Private Tutoring

On occassion, I offer private tutoring to college and university students in various mathematics and statisics courses. I have included common course descriptions below to aid in your selection. Course numbers are included for common lower-division courses. Not all courses are taught uniformly, but the descriptions are a good indicator of the common topics shown in such a course. If a course is not listed, please send a message with a detailed description of the course and I can do my best to assist. My email address can be found on the right sidebar.

Please, no finance, accounting, and economics courses. Those courses are not strictly mathematics. Please, no requests for high school students.

“Sean [is] the best tutor I have ever had! He took me from a failing grade in statistics to a low A! He even provided amazing resources to get me started in calculus! As someone who has a weakness in applying math, Sean's explanations made the most sense. I highly recommend him! Such quality and at an affordable price."

"Throughout my college career, I have struggled with math so much that I failed Calculus 3 twice and had to drop Differential Equations. I started falling behind and struggled until I began tutoring with Mr. Roberson. He helped me learn and understand these fundamental concepts and provided new insights into these courses. Together he helped me get back on track, and I was able to pass all my math-related courses (Calculus 3, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations) because of his tutoring. Mr. Roberson was easy to reach, patient, and very flexible when it came to scheduling. ... Overall Mr. Roberson is one of the best tutors out there and I wouldn't be where I am today without him, 10 out of 10."

Topics include first-order differential equations, higher-order differential equations, systems of differential equations, and Laplace transforms. (Some first courses include power series solutions.)

Discrete Mathematics (TCCN: MATH 2305, UTSA: MAT 3003/CS 2233, TAMUSA: MATH 3370, TAMU: MATH 302) - A study of the fundamental concepts of discrete mathematics. Topics include logic, set theory, functions, relations, combinatorics, and graph theory. Specific topics may vary by university and department.

Foundations of Mathematics/Introduction to Mathematical Proof - A study of the fundamental concepts of mathematical proof. Topics include logic, set theory, functions, relations, and proof techniques. Specific topics may vary by university and department.

Foundations of Analysis (and Topology) - A first course in analysis, studying the structure of of the real numbers. Topics include sequences, limits, differentiable functions, and integrable functions. Point-set topology is given in the context in the real line.

Modern/Abstract Algebra - A course in the study of groups, rings, and fields. Specific topics include the group of integers, permutations, group and ring homomorphisms, and the Sylow theorems. Usually given in a two course sequence depending on the program.

Statistics A general first course in statistics for both majors and non-majors. Topics include descriptive statistics, probability distributions, and hypothesis testing. Students in STEM programs should take a course with a calculus prerequisite. Social science students do not need calculus.
