(Inactive) Tutoring

My tutoring business is not currently active, and I do not have any plans to resume tutoring in the immediate future. I am not currently accepting any new clients. I'm leaving the page below for reference only. I will someday update this page appropriately if I am certain to never be looking for tutoring clients again.

Since my sophomore year of college, I have been running my own private math tutoring business. At present, I have over a thousand hours of tutoring experience, covering subjects ranging all the way from middle school level prealgebra to graduate level analysis. I consider myself to be an expert in any high school or lower-level undergraduate math, and I feel comfortable tutoring many more advanced undergraduate and graduate-level subjects.

For more detail about my experience (and to see testimony from former clients), you can check out my online tutoring profile at www.wyzant.com/tutors/Aaron_B (the link is inactive now due to the current inactivity of my business). Please, however, do not contact me through Wyzant; it is better to get in touch with me outside of their system so that I don't lose commission to them.

My base rate for most lower-level subjects is $60 per hour, but that goes up for higher-level courses (above introductory calculus). I am willing to meet online or in-person if the meeting location is sufficiently close by to me (if you are a student from UT Austin, meeting on campus will be fine for me).

Please read this disclaimer: due to high demand, I may not be able to meet with every student that reaches out to me. Often, whether or not I accept a tutoring gig depends on the specific circumstances, since I am usually very busy with my own studies and other responsibilities. For example, frequency and convenience of the meetings, the subject matter at hand, and my current workload are all factors in whether or not I will be willing to work with a student. But with that said, I welcome any and all requests, and will try to be as accommodating as possible.

Also important: if you're interested in reaching out to me about tutoring, please do so via transcendent.math.tutoring [at] gmail [dot] com (instead of my UT Austin email) because that's the one I use for my private tutoring business.

Here are some testimonials and reviews my former clients have left me on Wyzant. Overall lesson ratings: 404 ratings (399 five star ratings, 5 four star ratings, none lower).

• Knowledgeable and Patient — "Aaron tutored my son Discrete Mathematics a college course. He was able to simplify the materials for my son to get an A in this course. I have tried other math tutors on Wyzant and Aaron is so far the Best. Try a lesson with Aaron and you will have no regrets."
  — Michael, 25 lessons with Aaron
• Very awesome tutor! — "I had Aaron B. for elementary analysis. Elementary analysis is a very abstract high level math course. He made the abstract math concepts easier to understand by drawing out graphs. He is very well spoken and breaks down hard concepts very well. He explains things at a perfect rate, and makes learning fun! I would highly recommend him as a tutor!"
  — Barbara, 51 lessons with Aaron
