Wako

Certified Tutor

I am a passionate and experienced math teacher/tutor specializing in a broad range of topics including algebra, calculus (I, II, III, IV), geometry, trigonometry, real analysis, linear algebra, abstract algebra, and differential equations. My goal is to make complex mathematical ideas accessible and engaging for students at all levels, from middle school to high school to university.

Throughout my tutoring journey, I've developed a student-centered approach that focuses on clarity, patience, and adaptability. Whether I'm helping someone grasp the fundamentals of algebra, guiding them through the intricacies of calculus, or exploring the deeper structures of abstract algebra and real analysis, I tailor my teaching to match each student's unique learning style.

I believe that math is more than a subject. It's a way of thinking that builds logical reasoning and problem-solving skills. My lessons emphasize understanding over memorization, aiming to build confidence and long-term academic success. From visual aids in geometry and trigonometry to intuitive explanations of eigenvalues in linear algebra or convergence in real analysis, I strive to make every topic meaningful and relatable.

Tutoring gives me the opportunity to share my enthusiasm for mathematics and to witness firsthand the transformation that comes from personalized support and consistent encouragement. I'm excited to bring my expertise and energy to your team and help students unlock their full potential in mathematics.

Outside of my academic and professional life, I enjoy a variety of hobbies that keep me both mentally and creatively engaged. I'm an avid chess player, drawn to the game's strategic depth and the focus it requiresqualities that complement my passion for mathematics. Music is another major part of my life; I find great joy and relaxation in playing the piano and guitar. I also enjoy taking long walks, which give me time to think, reset, and appreciate the simple rhythm of being outdoors. These hobbies not only bring balance to my life but also enrich my approach to teaching and problem-solving.
