Hi, I’m Darryl Cifarelli… “Your Un-Common” Common Core Math Tutor.
I’m the founder and principal tutor of Algebra, Geometry & Basic Math Tutoring. My goal is to eliminate confusion, with individual, one-on-one instruction at your home. I have 22 years of math tutoring experience in the North County San Diego area, including Carlsbad, Encinitas, La Costa, Leucadia, Oceanside, Rancho Santa Fe, San Elijo, San Marcos, and Solana Beach. I specialize in Common Core math tutoring, including Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Integrated Math 1 & 2, and Geometry.
Algebra and Geometry are two areas where even kids who are strong students can hit a wall. Fear of failure can cause them to shut down and lose their motivation to try. This can be tough on parents, too, because even if you consider yourself a “numbers person,” the Common Core’s “new math” can be a challenge—it’s quite different from how we were taught in school. I have the experience and empathy to help struggling students, and know how to be effective in helping them learn, grow, and succeed!
Please feel free to refer to my reviews in Yelp for “Algebra Geometry and Basic Math tutoring.”

Look no more, you’ve found your tutor!!! I don’t usually take the time to write reviews but I have to for Darryl as he really helped my daughter with Geometry and she achieved an A on her Geometry final and for her Geometry class. He’s has always been so professional and flexible when we’ve needed him. My daughter truly understood all the concepts of Geometry thanks to Darryl! Can’t wait to work with him again this year! Thank you Darryl!

Darryl is a fantastic tutor. He has been extremely helpful to my daughter who took Geometry this year as a 7th grader. Darryl clearly had mastery of the material and could teach it in a clear and methodical way. He was always patient and encouraging of my daughter. My daughter gained confidence and her grades improved. I would strongly recommend Darryl without hesitation. He has a calm and friendly demeanor and is a pleasure to work with.

After our son’s first session with Darryl, I asked him how it went. He replied “Great, and I had fun.” Ever since then whenever he feels like he’s getting bogged down or needs some extra test prep, he sends me a text saying, “I need Darryl tonight”. Darryl is an extremely effective tutor who knows how to keep the student interested. He has helped our son with Algebra and Geometry as well. He will remain our go to for any math tutoring needs.

Such an amazing tutor helped me pass my math class and was great at explaining the work, I would 100% recommend him if you want to pass a math class with flying colors. He also has a great personality and it makes learning with him fun.

My daughter (High School Sophmore) challenged herself this year by signing up for Honors Geometry. We enlisted the help of Daryl to tutor her through the course. Best decision we could have made. Daryl’s knowledge of the subject matter, patience, flexibility and teaching ability all combined to give my daughter the confidence to tackle her most difficult subject and achieve a high grade. I recommend Daryl for any kids out there looking for some incremental support in higher level math. We will continue to use him for the rest of high school math and feel very fortunate to have found him.

Darryl has been working with my son for two years now, helping him with both Algebra and Geometry. My son has math phobia and Darryl has really assisted him in learning how to work through problems and to gain confidence in math. During the pandemic, my son found himself looking forward to his weekly tutoring sessions with Darryl. He is truly one of the best tutors out there — patient, kind, understanding and supportive. We were very lucky to find him through Nextdoor!
