Milena: Indianola tutor
Certified Tutor
As a dedicated tutor with a Master's degree in Computing from the University of Utah, I have over 2 years of experience helping students excel in a wide range of subjects, including Calculus, Linear Algebra, Discrete Mathematics, Python programming, and Machine Learning. As a Teaching Assistant for Discrete Mathematics (250+ students per semester), I learned to explain complex ideas in simple, intuitive ways that connect theory with real applications.
My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to ask questions and explore complex concepts. I strive to connect with each student individually, tailoring my approach to meet their unique needs and learning styles. I am passionate about fostering a love for mathematics, as I believe that a strong foundation in these subjects opens doors to countless opportunities.
Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring new technologies and engaging in problem-solving activities, which continually inspire my teaching methods.

Graduate Degree: University of Utah - Master of Science, Computer Science
Outside of teaching and research, I enjoy a variety of creative and active hobbies that keep me balanced and inspired. I love crocheting and painting, which let me unwind while creating something tangible and expressive. I’m also passionate about interior design and DIY projects, where I combine creativity and problem-solving to transform spaces in thoughtful ways. When I’m not working on side projects or exploring new ideas in technology, I enjoy reading, gaming, and watching a wide range of films and shows, often finding new perspectives and inspiration through storytelling and design. I’m an active person who enjoys playing tennis and pickleball, as well as hiking and spending time outdoors. One of my favorite routines is taking my dog to local dog parks, which is both relaxing and a great way to connect with my community. I also find joy in playing the piano, which helps me focus and recharge through music.
