"I am a published research mathematician who loves to tutor math in my spare time! I have been tutoring math for most of my educational career, starting with my friends in high school and college, and then eventually transitioning to paid tutoring in my spare time as a math major during undergrad. After completing the comprehensive requirements as part of the PhD program at UIUC, I began tutoring students in more advanced, graduate level subjects, such as real and complex analysis, partial differential equations, linear/abstract algebra, and probability. As a graduate student, I have experience teaching all levels of calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations. If my teaching evaluations are anything to go by, my students have found me to be an excellent and inspiring instructor. That's something that I take great pride in.
I love math for its own sake, and I take special joy in helping others understand it. If you are struggling in your math course and feel lost, as long as you are willing to put in the work, It's never too late. I have brought many students back from the brink of failure with focused lessons. And as someone who has both taught and taken classes remotely, I know firsthand the struggles that come with remote instruction. Still, my tutoring is online-only. I can tell you from extensive experience that it works exceptionally well for focused, one-on-one math tutoring. I have a good camera/microphone setup, as well as a Wacom writing tablet. Not only can I draw figures and equations by hand on the online whiteboard, I can screen share plots and solutions generated by powerful software such as Mathematica.
Please reach out if you need help in your math course, no matter what level you are at. I have many hours of experience working individually with students to help them grasp challenging topics, from business students struggling with the definition of the derivative, to math graduate students that can't quite grok the concept of a weak derivative among distributions." less...
