Math Tutoring Service

The Problem Site's Douglas Twitchell offers math tutoring in high school math subjects, including Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and all Pre-Calculus topics.

Online Math Tutoring

The Problem Site's administrator is currently developing a new application to facilitate online math tutoring. This browser-based flash application allows both the student and the tutor to chat (using an interface very similar to Facebook's chat) as well as draw on a sketchpad, using basic pen options (freestyle drawing, eraser, line, circle and rectangle tools, and point labeling).

Soon there will be a demo of this application available for parents and students to try out. Doug highly recommends getting the Bamboo Fun Pen and Tablet by Wacom as a valuable accessory to get the most out of your online tutoring time. Click here to read more about the pen.

About The Math Tutor

Douglas Twitchell is a math and science teacher who lives in South Paris, Maine. Douglas has a B.A. in Mathematics from the University of Maine. He has been an award winning mathematics competitor both in high school and in college, and currently is a math competition problem writer and proofreader for various mathematics competitions.

Douglas is also the designer of the "Sketch & Chat" application, which is used for online math tutoring on this site.

During the summer months Douglas spends most of his time as a camp pastor at various camps around the state of Maine. This limits his availability for online tutoring, but if you are willing to have a flexible tutoring schedule, it may be possible. Don't hesitate to ask!

During his free time, Douglas loves hiking. He is pictured above sitting on top of Singepole Mountain in South Paris, Maine, on the Ides of March.

Equipment

If you are planning to get online math tutoring, you want to get the very most out of your teaching time, which means you don't want to be wasting time sketching with a mouse. For this reason, Doug strongly recommends getting the Bamboo Fun Pen and Tablet by Wacom.

This device functions like a mouse - except it's a pen! You'll be able to write on the sketchpad with the same relaxed comfort of a pen or pencil, instead of trying to draw diagrams and complex equations with a mouse!
