Why Private Tutoring?

Not all students learn at the same pace. You are not likely to get personal attention from your instructor in a class of 20-30 students. With one-on-one and small group instruction, we can quickly recognize your strengths and weaknesses and adjust the lessons accordingly.

The key to student-centered tutoring is communication. You may be unwilling to freely state your thoughts when learning in a classroom, due to fear of looking foolish to your instructor and classmates. As your tutor, there is no penalty from me when you are incorrect. When you err, I correct your reasoning, and you learn from it, so that you do not make the same error when it counts.

About the Tutor

Mike Daub is currently a community college mathematics instructor. He earned a master’s degree in physics from UC Berkeley and two bachelor’s degrees in mathematics and physics from Penn State.

He previously taught as a community college physics instructor and a high school math and physics teacher, and he previously tutored students in physics, calculus, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and standardized test preparation.

Online Tutoring

Mike is available to tutor online using Skype and IDroo software.

Skype is a free communication software application that allows users to connect over the internet via instant messaging, voice call, and videoconferencing. Calls to other users within the Skype service are free.

IDroo is an online multi-user whiteboard which connects through Skype. It is suitable for communicating by writing mathematical equations and drawing figures, which cannot be effectively sent using only instant messaging.
