in a way that is not intimidating but engaging. They want to talk to Charles about what they are studying and tell him how they are doing in school. We are really grateful that Charles is helping our son.
- Tina H. from Alameda, CA
Our initial interviews and discussions have been excellent. He's honest, straightforward and on time. He is interested in how our son learns and he wants to help make learning easier.

Charles helped me review everything from limits, to natural logs, to various types of differentiating equations. He combined a use of intuitive learning with detailed examples and practice problems to illustrate his point.
