Tutor Information
About
Hi! I'm Anastasia. I offer online math tutoring to high school and university students. Topics I can help you with:
- High school math (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, functions,...)
- Calculus
- Linear algebra
- Probability
- Other topics may be considered upon request
I have a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Texas at Austin, where I specialized in probability theory and financial math. Throughout the years of studying and doing mathematics, I participated successfully in math olympiads and prepared younger students; tutored calculus, probability, and financial math; TA’d for various math courses at UT Austin; and taught computational finance as a lecturer at the University of Alberta.
My goal is to help you become confident and comfortable using mathematical concepts by understanding them really well. Good grades and passed exams are a natural byproduct of that. I will answer your questions and ask you questions, in a dialogue, to dig deep into the topic you have problems with or would like to understand better. We will start by working with any materials and questions that you bring, and I can recommend or prepare something more as needed - tailored to you and your specific situation and needs.
When you study mathematics at school, college, or university, you are trying to master – in 10-15 years – the body of knowledge that took ~2,500 years and life's works of many very intelligent people to build. Feeling lost and like it's too much is just natural. There is no such thing as a dumb question when you study math. Your questions (and not mindless drilling) is where you actually start doing the real math.
Past students have told me I'm patient. People often describe me as thoughtful. I'm always learning and I love to help complex topics "click" for people. Communication with me will be transparent, clear, and fast. If you want to gain clarity and better understanding of math – let's connect!
