Mathematical Thinking
I teach kids who DESPISE math.
I love math, but understand why kids hate it -- it can be pointless and difficult. Worst of all, schools aren't set up to help kids who have poor memories. If a student forgets a concept covered years earlier, they're often out of luck. The textbook assumes his memory, the teacher (hard-pressed to teach 20+ kids at once) simply doesn't have ...
I teach kids who DESPISE math.
I love math, but understand why kids hate it -- it can be pointless and difficult. Worst of all, schools aren't set up to help kids who have poor memories. If a student forgets a concept covered years earlier, they're often out of luck. The textbook assumes his memory, the teacher (hard-pressed to teach 20+ kids at once) simply doesn't have the time to back up and re-teach the forgotten skill.
This is where I come in.
We'll focus on building the student's basic competencies so they make fewer frustrating mistakes, and on exploring some of the fascinating fundamental aspects of math that schools rarely teach. The point of math is to solve puzzles, and puzzle-solving is fun when it's on a student's level.
Throughout, we'll progress through a student's specific deficiencies, and constantly review so real mastery is achieved -- and will be remembered for the next school year!

Review of Seattle SAT Coaching, February 26, 2009
Ever wonder who can get a perfect score on the SAT? Well, this tutor can, and he shares his knowledge enthusiastically with students. Brandon is self-effacing and very approachable, putting kids at ease immediately. He works through problems with them with kindness and patience. My daughter's geometry skills and math confidence have steadily improved with Brandon's help. Another child of mine benefitted from his tips for taking the SAT and ACT standardized tests. His help contributed to her significantly improving her scores.

Review of Seattle SAT Coaching, February 22, 2009
From day one, Brandon provided two key components: a well-thought-out study plan, and just as important a spark for learning. His engaging style and breadth of knowledge was a perfect fit for us. Especially fitting for those with attention challenges, his methods proved to be highly effective.
