    Patient and Caring, Expert Math Tutor, 22 years Experience, Certified

    I'm relatable, encouraging, and clear in my instruction. I work hard to ensure every student walks away feeling strengthened and empowered to tackle material independently. I'm committed to the success of my students. In addition to quantitative improvements like grades, I teach students to develop a healthy self-image, self-confidence and optimistic perspectives on learning. My background as an engineer and food scientist gives a strong platform to explain concepts in relatable ways. My background in the arts allows me to creatively customize my instructional methods to each student. Note: I teach general stats, not advanced coursework. “Asher has helped boost my son's confidence with math. The results are clear, my son's scores are going up and with Asher's help he now finds math more enjoyable. Thank you Asher.” Norm S., 35 Lessons “Helped prep my son for his final. Will be using him for next semester as well. Made understanding concepts easier than his schoolteacher. Thank you Asher!” Ann R., 32 lessons “Asher continues to do a wonderful job tutoring my son. He is a fantastic resource, explains things clearly and is very personable. Highly recommended!!" Lara T., 58 lessons “Great tutor, efficient, knowledgeable. Has helped my child tremendously. Great communication and math expertise. Glad to have found this tutor." Amber J., 22 lessons “review was wonderful, Asher is easy to follow and understand, made my son quite comfortable with a difficult subject." Steve S., 11 lessons “My son was very happy with Asher! He explained the lesson clearly specially now when everything is online learning (not all teachers can do that) and my son couldn't be more happy with his results. Thank you Asher!” Monika M., 32 lessons “I didn't expect my weekly sessions with Asher to symbolize a safe 'remote' learning space in the midst of Covid-19 but that's what has happened; he's always very understanding and kind in a way that I can tell runs deeper than politeness, so, if I'm struggling with material (which is often the case) I don't feel ashamed of it . That has helped me do well in the class. I'd recommend Asher to anyone of any level but especially to people who might be apprehensive about tutoring because (just speaking from my own experience) I've encountered less sensitive tutors who might just be super good at the subject but explain it in a way that goes beyond me. Asher's good at explaining but is not patronizing which is great. Lucky to be working with Asher on a pre calc class as a returning student who felt extremely out of practice but actually has fun with math these days!!” Morgan W., 10 Lessons

    Acerca de Asher S.

    I’m a full-time professional teacher, specializing in secondary education since 2000, with experience in many disciplines. My core subjects are math, chemistry, English, exam prep, college & career guidance, statistics, and music. In 2000, I began teaching math to high school and college students while completing my engineering degree. I continued tutoring while working in the food industry as a Senior Food Scientist, Director of Research & Development and Consultant. I completed the Texas Education Association teaching certification in 2011, scoring in the top 2% of all Texas math educators. When the pandemic hit in 2020, I transitioned to full-time online teaching. I'm invested in the success of my students. In addition to improving performance metrics such as homework completion and exam scores, I focus on supporting a healthy self-image, developing confidence, and regaining a fresh perspective on learning. I adapt my tutoring style to suit the individual. I guide students within their areas of interest and personal strengths, to see the patterns, simplicity, and logic to truly understand the core material. I encourage ownership of learning and celebrate successes often! I have two kids of my own, in college and high school. I bring focus, energy and care to each session. In my 22 years of tutoring, I always find the unlocked potential in my students, helping them turn “problems” into solvable puzzles, and usually having fun along the way.
