Meet Ares Shackleford: SAT, ACT, & STEM Tutor.
I have a background in Computer Science and Mathematics and I am currently studying for graduate school in Electrical Engineering. I have multiple years of tutoring experience and have also worked professionally as a software engineer. I’ve always been passionate about learning and problem-solving, and I enjoy helping others experience the same “aha” moments I love in math and science. Working with students allows me to share my enthusiasm for these subjects, build confidence, and show them that challenging concepts can be approachable and even fun.
My tutoring style is interactive, patient, and tailored to each student’s needs. I focus on breaking down complex problems into manageable steps, giving students the tools to solve them independently while building confidence along the way. I aim to create a supportive and engaging environment, where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring ideas. My goal is not just to help them succeed on exams, but to foster a deeper understanding and long-term problem-solving skills that they can carry forward.
