About Ben Pecover

I have an excellent (British) academic background and have been tutoring for eleven years, focusing exclusively on math for the last eight.

After beginning work here this January I have helped middle and high school pupils as well as many Santa Rosa Junior College students. I cover basic math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Algebra 1 and 2, Pre-Calculus, Statistics and ACT tests. At the JC I cover Math 150A, 150B, 155, Intermediate Algebra and have helped a couple of pupils with Stats (15) - the second of which was getting Ds in his tests before he contacted me but after a few weeks' tutoring got a C overall and passed. I can also help with basic calculus (Math 1A).

In the UK, I helped over two hundred people achieve what they wanted, from high-school qualifications (GCSEs, British SATs) to help with fun elementary-level math and number skills or simply helping adults improve their mental arithmetic. I've also worked a lot with people needing to pass high school-equivalence tests to qualify for teacher-training courses.

I am very familiar with the GMAT test, having helped a couple of people prepare for this exam so they could go on to study an MBA.

I'm aware that people need to enjoy something to focus on learning and I always try to make the lessons fun as well as thorough.

I firmly believe that everyone can get a lot better at math with just effort and guidance. You do not have to "be a math person" to do well. As much as I can I will explain the reasons behind the formulas, the rules, the jargon. Almost all my pupils State-side so far have said that I explain things in ways that make more sense than what they've heard at school/college or what they've read in their books. This is because I always have one eye on WHY the math happens the way it does. If you understand the simple principles behind math then, a lot of the time, the procedures and answers are obvious!

Math is much easier than you think it is.
