I have 20+ years of tutoring/teaching experience.

I'm usually very goofy and clumsy. Students are never afraid of asking me questions.
I know how to teach to students who love math and how to make it simple for students who hate math.

I have a masters degree from UCLA. Among the core requirements on the master's exam is linear algebra. My area of specialization was actually abstract algebra, and I wrote a survey on Coxeter groups for my honors thesis, which is a topic at the intersection of linear algebra, representation of groups, and classical geometry.

Knowledgeable and patient

Cau is very patient to teach the concepts of computer science. He makes it fun for the high school students. Learning from Cau students actually look forward for the class. I highly recommend Cau for teaching Computer Science IB for high school students.

Anu, 1 lesson with Cau Duong

The best math teacher!

He helped my understand all the concepts i didn't understand in class, he made linear algebra so much easier to understand that i was able to ace my exam, which will also help me make it through my finals, I am a bit confident that my grade will be pushed from the B rang to A+. Such a great teacher, and very patient that he would keep repeating until you understand the concept.

Great Chess Lesson

My son had his first Chess class with Cau today. He has excellent teaching style, patient and passionate. Highly recommend!

Cau is AWESOME

Cau worked with my daughter on multiple programming techniques. He was very patient and knowledgable and provided insight and tips on stradigies to make her programs more efficient. He was very dedicated to his work, and was able to work with my daughter even when he was in France visiting. I was very happy that I found such a great tutor and I keep telling my daughter to take more programming classes. Big thank you to Cau for all his help!

Immanuel, 1 lesson with Cau Duong

This is what I am looking for!

It is my first time to work with him. He helped me in my project but he also teach me something advanced in my coding. This is what I need for my 200 and 300 level classes.
