Are you struggling to keep up with a challenging course, or feel like you need some guidance to succeed? Well, I'm here to help!

As an experienced teacher and tutor with an M.Ed. in Advanced Teaching, B.Sc. in both Math and Computer Science, and minor in Engineering Physics, I've been helping high school, college, and adult students in math, physics, engineering, and closely-related subjects for nearly a decade. I've had the pleasure of working with a diverse range of students, including those with autism, bipolar disorder, ELL backgrounds, and more. Building a unique relationship with each student is something I enjoy, as it allows us to share in the teaching and learning process together. Additionally, I've assisted ambitious and hard-working students to get into schools such as MIT, Northwestern, and the Naval Nuclear Power School.

My education philosophy centers around creating safe, positive, diverse, and inclusive learning environments that prioritize student-centered, differentiated, and sustainable education while aligning to standards. I believe in teaching in a flexible manner that's tailored to each student's individual needs, allowing them to achieve their full potential.

When I'm not teaching, you can find me indulging in a few of my hobbies, which include sipping tea, hiking, and electronic music DJing. So if you're ready to conquer that challenging course and have some fun along the way, let's work together towards your success!

Differential Equations,

Differential Equations

I have been teaching and tutoring Differential Equations for several years and have experience with many versions of the course, whether aimed at engineers, scientists, or mathematicians. Differential Equations is the study of how a function relates to its derivatives; and the solution to a differential equation is a set of functions, rather than the value of one or more variables. It comes in two major forms: Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs), which deal with single variable functions and their derivatives, and Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), which deal with multivariable functions and their derivatives. We learn how to solve a wide range of general DEs (such as first-order, second-order, linear, non-linear, homogeneous and non-homogeneous) and special DEs (such as Bernoulli, Laplace, Euler–Lagrange and Sturm-Liouville) using several methods (such as separation of variables, undetermined coefficients, Euler’s, variation of parameters and Laplace transformations). For sciences and engineering applications we have special functions (such the Fourier series and transform, Hermite polynomials, associated Legendre polynomials, spherical harmonics, and Bessel functions). An understanding of differential equations is essential to modern engineering, the sciences, and mathematics. One of my personal interests is the relationship between systems of differential equations, linear algebra (matrix representations), and complex numbers.
Discrete Math,

Discrete Math

I have experience tutoring several varieties of Discrete Mathematics, including proof, graph theory and combinatorics based versions. Discrete Math is often called 'real world' math, because objects in nature are broken into discrete packets, whether this is energy, material goods or electrical signals.
Finite Math,

Finite Math

I have several years experience with the Finite Mathematics curriculum as it applies to business, the social sciences, and liberal arts. These include the prerequisite of precalculus, linear functions and regression, finance mathematics, systems of equations and matrix algebra, linear programming, set theory, permutations and combinations, probability (such as Bayes' theorem and Markov systems), random variables and statistics, and mathematical models.

Excellent Tutor

After having completed my bachelor's degree ten years ago, I recently returned to school to change my career course. In order to apply to my desired graduate school programs, I needed to successfully complete college physics. I attempted the course last semester, only to drop it after failing the second test. This semester, I tried again with Logan's assistance. It should be known that I had not taken college algebra in over 10 years, nor did I have a strong background in math. I knew that I needed help, and Logan was a great fit for me. Logan and I usually met twice a week. Logan was professional, compassionate, and truly dedicated to meeting my efforts in the course. He was strategic, prepared, and incredibly patient. Perhaps what I found most impressive about Logan was his true desire to find the best way to explain material in a way that I could understand. In addition, Logan tutors full time. This isn't a side job - it's something he is fully committed to. He sincerely honors and values education, which I greatly respect. I am happy to report that with Logan's help, I was able to not only pass physics, but I completed the course with an A! There is no question that this was due to the kind assistance Logan provided to me during the course. I highly recommend Logan as a tutor.

Kaitlin, 20 lessons with Logan

Very nice and knew what he was doing.

We were able to go through 4 chapters of engineering physics in 2 days. I had some background info, but he was able to answer all my remaining questions. Thank you!

A patient and funny teacher

Logan has been an amazing teacher. I suffer from Dyscalculia which has impacted my life terribly, kept me at low level jobs that don't involve math. I wish I had a teacher like Logan when I was in school.

Yulanda, 20 lessons with Logan

THE best tutor of all time!!!!

Logan has been teaching me and my sister for over two years now. I have learned ALL my material from him. In my college courses, I do not even go to the lecture, because he is able to teach me new material so so so much easier and faster than the professors. He is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and very funny! I always look forward to our lessons every week and am incredibly proud to be one of his students. If you want an amazing tutor completely committed to learning at your own pace and style while also having a mentor who supports you and can give life advice logan is your guy! Thanks for everything Logan!

Knowledgeable & helpful Tutor

Logan helped me with modern physics concepts. He was very patient and helpful. I really enjoyed his sessions because he helped me to understand and also covered some topics my professor didn't cover in class but we needed to know. I really recommend Logan as a Tutor for modern physics classes. He helped me a lot.

Luz Z, 21 lessons with Logan

Very knowledgeable within the different areas of Discreet Mathematics

Although this is an on-line tutoring session between my tutor Logan D. and I, Logan is detailed in information explained. I upload documents of the areas in question in advance for Logan to review. Logan comes very prepared to our online sessions and we 'hit the ground running' without wasting time. This is very much appreciated. The White Board on here is a huge plus! I can hear Logan verbally explain the problems being worked on as well as see how he arrives at the end result with the use of this white board. The visuals are a huge help. Logan is patient as well as wiling to explain in detail and in more than one way to help me understand this unique type of Mathematics. Brian M.
