Bio

I have a PhD in mathematics and a BS in engineering with over 10 years of classroom teaching experience. I taught statistics and calculus at the University of Maryland. Now, I teach at local colleges. I have been tutoring for 25 years. Although I am an expert in mathematics with an extensive and excellent education, my real value as a tutor stems from my natural patience and ability to use Socratic questions to enhance learning.

I have a PhD in mathematics and a BS in engineering with over 10 years of classroom teaching experience. I taught statistics and calculus at the University of Maryland. Now, I teach at local colleges. I have been tutoring for 25 years. Although I am an expert in mathematics with an extensive and excellent education, my real value as a tutor stems from my natural patience and ability to use Socratic questions to enhance learning. My students all say that I put them at ease and that makes them feel free to learn. I clarify information using a variety methods and explanations. My goal is to use different tools to help students learn and retain the material that I am tutoring.

Some of my students have described my tutoring as: “Hediye is truly an incredible tutor and teacher… very patient and supportive.”, “…identified the most essential elements and formulas for me…”, “She is very patient and understanding.”, “…didn’t waste time”, “Hediye helps simplify concepts to make them more understandable.” Please feel free to read my reviews.

I am the first child in my large extended family to graduate from middle school. From there, I was able to progress all the way to achieving a PhD in mathematics. This inspired many of my family members, including siblings and cousins to follow in my footsteps and also complete college degrees. My son is a doctor in the army, and also has a degree in Biochemical engineering. My daughter graduated from UC Berkeley with an Energy Engineering degree. Now that my children do not need my academic assistance, I am able to share my expertise with other children and adults.

If you feel ready to make your next advancement in really understanding math challenges, I am here and ready to help you. If you want to avoid wasted time by receiving expert help, I am the tutor for you.

Excellent tutor: Very thorough, patient

Hediye is truly an incredible tutor and teacher. I worked with her as I studied for the Math Praxis II (code 0061) exam. First, she is very patient and supportive. As I had not studied much of this material in depth for some time (years!), I felt really out of the loop with much of the material. So I greatly appreciated how Hediye was so patient with me. Second, Hediye seemed to have a good sense of what I would need to focus on in order to pass. Clearly knowing all material through and through is ideal, but re-gaining that knowledge in 4 weeks time is near impossible. So I found it super helpful that Hediye identified the most essential elements and formulas for me for each content area covered on the test. I really appreciated how she also explained both simple and high-level content areas. This was perfect for my preparation for the test. Third, Hediye is incredibly focused. I appreciated how she was great on an interpersonal level (warm, friendly) but also got right down to business. Every session that we had was highly focused. And we always got through so much material! When I worked with Hediye, I went in to each session with specific questions, and some ideas for what content I wanted to review with her. This really worked for me. She was happy to answer questions (and always did so in a very accessible way) and then we worked on Math problems together. As an educator, I think that the best teachers are those who the student wants to work hard for. I respect Hediye, so I worked really hard and did not want to disappoint! Like I said, she is a truly amazing tutor and teacher.

Helping Child for Integrated Math I, really good

I have arranged tutoring for the Integrated Math I for my middle school children. She did not had much interest and confident to the math. She is happy with the tutor from Hediye and gaining confidence now.

Brian, 7 lessons with Hediye

Awesome teacher

I really appreciated how even online, she allowed me to visualize the material like I was looking at a white board in class. She utilized the screenshots of the material I had to actually draw the equations and that helped me tremendously as a visual learner.

Kim, 3 lessons with Hediye

Helped with tough math

Hediye helped my daughter with AOPS counting and probabilities class. She was able to solve and explain step by step these tough math problems, and my daughter felt a lot more confident in tackling it.

John, 5 lessons with Hediye

Knowledgeable and able to explain

My daughter said Hediye was knowledgeable and great at explaining the concepts. I will continue to use her and she has my recommendations for anyone that is looking for a tutor for math related subjects. My daughter did well on her test the next day. Not sure if I have used 160 characters but this is all I have to say

Beza, 13 lessons with Hediye

Detailed, professional & helpful

Hediye is patient and so knowledgeable regarding math and biostatistics. She has helped me understand nuanced details in my assignments, particularly in refining my calculations. I have worked with Hediye weekly all semester, and she has helped me succeed in my graduate class. Thank you, Hediye!

Kendall, 30 lessons with Hediye

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Dr. Gun is an experienced and accomplished instructor. She is very clear in her presentation and instruction. Our son appreciates her preparation and directness. Great for teaching counting and probability!

Mark, 16 lessons with Hediye

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.

She tried to teach, how to calculate the standard deviation. She tried to help me. She is very good. We did not find the right answer but kept on trying. She was patient and polite. She was on time. She communicated via e mail very well. I was satisfied with her.

Arvind, 1 lesson with Hediye

Awesome tutor, patient and adjusts pace as needed

My daughter has been working with Hediye for a few months now, and we are very pleased with the results. Hediye is great about adjusting the pace of the lessons to make sure my daughter understands the material, but quick enough to cover a lot of problems in each session. Highly recommended!

William, 46 lessons with Hediye

Outstanding tutor

Hediye has been tutoring my son in Calculus and definitely she is really structured and patient. I am glad to see her assisting us in the knowledge growth and preparation on this subject. Without doubt, she is highly recommendable.
