Harvard Grad Math and Physics Tutor

Larissa D.

Terrific tutor

We were incredibly fortunate to find Larissa after trying several other tutors for my high school daughter and her friend, who were taking multivariate calculus at our local university. Larissa has a remarkable ability to break down complex concepts into manageable, clear explanations, making even the most abstract topics understandable. Not only is Larissa a subject-matter expert, but she is also incredibly patient and encouraging, creating a supportive learning environment where my daughter and her friend felt comfortable asking questions and tackling difficult problems. Thanks to Larissa, both girls genuinely mastered the material and they performed exceptionally well in the course. I highly recommend Larissa to anyone seeking an outstanding tutor for advanced mathematics.

Awesome Multivariable lesson

Larissa is great teacher who is very knowledgeable in Multivariable Calculus and helped my son to learn concepts and solve problems in this new subject. Thank you!

Very good

Ms. Larissa helped my daughter prepare for her Geometry regents. My daughter has now a better understanding of the different formula. Larissa was very helpful and patient

Great Calculus Tutor

Larissa is great. She is patient, knowledgeable and responsive. She does a great job explaining so that it is easier to understand! We are going to use her all summer!

Easy to understand

When I leave my professor’s differential equations class I almost always feel totally lost. After just one tutoring session, I feel like I could take the test the next day!

You could not ask for a better math tutor!

Larissa and I have worked together across two semesters and two different math subjects (linear algebra and Differential Equations) so far. Larissa does a wonderful job assisting with quick pointers, deep analysis, and efficient explanations, no matter the type of questions or subject matter. For context, I'm pursuing a Master's degree in Math and intend to work in the public sector, constructing policies. As a fellow tutor (albeit quite a bit lower in capability than Larissa), I can appreciate her capabilities as one of the best tutors I have ever worked with. I recommend her to anyone who needs assistance in math or physics.

Very knowledgeable patient tutor

Excellent explanation of material, in a clear, easy to understand language. She seeks feedback from the student so that she can focus on areas which need additional explanation. Excellent experienced tutor, evidently Harvard PhD helps!

Patient, Perceptive, and Perfect for Linear Algebra

My session with Larissa exceeded my expectations. New to linear algebra, I wasn't sure where to begin with my questions - I didn't even know what specific questions to ask. Larissa immediately picked up on my knowledge gaps and methodically built a foundation over an hour that closely mirrored the textbook. Her knowledge of the subject is impressive, but her ability to explain it in a way that I understand is what sets her tutoring apart. I consider myself a slower learner, and Larissa met me at my pace. Couldn't ask for a better tutor. Already scheduled another session prior to my exam.

Very helpful

She goes through every problem which helps me to understand. While she goes through each problem she also talks through it. She is very helpful and understands a lot about the subject that she is teaching.

Knowledgeable and thorough tutor

Larissa was flexible with my finals schedule and helped me prepare for my linear algebra final. Glad I scheduled with her and will contact her again for additional sessions next term.
