About Yasmina


Bio

Hello! I am very excited to work with you/your kid to achieve a better understanding of math! I have a BS in Mathematics from Tulane University, a Masters of Education from Vanderbilt University's world-renowned Peabody School of Education, 400+ hours of tutoring on Wyzant, and no less than 5 stars on any lesson ever.

Hello! I am very excited to work with you/your kid to achieve a better understanding of math! I have a BS in Mathematics from Tulane University, a Masters of Education from Vanderbilt University's world-renowned Peabody School of Education, 400+ hours of tutoring on Wyzant, and no less than 5 stars on any lesson ever.

My style is to simply help the student really understand what's happening behind the numbers, so memorization becomes less of a crutch. I take what is already known, no matter how basic, and show that you have the capacity to understand so much from it. I find holes in knowledge, fill them in, and then guide to your own understanding of the material. It's easier than it sounds (promise), and I've seen it benefit so many! You'll see improvement in only a few sessions.

What makes me outstanding is my compassion for students who struggle. Like many others here, I have a BS in Mathematics from a top ranking university. However, what separates me is my psychology education (BS, MEd) & experience as a clinical therapist. I know how it feels to struggle--like you just "can't." It's a roadblock in and of itself, but together we'll remove it.

What are you waiting for? Message if you want an extremely patient, focused, enthusiastic, and determined tutor to help you grow in math. You won't regret it!

SAT Math

SAT Math

The SAT Math section is the most daunting assessment for many high schoolers because it measures mathematical aptitude ranging from elementary concepts all the way to complex higher-level material. While there are several prep books and courses available, the most effective way to raise your score on the SAT Math section is to receive qualified, one-on-one tutoring. The feeling of getting a perfect score on the SAT Math section (including both Math I and Math II subject tests) was profound for me, and I love helping emerging graduates accomplish the very same thing.

Best Math Tutor in the World

I spent the first two weeks of my Calculus course utterly lost. The professor may as well have been lecturing in German. It became apparent that if I did not find some additional help, I would quickly fall behind. Enter Yasmina. Two weeks later, I got an A on the first exam, at which point I stopped going to class altogether. I found that in 2 or 3 hours, Yasmina and I could cover a week's worth of in-class material. Not only that, she found a way to make the math actually fun! I learned comprehension and understanding, as opposed to memorization. I ended the semester with an A and got the highest final exam grade across all sections of the course (1000+ college students). I attribute every ounce of my success and understanding in this course to Yasmina's remarkable teaching ability. I could not have done it without her. My experience was worth every penny, and I highly recommend her to anyone struggling or looking to get ahead in math.

A great help!

Yasmina tutored me in College Algebra when I was struggling and felt completely lost on what to do. I can genuinely say that Yasmina has helped me a lot. She’s super nice and patient and helped me through anything I struggled with. Now I feel more confident with exams and homework!

Explained everything in the simplest way!

I decided to pursue my dream and apply for nursing school. I had been out of school for almost a decade and math was always my weakest point. I failed my teas exam miserable when I applied. Yasmina brought my score from a 32% to an 82% in a very short period of time! I almost didn’t believe them when they told me my score 🤣🤣 she was knowledgeable and every single topic I had to know!! Always on time and responded fast as well which was a plus! Our study method was efficient and if she felt I wasn’t grasping something she always knew how to explain it in a more simpler way for me. Thank you so much!!!

Positive and caring tutor

An amazing tutor! Yasmina clicked right away with my daughter and was able to help pinpoint and explain issues in an amazing way! I fully recommend her. She is kind, patient and thoughtful.

11/10 Experience

I am struggling with PreCalc 2 and didn’t know how the basics even worked. Yasmina is super patient, sweet, and encouraging. We did a lesson on the basics and she did not undermine me and answered my questions in a way in which I can understand. By the end I learned something new that should’ve been taught to me long ago. This is my first actual tutor and it felt nice and comfortable working with her. Would definitely recommend! (From Las Vegas, NV)

On top of everything

Yasmina has just had a couple of sessions with my daughter and already my daughter feels more confident and happy. She has given my daughter extra time and put so much effort into making sure she understands everything. She is one of those rare finds. She is very accommodating and extremely pleasant to deal with.

Great and patient teacher

Yasmina really helped me prepare for my upcoming Pre-Calc test. We covered a great amount of my study guide in just an hour. I thoroughly understand and enjoy learning with Yasmina. She has helped me so much and I definitely recommend!!

Tutoring saved my grade

I started with Yasmina after the first couple of weeks in pre-calculus class. I’d already scored a 33 on a test and my average was easily an F. After my first session, my confidence began to grow. I scored a 73 on my second exam. Progress. After my third session, I was able to completely catch up on my lessons and scored a 100 on my exam that week. Yasmina is so patient and explains everything at a pace that lets the students absorb the information. I’m happy to say that I now have a B average in a class I just knew that I’d fail. I highly recommend using her!!

Learner Centered and Knowledgeable

I love that Yazmina has focused on my daughter’s needs and built upon her strengths in order to boost my daughters confidence in her math. My 8th grader looks forward to her sessions! When the sessions are over, I ask my daughter for a recap and she can tell me what she learned and what conceptual understandings have been clarified. I strongly recommend Yazmina as a tutor for anyone whose child is struggling in math.
