    Learn the power of trigonometry with the guidance of this math pro.

    Trigonometry is an elegant subject of math. When I took it I was so fascinated by it that it became one of my strongest subjects. This has given me the edge of knowing where students struggle in the subject and from experience tutoring it, how to present the topics in the most simplistic manner. My lessons will cover how to interpret the six trigonometric functions properly, clear techniques on how to graph trigonometric functions, strategies for solving trig-identities, how you can derive all of the Pythagorean identities starting from the Pythagorean Theorem, how to derive and solve problems that use The Law of Sines and Law of Cosines, understanding complex numbers, and how to translate to polar coordinates using the definition of sine and cosine. If you are struggling in any of these areas, I am the tutor you can count on to help clear the air!

    About Corey S.

    Hi I’m Corey, a computer science graduate from UCSD who has a genuine appreciation for the study of math and computer science. I also have a passion for helping students excel in their academic goals. My motivation comes from my own experience, from a poor educational background in grade school to graduating from a highly accredited university. This journey has enabled me to see the detail in how education shapes lives and how a negative experience from it can hold back otherwise great students from achieving extraordinary accomplishments. When this happens, I consider it to be the biggest let down for a student, and even more, an unfortunate loss for society. It's where I get my passion from and it’s what drives me to teach, motivate, and inspire students to pursue STEM or any other academic field. I know from my tutoring experience that every student is not just worthy of academic success but is more than capable of it. It is, however, largely up to the teacher’s ability to guide students to their success, and that’s something I'm proud to say I can do. For me, being a tutor is more than just going over homework problems or helping students prepare for an exam. Instead, it's helping students create a vision for themselves where they can discover their own passion and purpose that excites them to set high goals and encourages them to achieve. My success as a tutor is centered on providing students with a foundation of first principles, discussing the motivation behind concepts, and showing how they connect to other topics. I see the world of math and computer science as being a map where each topic is like a town where some are big and some are small, but in any case they’re all connected. Thus, as I give the zoomed in details of a topic, I also provide the bigger picture overview, showing how that topic fits into the overall map and how it connects to other topics. What I like about this approach is that it helps students avoid becoming lost in abstraction, and instead shows them exactly where they’re at in the subject while also equipping them with the finer details. The outcome is that when students understand where they are on this map, they develop a stronger curiosity to learn more. It also helps them apply what they know through a critical thinking lens to solve problems, versus solving by memorization - which is what the point of education is. Simply put, I'm the tutor you can count on to teach you how to think, problem-solve, and also help guide you to your own educational achievements.
