Greetings!
My name is Gesse Rosa.
I provide comprehensive private classes in Mathematics and Chemistry, which are fully adaptive and perfected as supplemental instruction for public/private schooled students as well as complete courses for homeschool students.
My classes are suitable for grades 6-12, and cover math subjects from Pre-Algebra through Calculus. My structured teaching methodology is designed to meet students at their current level of understanding, enabling them to not only bridge any gaps in their education but also to develop the proficiency required to excel in the ACT and SAT tests. Furthermore, students are well-prepared to challenge and successfully test out of numerous first-year college courses.
Why I Teach
I have a deep passion for education and teaching; if it were possible, I would gladly do it without charge. My greatest reward is witnessing the transformation of a student from saying, "I don't know math" or "I'm not good at math," to confidently declaring, "I love math."
My Way
-
I customize and personalize instruction to meet each student's unique needs. Rather than adhering to a traditional academic calendar, I focus on allowing students to progress at a pace that matches their readiness and willingness to learn, ensuring genuine understanding and lasting achievement.
​
-
I prioritize consistent and open communication with parents about their childrens' progress, and make myself available daily to discuss their progress and how to support them the most.
​​
-
I significantly reduce the time required to master the subject compared to traditional educational institutions.
​
-
Not only do students learn at a much faster pace, but they also engage with the subject at a far deeper and more complex level than is typically possible through traditional methods. With my approach, students develop true understanding rather than relying on rote memorization, allowing them to retain and apply their knowledge well into college and beyond.
​
-
Every dedicated and engaged student who works with me completes their studies fully prepared for the science and math sections of the ACT and SAT, reaching at least a first-year college level. This level of achievement is often attained during the early teenage years.

"My students love Gesse, he is engaging and fun."

"My kids hated math. It was something I struggled with in homeschooling and now they love it and they are doing so well."

"My top three reasons for wanting to take Gesse's classes next year:
1. He is fun! He is funny! His classes are fun! I'm not completely opposed to admitting that sometimes math can be fun.
​
2. He makes math make sense. It was awesome to realize that I can understand math. I always hated math before, but now I think I might be good at it.
​
3. It is awesome to learn math with
friends. Gesse answers our questions until we all understand. Sometimes I didn't even know I had a question until someone else asked it. It also really helps me to have a consistent time each week for math with an encouraging teacher.
​
Gesse's classes have been a really good thing for me. I have gained a lot of confidence. I'm happy I get to have him as my teacher again!"
