My favorite subject has always been mathematics, so my favorite occupation is to teach mathematics. In my teaching, I hope to help students get past the frustration and headaches associated with crunching numbers and reach the point of enjoying and exploring mathematics.

I have been tutoring math for 9 years now, and I am comfortable with all ages of students, from young elementary school students to college students. I have experience tutoring the following math subjects: Elementary Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Single Variable Calculus, Multi Variable Calculus and Differential Equations.

We can either focus on a class you are in, preparing for exams and working on homework together, or we could prepare for a standardized exam, such as the SAT or GRE. I have a very flexible schedule, and I can work late at night. I can also travel outside of my 10 mile radius (from Mountain View) for an additional fee. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.

My educational background is as follows:

MS in Applied Mathematics at UC Davis, 2013
GPA: 3.5
BS in Mathematics-Economics at UCLA, 2009
GPA: 3.61
High School Diploma at Agoura High School, 2005
GPA: 4.0

Alicia's Subjects

Math:
Test Preparation:

Homeschool:

Algebra 1

Algebra 1 focuses on factoring quadratic equations, and solving for x. It covers the quadratic equation and how to graph linear functions using point-slope form. I have experience tutoring high school and college level algebra.

Algebra 2

Algebra 2 focuses on graphing functions, such as parabolas, hyperbolas, ellipses, and circles. It also introduces students to the logarithmic function and exponential function. I have a lot of experience tutoring Algebra 2, and I really enjoy the subject.

Calculus

Calculus is my favorite subject. I think that this is when mathematics becomes really interesting and dynamic. I have experience tutoring AP Calculus.

Geometry

Geometry is vastly different from other math subjects. It consists of a lot of memorization of formulas and puzzle solving. However, the most challenging part of Geometry are the proofs. This course is usually a student's first exposure to proofs, and it can be very daunting. I have experience tutoring high school level Geometry.

Prealgebra

Prealgebra is very important in a young student's development. It builds the basics for variables such as x and y. All math builds off prealgebra.

Precalculus

Precalculus is an important stepping stone to prepare a student for Calculus. It consists of a lot of trigonometry and the beginning subjects of Calculus, such as limits. I have experience tutoring high school precalculus.

Trigonometry

Trigonometry is very important for a student to succeed in precalculus and calculus. The comforting thing about trigonometry is how one can fill in all of the information about a triangle or related shape with only a small amount of information.

SAT Math

The SAT challenges a students mathematics skills in a particular set of ways. Once a student can recognize the types of problems on the SAT, his or her success rate increases rapidly. I can help students recognize the patterns of the SAT and how to tackle the problems.

GRE

The GRE mathematics section is actually very closely related to the SAT mathematics section. As long as the student can learn to recognize the types of questions asked, he or she can learn to answer them in a strategic manner. I can help my students to recognize the different types of questions.

Discrete Math

Specifically, I have taken a course on Discrete Math at UCLA and received an A-. However, I have also taken classes at UCLA in Probability, Calculus, Algebra, and Computer Science, all of which include important applications of Discrete Mathematics. Additionally, I was part of a research group that used Graph Theory to explore the subject matter at head, which is another application of Discrete Math.

Differential Equations

I have taken three courses at UCLA in differential equations: one basic course and two upper division courses: Ordinary Differential Equations and Nonlinear and Linear Systems of Differential Equations. I received an A in the lower division course, a B+ in ODE's, and am in the last class currently, aiming for an A of course. Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide you with.

Linear Algebra

I have taken basic Linear Algebra at UCSC and received an A+, and advanced Linear Algebra at UCLA. Thus, I am very comfortable teaching all the components of linear algebra, such as matrices, vectors, determinants, inverses, bases, etc.
