I'm a second year PhD student at University of Illinois at Chicago studying Probability and Statistics, with an interest in Game Theory. I am also a TA and I enjoy the teaching aspect of my program very much. I have been an active math tutor both professionally and for friends for the past few years and I love the experience of helping someone gain an understanding of mathematics. I hope to ignite the same love of the subject that I have, but at the very least helping students gain a proficiency and mastery of the subject is very satisfying.

I'm a patient person, good listener and communicator. I work well with students from middle school through college and I can tutor all K-12 math, including college Calculus, Probability, Statistics, Discrete Math, Linear Algebra, and other subjects. I have flexible afternoons and evenings, and I can get around Chicago without difficulty.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Discrete Math

I took discrete math undergraduate at Tufts and received an A. Topics included set theory, graph theory, combinatorics. Since then I have worked as a TA for "Finite Mathematics for Business" which had a major component of counting (combinations, permutations) problems, and linear programming, both of which are common in discrete math. Other topics in which I am well versed are formulation of proofs, which is a major component of most discrete math courses, as well as introductory logic.

Computer Programming

I've been programming ever since I was a child (1990 or so, I was 9 years old). I began programming in GWBASIC, and graduated to more complex languages as I got older - Q Basic, C++ and Visual C++ and soon got into webpage design and learned HTML and Javascript. In college I received a Bachelors in Computer Science and was introduced to many languages but PHP in particular was a language I fell in love with. Working in finance, a heavy emphasis was on Excel and I became adept at programming Excel... Read More

Linear Algebra

I took Linear Algebra during my undergraduate time at Tufts and received an A. Since that time I have taught a course in Mathematics for Business for which half the semester was focused on working with matrices to solve systems of linear equations and other applications (such as linear programming and input-output analysis problems) which used matrices.
