About Justin


Bio

As a tutor, my most experienced fields, as well as the ones I enjoy working in the most, involve the high school and college level maths and sciences. More specifically I excel in tutoring algebra, calculus, physics, chemistry, astronomy, and computer science.

I attended the Colorado School of Mines for college for four years, and during my last years there I worked as a tutor for Academic Services to help fellow Mines students. I was also the instructor for a short summer Calculus course...

As a tutor, my most experienced fields, as well as the ones I enjoy working in the most, involve the high school and college level maths and sciences. More specifically I excel in tutoring algebra, calculus, physics, chemistry, astronomy, and computer science.

I attended the Colorado School of Mines for college for four years, and during my last years there I worked as a tutor for Academic Services to help fellow Mines students. I was also the instructor for a short summer Calculus course during those years as part of a summer camp introduction to engineering for minority high school students. Since college, I have participated in volunteer high school tutoring, and have done many private tutoring sessions with various students ranging from middle and high school math and science students, to college level calculus and physics students, to continuing education adults who need a refresher.

I do not give out answers, I believe in guiding the student to the correct answer. I begin by reviewing the course material and understanding the student's knowledge on the topic, so that I can understand what particular approach their course instructor is showing them, and then I will adapt my tutoring style to try and match it. If this first approach fails, then we begin to look at different ways of understanding and working through a problem. Different students learn differently...some are more visual learners, others are better at brute force memorization. I believe in working through different approaches until we find one that works the best for the student.

I am also a certified private pilot, I play piano, and I love computers, music, science, and especially astronomy.

Five star tutor

Justin is the ultimate teacher's assistant. He is able to take concepts a teacher has outlined, and explain them in multiple different ways to help ensure understanding and retention. He is extremely patient, and is never condescending. Beyond just his thorough knowledge of the topic, he has a passion for math and science that is contagious. I have had tutors before, as well as hired tutors for my teen age children, and have never come across someone who is so genuinely good at inspiring and motivating learning. He comes prepared to every session, and ensures that the session objectives are achieved. On top of that he is easy to reach, easy to communicate with and is always on time and professional with a positive attitude. I would highly recommend him.

Good teacher

He was really patient with me. I'm a slow learner and he really took his time to make sure I understand the content that I was having a hard time in.

Victor, 1 lesson with Justin

very clear and patient

My 10th grader is struggling with this crazy accelerated pandemic session, and feels he is falling behind everyday in AP Comp Sci. Just had first session with Justin, and he was very patient, clear, confident and good at identifying strengths and gaps.

Patient and genuine

Justin took the time to get to know Nathan and was able to connect in a meaningful way! He is an excellent tutor.

Great Calculus tutor

The short time Justin spent in preparing my son for college Calculus was extremely helpful. He was able to identify and help him with other math areas he was weak in and needed to be stronger in that would help him be successful with Calculus. As a parent I liked that he provided him with homework and kept me updated on his progress. I would definitely use him again if needed.

Very patient and knowledgeable

Justin helped me with Java and was very patient and thorough. He made sure I understood everything before moving forward. Would recommend his services to anyone that needs help.
