Offered:All levels of math and college prep -- middle/high school math, English and math for college exam prep, undergrad math courses, and (some) graduate math topics.
Available:Ongoing
Experience:I have over a decade of teaching, TAing, and tutoring experience, covering all ranges of students and topics of math or college prep. I enjoy working with students of all skill levels, and have experience with those working through learning disabilities and other significant challenges. I understand that many students not only struggle with math, but find it hard, unpleasant, and/or scary. I try to help make it make sense, as well as help students develop good study habits and learn to really understand the concepts as well as the calculations and problem solving.
Additional:I received my PhD in Math from UC Davis in 2020, and spent the following year teaching calculus and other courses. I am no longer teaching, but love helping students learn and understand mathematical concepts. If you are struggling, or just want to improve your understanding and scores, reach out to me (469-712-MATH) and let's work together!

Available:Ongoing
Experience:I am currently a UC Davis PhD student in Applied Mathematics, and have 10+ years of private tutoring experience (K-12 and college) and 4+ years of university-level tutoring center experience. Throughout all of my time as a private tutor, tutoring center tutor, and teaching assistant, I have learned that one-on-one tutoring is by far the most conducive to learning. In a group setting, it is easy to fall behind the crowd or convince oneself that they are comfortable with the material, but individualized learning is the key to ensuring that students leave no cracks of knowledge unfilled.

Experience:I have tutored, TA ed and instructed Calculus classes and upper division classes for 5 years. I have tutored high school Mathematics and Physics. My math philosophy is - Practice makes it Perfect and -if you don’t have the basics right, no worries takes a little time to learn them but need to learn them first before getting on to the real battle. Speaking from experience, quarter math is really fast and the difficulty of the topics grow exponentially. No time is bad to start but need to have the mentality that you’ll fight till the end. To get an A you need to start early otherwise it’s really difficult to get an A if you’re not on top of things throughout the quarter. Start early, don’t get frustrated take the help and get the A.
Additional:Prefer contact by email. Any level of math is okay.

Courses taken:MAT 21ABCD, 22AB, 67, 127ABC, 150ABC, 145, 147, 115A
Experience:I am a PhD candidate in the mathematics department, holding master's degrees math and physics and bachelor’s degrees in physics and music. Math is a frustrating experience when none of the material seems to fit together, so I want to help you find the forest through the trees. My philosophy is to approach your tutoring sessions by filling in background knowledge, identifying current misconceptions, and then creating a lesson style that resonates with how you learn. For many students, this means leading you on a path through which you can discover WHY the math you're doing makes sense, making you prepared to tackle problems like those we practice and even others that seem alien at first.
Additional:I tutor any college math or physics, and I also have a lot of experience tutoring middle and high school students. I've been tutoring math and physics courses at UC Davis for five years, and I've TAed many upper division math courses. My research is about geometry in higher dimensions! Discounts available for new students and upper division classes. Please email!
