Tutoring Services
Mental Mountains offers a wide range of math tutoring services, spanning from high school to college mathematics and test preparation.
High School Mathematics
Students explore algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus, and statistics, deepening their understanding of mathematical relationships and logical reasoning. This stage focuses on applying concepts to complex problems and preparing for higher education or career paths.
College Mathematics
College math challenges students with advanced concepts that support specialized fields of study. From college algebra and statistics to calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations, students gain the tools to model, analyze, and solve sophisticated problems.
Test Preparation
(Math Specific)
Whether preparing for the SAT, ACT, GRE, AP exams, or state assessments, students review core concepts, strengthen problem-solving speed, and learn test-taking techniques. The goal is to boost both confidence and scores through targeted, efficient study.
About
My name is Sam McCrosson
Raised near the Rockies in Lafayette, CO, I’ve always loved getting outdoors and enjoying the mountains. Whether it’s hiking and backpacking in the summer or snowshoeing and skiing in the winter, I try to get out into nature as often as possible. When I’m on the mountain, I'm often struck by the parallels with doing abstract math: by putting in lots of time and effort moving in a particular direction, a person can ascend to radical heights and witness true natural beauty through contoured landscapes!
Ever since finding out math could be fun at age 16 (thanks, Numberphile), I’ve had a passion for learning about and teaching mathematics. This passion led me to obtain bachelor’s and master’s degrees in math, which I’ve used to teach at Johns Hopkins CTY and the University of St Thomas in addition to offering private lessons and tutoring. A lifelong learner, I currently study aspects of renormalization in effective quantum field theory and applications of micro-local sheaf theory to the Exodromy theorem in algebraic topology.
