Math

While teaching high school calculus for 15+ years, I used to joke that I was a “teacher by day and juggler by night.” I’ve spent a lot of time performing as a juggler and have always said that street performing was the best professional development I’ve ever had since students are basically hecklers. Now, I’m a “father by day, and teacher by night.” I’m here to help those struggling “students by night”. I’ve had a lot of success guiding and preparing high school math students and I want to continue to serving them as they navigate the problem solving process. I believe every student can be successful when they have the right guide.

Calculus & math doesn't need to be difficult - you just need the right guide. I've helped students succeed on the AP BC Calculus Exam for 15+ years and most of my students score a 4 or 5. I'll explain things in simple ways and provide strategies that will help you successful. I use research-based learning science and experience as a semi-professional juggler performer that will help you learn and cultivate your motivation.

Mr. Owsley is one of the best math teacher I have met in my life time. I have taken his Calculus BC class when I was a high school student. His class was interactive, inspiring and creative. He impacted me not only mathematically, but also as a human being in shape and form. I am currently a PhD student in math, and I am much in debt in the math education I received from Mr. Owsley. Despite of the fact that I have had a lot of math teachers on my way of doing mathematics, he remains one of my favorite, most inspiring, and motivating teacher. He explains problems with such a passion and clarity that I think his classes are very helpful to students working on the topic of calculus. I will very much recommend working with him through the way of calculus and other mathematical topics.
