Bio

Hi! I have many years of tutoring experience for all grade levels. The bad news is that most students struggle with Math. The good news is that, not only is it my favorite subject but I also have a teaching credential in Math that allows me to teach Math for grades K-12!

My students find me approachable and feel comfortable to ask me questions on their homework. I also have patience with students and I take my time explaining concepts to them. I'm happy to say that I have helped many...

Hi! I have many years of tutoring experience for all grade levels. The bad news is that most students struggle with Math. The good news is that, not only is it my favorite subject but I also have a teaching credential in Math that allows me to teach Math for grades K-12!

My students find me approachable and feel comfortable to ask me questions on their homework. I also have patience with students and I take my time explaining concepts to them. I'm happy to say that I have helped many in the past improve their grades and I plan on continuing to do so as much as I can.

I have also been a teacher in the past. I taught elementary and middle school for a couple of years, and high school for 6 years. I love to teach, but I am equally passionate about tutoring. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to work with students on a one-on-one basis because they learn more that way. I have various tutoring methods which include visual aids, using acronyms, repetition, and teaching study strategies. Each student learns differently, so I try to accommodate each individually.

I am open to do online tutoring if a student is comfortable with that. Online tutoring allows for more flexibility in time and location. As far as my skills, I am bilingual in English and Armenian, and my communication is strong. I am willing to speak in my native language (Armenian) but I am also very comfortable working with diverse students, which I have been doing since the beginning. I hope to meet you soon!

Very Patient, very sweet!

I’ve never been tutored before but I feel very confident for my test now! Very patient and made me feel very comfortable.

Patient and Knowledgable

Sylvia is a patient tutor who is not only knowledgeable in math but also has excellent teaching skills and is able to explain concepts so that you understand. When I struggle to understand concepts, Sylvia takes time to show me how the best way to go about the math while also allowing me to work through problems myself. Sylvia's warm personality coupled with her expertise makes her a stellar tutor! Thank you, Sylvia!

KHALID, 2 lessons with Sylvia

Knowledgeable and Caring Tutor

After a couple of attempts on the Math section of my CBEST I still could not pass and knew I needed to find a tutor. That's when I came across Sylvia and right away I knew she would be able to help me. She would explain different methods to tackle a problem and help me solve it, it came out to the point where I could even do the problem myself without any guidance which I was never able to do before. She was very flexible to fit me into her schedule and very patient when I told her I didn't know the answer to the problem and worked with me. I would highly recommend her for she was an amazing tutor!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor for Math and CBEST Math

Sylvia was an excellent tutor. She tutored me on the CBEST Math Test. She helped clairfy concepts I did not understand and taught me test taking strategies. She was very thorough in teaching and explaining the solutions to the problems. She taught me word problems that entailed logic, probability, comparing decimals, percentile, stanine and raw charts, and forming equations with one and two unknown variables, etc. Sylvia was very patient, easy to communicate with, and was committed to helping me understand my lessons. She was very knowledgdable about Math and the CBEST Math Test and I highly recommend her to be your tutor. She was absolutely awesome.

Highly Recommended CSET Math Tutor!

Sylvia has helped my husband and I pass the CSET math portion of the test. Her ability to simplify problems for us was amazing. She taught us key strategies to use during the test that helped us break down questions. I left every session feeling more and more confident in my abilities to pass the test. My husband and I passed with 4 stars in the math section. I truly feel it was because of Sylvia’s help. I HIGHLY recommend her for whatever math needs you may have.
