I earned a bachelor of science degree in applied mathematics, with a concentration in physics, and a computer science minor, from the University of Colorado in Boulder.

Hello!

I am currently a graduate student of applied mathematics at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden. I earned a bachelor of science degree in applied mathematics, with a concentration in physics, and a computer science minor, from the University of Colorado in Boulder. I initially began tutoring as a work-study position, providing drop-in tutoring in a math lab. I also worked in a special education classroom and led study groups that followed a course in its entirety. I enjoyed the work so much that I have continued tutoring independently with students in upper-level math and physics subjects. I can assist with courses one typically sees while earning a degree in engineering or applied science in a wide range of math and physics courses.

I am committed to helping you put theory into practice. I always try to strike a balance between formalism and intuition. Somedays we may want to talk about the details of a theorem or proof argument, while other times we may want to step back and talk about the big picture. I love the challenge of bringing abstract concepts down to earth, and continually adapting my approach to each student's unique learning style. If I can help fellow students succeed in their studies, that is a great reward for me! I employ popular resources like Mathematica and Matlab in sessions when a clear visual or script is needed. These have been invaluable tools that I use regularly and I hope to help you integrate them into your studies too.

I am in this to grow as a STEM educator. Working with students is mutually beneficial, as I learn new things in every session too. I am dedicated to lifelong learning and passing along the things I've discovered to others. I am always interested to talk about academic goals and strategies for success, so please don't hesitate to reach out anytime :)

Calculus

Calculus

I recently graduated from CU Boulder with a degree in physics and applied math. I tutored all through school and am stoked to be getting started with tutoring here on Wyzant!
Discrete Math

Discrete Math

Much of the content I first learned in a course on discrete math taken at the University of Colorado in Boulder also turned up in other coursework. For example it appeared in a computer science course on algorithms and other applied math courses on numerical methods and probability. I have also self studied out of an excellent book called 'Concrete Mathematics' because in any subject there is always more to learn :)
Mathematica

Mathematica

I use the software 'Wolfram Mathematica' as my main computational tool on a near daily basis. I first got started using this incredible software in my general physics sequence in my first year of college. My professor often used it in class, and I instantly recognized how invaluable a tool it would be for learning. I have since used it on some awesome projects involving a gravitational model of our solar system, equilibrium states of the three body problem, solving a system of ODE's describing the double pendulum, generating fractal images like the Apollonian gasket, and solving a PDE model of Chladni plates. I can get you started with discovering a world of possibilities you can do with this software, and how to incorporate it into your studies!
Probability

Probability

I’ve tutored many students in applied math subjects including probability theory. I’ve taken this course myself, earned an A in the class, and have also seen most of this material a second time in physics courses such as quantum mechanics and thermodynamics. I’ve got really good notes and resources for probability I’ve typed up myself and I also just love math and enjoy talking about it :)
Differential Equations
Linear Algebra

Knowledgeable and patient.

Great teacher, I would recommend to anyone who is struggling with any level of math. Evan thoroughly understood the concepts and would even derive formulas that I was confused with, and was clear about explaining them. Could not ask for a better tutor.

Aisha, 4 lessons with Evan

Good and very flexible tutor

I really appreciated his quick response and extraordinary flexibility when another "regular" tutor didnt show up right before an exam. He knows the material and knows where to look if he needs a quick refresh saving important time.

Beket, 1 lesson with Evan

Knowledgeable and Outstandingly Helpful Tutor!!!

Evan tutored me in both Differential Equations and Numerical and Computer Tools II over the course of a few weeks and compared to other tutors he really spent the time to help me understand the truly difficult concepts in these courses and answered any questions that I had. Also, he showed me some easier methods compared to how my professors were teaching it during class that were much easier to comprehend. Trust me, if you are struggling in any sort of math class, Evan is your guy he helped me tremendously!!

Demetri, 7 lessons with Evan

Easy to follow

Discrete math induction proofs with Fibonacci, matrices, and factorials. He was able to write things out in a way that was easy to understand. He is personable and knowledgeable.

Janice, 1 lesson with Evan

Patient and professional

Helped me out big time. I was really behind with a failing great in Pre cal and he sat with me patiently to complete study guide. I have slow processing and ADHD and he handled this like a pro

Kim, 3 lessons with Evan

Numerical Analysis homework

Evan was easy to work with, made me feel comfortable, and is very knowledgeable. I plan to continue to work with him this semester. He is also responsive and willing to work with you to coordinate a time that works with your schedule.

Ryan, 6 lessons with Evan

Best Tutor I’ve Ever Had

I was severely behind in my linear algebra class due to getting Covid and then breaking a finger. Evan was able to catch me up on about 3 months worth of lecture and helped me get an A when I had missed two midterms. I highly recommend picking Evan as your next tutor.

Eric, 9 lessons with Evan

Knows Linear Algebra by Heart

Evan has encyclopedic knowledge of the subject. He will never stammer or have to look something up, he simply knows the material. One gets the impression that he has read multiple textbooks on the subject. Additionally, his explanations are far clearer than either my textbook's or my lecturer's. I highly recommend him if you need help.

Gage, 10 lessons with Evan

Great teacher and excellent subject knowledge!

Rishabh benefited a lot from ur lesson today. He wanted to get good tips on a subject and he said you really helped him. Thanks!

Shashi, 4 lessons with Evan

Knowledgeable and friendly!

Evan and I went over an assignment involving Discrete Mathematics. He was very knowledgeable about the topic and was able to help me understand the assignment thoroughly. Evan brought up multiple examples to make things easier to comprehend and was friendly and conversational. I will definitely come to Evan the next time I need help!
