☎Math Tutor and UCLA Professor: STATS, CALCULUS & more (awards) (Westwood)

Intro: I am Duncan, a UCLA professor with a strong background in both pure and applied Math. I have also helped hundreds of students as a math tutor over the years. My experience as an educator spans over 20 years. I have been teaching mostly undergraduate and graduate college classes but I have also been working with people with interesting math projects both within and outside of Academia as well as numerous people interested in self-study and improvement of their math skills, which is one of my most popular requests.

How am I different from other Tutors? First of all, I consider myself more of an educator and less of a tutor. This means that my approach is based on long lasting learning, rather than simple memorizing or regurgitating. Having said that, I am obviously willing to help you prepare for math assignments and exams by walking you through them step by step. This does not mean however, that the process should not be enjoyable and educational. This is where I come in!

Philosophy: I take my job very seriously because I am a firm believer that your success is directly correlated to my performance as an educator. As a result, I tend to prepare heavily for my one-on-one sessions to make sure they suit your needs perfectly. Math is a very humbling subject and as such it cannot be underestimated, no matter how good the instructor is.

Tutoring: I am currently on a Sabbatical which means meeting remotely via Zoom would be the best option. That said, I still obviously travel to UCLA a lot so if you want to meet in person the first time around to better establish the connection we can do that too. The choice is yours!

Subjects: As for math subjects, my areas of expertise include but they are not limited to: STATISTICS, CALCULUS, geometry, algebra, algorithms, machine learning, discrete math, finite math, algebraic geometry, differential geometry, group theory, linear algebra, Galois theory, real analysis, complex analysis, functional analysis, tensor theory, non-Euclidean geometries, topology, combinatorics, graph theory, design theory, set theory, logic, boolean algebra, first-order languages, number theory, differential equations, numerical analysis, physics math, complexity, computability, cryptography, probability theory, game theory, operations research and many others. I am also willing to help you with test prep for GRE, SAT, GMAT etc.

General Consulting and Math Inquiries: I can also offer help with pretty much any math-related question you may have at any level, provided that it is given in some sort of context.

-----------------------------------------------

Credentials:

- Bachelor's Degree in both pure and applied math, Master's Degree in Computer Science, 2nd Master's Degree in math from UCLA and a PhD in math also from UCLA.

- Sorgenfrey's teaching award from UCLA for exceptional teaching skills.

- Currently a math professor at UCLA.

-----------------------------------------------
Rates: My rates are typical for college math. Exact pricing would depend on the specifics of your project so do not hesitate to reach out and ask! Even if we do not end up working together I can always refer you to someone equally qualified. We are educators before anything else, so our number one goal is to help you the best way we can!

Contact Me: If you like what you read, feel free to call/text me to discuss more. If you call, please do not forget to leave a message as I am often busy working with other students.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and have a great day!
