Math finally
makes sense — for real

One-on-one tutoring from GED fundamentals through calculus and differential equations. Every student is different. I teach the way your brain works, not the way a textbook assumes it does.

7 yrs Teaching experience
State avg GED pass rate
All Learning styles welcome

From arithmetic
to advanced math

Whether you're preparing for the GED, struggling through algebra, or working toward calculus — I've got you. No subject is too basic or too advanced.

📐
GED / HiSET Prep
Math, reasoning, and English. Built the curriculum. Know exactly what the test is looking for.
🔢
Algebra & Geometry
Middle school through pre-calc. Building real understanding, not just memorized steps.
Calculus I & II
Limits, derivatives, integrals. I learned this without a professor — I can explain it without jargon.
📊
Statistics
Descriptive stats, probability, inference. Makes more sense with real examples.
📝
SAT / ACT Math
Test strategy plus math. Knowing the test is half the battle.
🧮
Advanced Topics
Differential equations, linear algebra, discrete math — reach out, I'll let you know honestly.

Teaching that actually sticks

Tutoring doesn't work when it's just watching someone do problems. I teach you to think through them — so you can do it when I'm not there.

01
Diagnose before prescribing

First session is about understanding exactly where you are and what's getting in the way — not starting from page one of the textbook.

02
Meet you where you are

I've taught students at 3rd-grade math level and advanced undergrads. The approach changes. The patience doesn't.

03
Learn disabilities welcome

ADHD, dyslexia, processing differences — I've worked with all of it. Different isn't broken, it just needs a different key.

04
Proof over authority

I don't tell you to trust me. I show you the math works — and why it works — until you can trust yourself.

"He doesn't just hand you the answer. He makes you think until you get there yourself — then you actually remember it."

An unconventional
background in math

Gregory Lacefield

I'm Gregory Lacefield, a math tutor based in Las Vegas. I learned everything I know — calculus through abstract algebra, statistics through differential equations — entirely on my own, from textbooks, with a pencil and paper. No professor. No university classroom. No graphing calculator.

That experience shaped how I teach. I know what it feels like to be completely stuck, to not have anyone to ask, and to finally crack something after grinding through it alone. I also know how to explain a concept fifteen different ways until one of them clicks.

I taught GED math for seven years. During a period when statewide GED pass rates dropped sharply after a major curriculum change, my students' pass rate was more than double the state average. I've worked with students reading at a third-grade level and students weeks away from college entrance exams. The approach changes. The results don't.

If your student has been removed from other programs, has a learning disability, or has been told they're "not a math person" — those are the cases I find most interesting.
