Meticulous, thorough, and concise. Orland is a flexible and active Mathematics tutor that will adapt to anyone's... struggles and strife while helping to lift the limits binding them. He is an active communicator and coordinates incredibly well with clients to guarantee the best possible tutoring. He is enthusiastic, never afraid to tackle an equation, no matter how many numbers. Moreover, as a student who's subpar at Math and currently learning from him, I can speak from experience that his way of tutoring is straight to the point and adjustable for those who need a step-by-step, interactive learning process. From communication, charisma, and last but not least, the quality of his teaching, I recommend Orland as he is a tutor that fulfills and surpasses all the standards of a tutor.read more

I think Orland the math tutor is the best math tutor in the Antelope Valley. When I went to him, my grade was an F, I... was failing miserably. I explained to him, that I wasn't very good in math, and he assured me, that he could help. After working with Orland, my grade has gone up from an F to a B. I'm looking forward to finishing the class with an A. Thank you Orland for all your help.read more

This guy is the real deal! I had been trying to pass my CSET for my credential for MONTHS and just couldn’t. After some... sessions with Orland I was finally able to pass the math and science section I needed! That pass was the best feeling, ever! We loved Orland so much that we still use him for our son who is in 8th grade and struggles with math from time to time. I am so grateful for Orland’s help! I would recommend him to anyone.read more

Yelp comment on:When I first started to be tutored by Mr. Orland Farnias, I’ll admit I was initially intimidated by... his plethora of knowledge regarding all things mathematics. However, just on the first day, I realized that he’s just a normal person like you and me. Because of his passion for teaching and genuine love for math, you will experience that not only does he want to teach you math, but he also wants to help you learn how to love it, too. He not only shares his knowledge but he also makes sure you understand the concept(s) you are struggling with and will match the pace you need in order to overcome your difficulty. I am thankful I found Mr. Farnias. I endorse him for all your math-related challenges no matter your age or grade. Remember, you want to have a good foundation in your academic life. Do not hesitate to seek help from Orland Math Whiz. I assure you, you will not regret it.read more

I would like to thank Orland for all his help. He was very respectful, professional, smart and he has so much patience.... My daughter was struggling so much with her math class and could never get higher than a C on any work, test or quiz she completed. When I found him online I decided to try it out. He helped her get her first A. She was so happy. I would recommend Orland to any of my friends or my daughter's friends. He helped her during quarantine via zoom. He has been a great help and I will for sure continue to use his services for the coming school year. Thank you Orland. Hope you and your family are doing well.read more

Orland has been an outstanding tutor for my daughter. I reached out to Orland when my daughter had an exam for an... upcoming college prep summer program.

This certainly helped my daughter gain the confidence needed to do well on her exam.read more

Orlando is an excellent math tutor. He is currently working with my grandson who has high functioning autism. He is in... his first year of high school and was really anxious about failing math. I looked up several local tutoring services and decided to go with Orlando. We are all happy I did. With Orlando’s help my grandson is not only NOT failing his algebra class, he is getting A’s and B’s on his assignments and tests. Where he used to dread math he now looks forward to seeing Orlando and receiving his help. I am truly grateful. I would recommend him to anyone, young or old that needs help with mathread more

Struggling with Math?
Let me help!

Hi! My name is Orland Farinas. I am a professional tutor and mentor for over 17 years. Please allow me to tell you a bit about myself.

I value my family and education. I was a student-athlete at Delano High School (DHS), voted Most Likely to Succeed. In 1982, I graduated from DHS with honors with a 3.91 GPA, and I earned a partial scholarship at UCLA.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from UCLA in 1987. I currently work for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as NAS Plan & Programs Manager, Electrical Engineer. I have been working for the federal government for over 33 years, with vast engineering and management experience. In 1997, I graduated from the Executive Potential Program, a 2-year government Masters program in management. I am a 1999 Dale Carnegie Leadership graduate. For my dedicated community service, I received the Los Angeles Skyline Lions Club 2020 Citizen of the Year Award.

In addition to being a freelance tutor for over 17 years, I tutored at various other places. While I attended UCLA, I tutored Pre-calculus, Calculus, and Linear Algebra for three years. In addition, I volunteered to tutor Single-variable Calculus and Multi-variable Calculus, as well as Statistics at the Antelope Valley College (AVC) for a year and a half. Throughout my career, I helped many FAA technicians pass their math and basic electronics courses.

Furthermore, as part of the “No Student Left Behind” program, I worked part-time for a non-profit organization, tutoring elementary and high school students in Arithmetic, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, Geometry, Pre-calculus, Calculus, Language Arts, and CAHSEE preparation. Helping under-privileged students accomplish their academic goals is heart-warming and rewarding. I’ve always enjoyed math, and I found my passion to teach through these various experiences.

I come from a clan of professionals: engineers, businessmen, chefs, managers, nurses, dentists, optometrist, and physical therapists. Growing up in a small town in the San Joaquin Valley taught us hard work, perseverance, and determination …. and these are exactly the values I try to instill in my own child and the students I tutor.
