About Me

I am Robert Eakin, the instructor and owner of Mobile Math Tutoring. I have been a self-employed math tutor since 2000. My interest in tutoring began in high school and went on to become a hobby that would continue through college and beyond.

I make the learning connection with students, remedy their difficulties, and make hard math fun and easy for them.

Education & Qualifications

I graduated from the University of the Pacific (Stockton, CA) in 1996 with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. A few years later I passed the California Basic Educational Skills Test (CBEST) and did some substitute teaching for the San Juan and Natomas Unified School Districts, as well as for various private schools.

My greatest qualification, however, may be my client Testimonials.

Client Dogs

Many client homes have family dogs, and I always look forward to visiting them. Retrievers and German shepherds are some of my favorites. Ask me about the times I caught a German shepherd running around in an open field. It actually happened twice.

Personal Tid-Bits

On Sundays I attend First Church of the Nazarene and operate the video equipment during songs, videos, and sermons. One of my favorite quotes is: "Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered" (C. S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory). Another favorite quote of mine is: "I'm not going to get married, I'm going to be a superhero!" My nephew uttered this after we watched an ancient episode of Superfriends.
