About Douglas
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello! My name is Doug. I just left my position as a math teacher after 10. 5 years and am looking for opportunities to bring my tutoring skills to individual students. Grades I can tutor in are 3 - 9 (math) and 3 - 12 (reading and writing). My personality: quick-witted, honorable, and empathetic. I like tutoring because I can help students not just with the subject matter but also with improving their confidence. I'm looking for a job that has flexibility in the schedule. I enjoy helping people with their struggles and problem-solving. I started tutoring in 2002 when I worked at Sylvan Learning Center. I also tutored a friend in 2010 who needed help with college math to get her Bachelor's Degree. (She got it!). In my spare time, I like to read political news, spend time with friends/family, record music, and hug my dog. I'm patient, kind, and non-judgmental. I treat all my students with respect. My skills include listening, clear communication, and empathy.

A Truly Exceptional Math Tutor I cannot say enough wonderful things about Doug and his tutoring style. From the very first session, it was clear that he not only has a deep mastery of mathematics but also a true passion and talent for teaching. He has an incredible ability to break down complex concepts into easy-to-understand explanations, making even the most challenging topics approachable. What truly sets Doug apart is his genuine care for his students. He is always available for extra help, whether during office hours or via email, and he went above and beyond to ensure that I had the support I need to succeed. His patience, encouragement, and enthusiasm creates a welcoming learning environment where I feel comfortable asking questions and pushing myself to improve. Thanks to Doug, I not only gained a stronger understanding of math but also a newfound confidence in my abilities. I highly recommend Doug to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and inspiring tutor.
