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

Business Calculus Tutoring

I have taught Business Calculus and have tutored many students in the subject. I also have had numerous math classes as a masters and a doctoral studenth

Calculus I Tutoring

I have been an instructor, teaching assistant, grader and tutor for Calculus for many years

Calculus 2 Tutoring

Same reasons as Business Calculus and Calculus I

College Algebra Tutoring

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

Geology Tutoring

I have a PhD in Geophysics. As a graduate student I have been a teaching assistant for few geology classes such as Intro to Geology, Pacific Northwest Geology, Dinosaurs, Minerals and Gems etc

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

Calculus AP Tutoring

DI have not tutored I believe students from Advanced placement Calculus but I have taught Calculus in College so I feel comfortable with it

Geometry Tutoring

This is part of the high school curriculum and is therefore part of the material I cover with my students

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

GRE Tutoring

I have previously taken the GRE General test and I am familiar with the content. GRE can be split into two parts the material covered and the time allowed to complete the test. Both are important
