About Ricardo

Ricardo Chavez

Senior Associate Professor of Mathematics at Bellevue College, WA

I have served as a full-time, tenured faculty at Bellevue College, WA, for over ten years. Malini has graciously invited me to offer my tutoring services and math-education expertise for students taking the Next Step in their math-educational pursuits—I specialize in teaching precollege and 100-level college mathematics. I began my teaching career as a part-time, math tutor while attending New Mexico State University in 2008. During these early years, many of the students I helped would tell me they wished I was their teacher; I received awards and recognition for my time as a tutor. I hold a B.S. and M.S. in Mathematics. Outside of teaching, I am a husband and father of two young children, an options trader, all around handy man, and outdoorsman.

Student and Parent Testimonials

Professor Ricardo Chavez is a respected, well-liked and valued member of the teaching community. Here are just a couple of opinions. More testimonials can be found at ratemyprofessors.com.

He really helped get me on the right track in math. Made me enjoy math again. Your only grades are your quizzes and tests, no homework. Not many resources other than textbook (Pearson, iykyk), but wonderful lectures. Take notes, you'll refer to them a lot. Very pleasant and passionate! Great at explaining, and no such thing as dumb questions.

Chavez is a fantastic teacher. There are lectures every day that you absolutely have to attend otherwise you'll miss something and fall behind, but he always makes time after class if you have questions or need to catch up. He recently changed his teaching style, and if you're trying to decide which prof to take, pick him, you won't regret it.

His way of teaching math is just the best. He explains things clearly with examples. and what he is teaching is what is going to be in a quiz or test. i would recommend him if you want a teacher who can explain things clearly where you can understand and not rush.
