Bio

I completed my undergraduate studies at Stockton University and earned two degrees: B.S. Applied Physics and B.S. Mathematics with a minor in computer science. I graduated with a final GPA of 3.85/4.0 (Magna Cum Laude). I am currently enrolled in the PhD. Physics program at the University of Central Florida (UCF).

I completed my undergraduate studies at Stockton University and earned two degrees: B.S. Applied Physics and B.S. Mathematics with a minor in computer science. I graduated with a final GPA of 3.85/4.0 (Magna Cum Laude). I am currently enrolled in the PhD. Physics program at the University of Central Florida (UCF).

I work as a Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) at UCF where I work with undergraduate students regularly to assist them on assignments. While completing my undergraduate studies I tutored through Wyzant as well as on my college campus in the Tutoring Center. I had many regulars that would come back because I was able to help them and my methods helped them understand topics they previously had trouble with. I am very flexible with my tutoring methods, and I often end up adapting my methods to each student. I think one of the best things I do best is my use of analogies to relate the topics to things the students have experience with and my ability to create examples.

My high school standardized test scores are as follows:
AP Calc BC: 5 (studied Calc AB and BC in my senior year)
AP Macroeconomics: 5
AP US History: 5
AP Lit. and Comp: 4
AP Chem: 3
SAT: 1490 (Overall), 780/800 (Math), 710/800 (English)
SAT Math II subject test: 770/800
SAT Chem subject test: 710/800

If you have any questions about me or what my schedule is like, feel free to contact me so I can answer those questions to give you a better idea of who I am and so we can work out meeting times ( my schedule may be different from my posted times as my work and school schedule change frequently). I look forward to speaking with you and potentially helping you learn!!!

Approved Subjects

Computer

Computer Science,

Computer Science

I have a minor in computer science and have completed many self-motivated projects in java and python. For my work in graduate school, I often run numerical simulations that require general programming knowledge in order to use the specific language needed for the task. I work perform calculations on clusters which requires linux knowledge, and I am in the process of learning C and FORTRAN.
Java,

Java

I have taken two semesters of Java in college where I was at the top of my class with grades of over 100% in both semesters because of extra work I did or special optimization of my algorithms that my classmates could not achieve. I have programmed some animations in my spare time through base java (no special IDEs like Processing). I also have code that I would like to submit to Oracle which will allow programmers to receive a random enumeration (much like Random.nextInt() or Random.nextDouble()).
Python

Python

I mainly picked up python as a hobby, but I have completed a research physics internship where I used python for the entirety of the research. I also direct undergraduate labs that use python to analyze experimental data.

Elementary Education

Elementary Math

Elementary Math

Throughout the years I have helped younger kids with their math homework while explaining why they should know what they were learning. Sometimes showing what the math can become is a good way to spark real interest in the subject among young people.

Homeschool

Algebra 1,

Algebra 1

I first started Algebra on my own in 4th grade when I picked up an old recycled textbook. Algebra is also a topic that is widely used in my other areas of experience including advanced mathematics, physics, and java programming.
Algebra 2,

Algebra 2

I use Algebra in all math in my physics classes or math classes. The math is more advanced, but Algebra is the core of all Mathematics. I also got two questions wrong on the math section of the SAT (780/800) which is mainly Algebra.
Calculus,

Calculus

I learned Calc 1 and Calc 2 entirely through Khan Academy in my senior year of high school, and I took the AP Calculus BC Test at the end of my senior year and achieved a score of a 5. This allowed me to take Calc III in the first semester of my freshman year of college and achieve a grade of an A.
Physics,

Physics

I completed a B.S. Applied Physics degree and am now enrolled in the PhD. Physics program at University of Central Florida.
Prealgebra,

Prealgebra

This is a fundamental building block for math classes that follow it. I use prealgebra to this day as a PhD. Physics student.
Precalculus,

Precalculus

Precalculus lays the building ground for Calculus through more advanced algebra which I am proficient in. I am also proficient in Calculus which allows me to explain things in more depth (maybe introducing what each topic in Precalculus is leading up to).
SAT Math,

SAT Math

I got two questions wrong on my SAT Math section (780/800) and can finish the math section with minutes to spare which allows time for going back and checking answers. There are subtle tricks that can be used on the math section if you know what the question is trying to ask from a conceptual perspective (i.e. what skill are they testing). My overall SAT score was 1490.

Discrete Math,

Discrete Math

I took Foundations of Mathematics which I got an A in. This is a proof class much like Discrete Math with many of the same topics covered (sometimes in more detail). We covered proofs, set theory, some number theory, and I have studied intro to Finite State Machines on my own, as well as The Pigeon Hole Principle. Since I have an extreme interest in programming, I can explain to students how Languages introduced when explaining Finite State Machines is extremely similar to the idea of Regex in coding. I earned two degrees: B.S. Applied Physics and B.S. Mathematics with a minor in computer science.
Logic,

Logic

I have a B.S. in Mathematics, a B.S. in Physics, as well as a minor in Computer Science. I deal with parsing logical statements during most of my day and in almost every textbook I have to read.

great

Jayden helped me understand some confusing topics in a very simple way. I like his flexibility and understanding and look forward to schedule another lesson.

Saved my butt!

I had a very difficult assignment with a rather unsavory professor that I never would have been able to finish alone, but Jayden was both helpful and thoughful in his approach to working with me through the assignment. He knew his stuff and was able to work me into his schedule even if he was busy and even last minute.

excellent

We worked on a computer programming lab. He was very patient, helpful and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend to chose him as a tutor!

Excellent tutor

Jayden is fantastic tutor. I Did not know anything about API’S, however Jayden made sure he explained what an API Is and why they are used. He had a lot of patience with me. I would highly recommend him.
