About Gary

I have been a teacher and tutor of mathematics in the greater Portland area since 2002. I am currently an adjunct faculty member at Southern Maine Community College as well as an Academic Support tutor at Waynflete School in Portland. Most of my sessions are conducted remotely via Zoom, though I am available to travel to students’ homes, schools, or wherever they feel comfortable working.

My goal when working with a student or a small group of students is to assess their strengths and areas for improvement and equip them to achieve at the highest level possible. I believe that all students can find a satisfying level of comfort and fun when learning math.

About half of my students work with me to overcome math fear, and to overcome difficulty with their schoolwork. The other half of my private students see me for enrichment, with the goal of skipping a class, placing into higher-level courses, or simply maintaining a high grade.

When prepping for standardized tests, like the SAT, ACT, Praxis, etc., my goal is to impart efficient test-taking strategies, while reinforcing mathematical fundamentals that are essential to an individual’s success.
