Fun Facts
I used to sing semi-professionally. I also have a red belt in Tae Kwon Do. I also like knitting and reading but currently do not have too much time for crafts unfortunately
About Me
I am a scientist and an academic. I enjoy tutoring mathematics for two reasons because I always like mathematics and because I prefer working with people one to one as I have more flexibility on the teaching style
Experience
I have taught science classes at the University level from basic Calculus and Intro to statistics to geology and dinosaurs. I have extensive experience with Algebra and Calculus and usually tutor students between middle school and college levels. Lately I have been teaching geography and GIS at college level
Approach
My approach is probably a Socratic approach where I try to have the student think about the problem before working on it. I do not believe in miracles but do believe in perfection reached by practice. I like to increase confidence in my students maybe using a little encouragement give general advice in order to help the student’s success. Solving problems is something many people can do but experience equips you with a lot more tools. In the process I hope people hate math less

College Algebra Tutoring
Same as Business Calculus and Calculus. Algebra comes before Calculus and is easier. It is a building block for calculus

Greek Tutoring
I am native speaker and have tutored kids in the past of Greek descent
Math Tutoring
My background is in mathematics which I have used in all my degrees. I am very comfortable with many branches of math especially the college level
Pre Calculus Tutoring
Same reasons as to other calculus classes apply
Trigonometry Tutoring
I have tutored trigonometry to many students
Algebra Tutoring
Algebra in high school is not dramatically different from college. The only difference is they practice more to build strength in the subject and need to show all work
Algebra II Tutoring
Same as Algebra applies. I frequently tutor high school students in Algebra
Calculus Tutoring
Calculus content is not that different from college except that students see the material for the first time and do things in more detail and probably more repetition. Calculus is one of the subjects I have tutored extensively

Geometry Tutoring

Pre Algebra Tutoring
This is the class before Algebra and before Calculus. It is the basis upon the next math classes rely on and it is one of the subjects I tutor very frequently
SAT Math Tutoring
I have not tutored many students in SAT ( only a handful) but the material covered is all calculus, Algebra, Geometry, word problems etc.
Statistics Tutoring
I have tutored few students in Statistics but because it is not frequent I usually need to have a textbook or prepare in advance. I feel pretty comfortable though with high school and college statistics
Homework Coach Tutoring
I feel very comfortable with directing students on how to do their homework including how to prepare answers and also advice them on the presentation. It is very common that students do not present problems and their answers clearly and therefore lose a lot of points on the way. I always advise people on that. I have not adviced students on how to organize themselves to get things done but would be very much happy to include that on my coaching
Science Tutoring
All my degrees are in science subjects such as math and geoscience so it makes sense to list this
Conversational Greek Tutoring
I have tutored children before in conversational Greek and I am a native speaker
Math Advance Tutoring
My first degrees are in mathematics but I have been using mathematics throughout my career and therefore I feel comfortable with the material.
Study Skills Tutoring
Because of my academic background I can help students with their studies and help them focus and get organised so that they get better results
