About Nguyen


Bio

I have a PhD in Mathematics, and have taught college math courses for more than 10 years ranging from computational courses to more theory-based courses. I can help you with topics in intro courses like calculus (single and multivariable), linear algebra, etc. to more advanced courses like differential equations, real analysis.

I enjoy working with students one-on-one to help them gain understanding in, and, often, lose their fear of math. My tutoring philosophy is to never give out...

I have a PhD in Mathematics, and have taught college math courses for more than 10 years ranging from computational courses to more theory-based courses. I can help you with topics in intro courses like calculus (single and multivariable), linear algebra, etc. to more advanced courses like differential equations, real analysis.

I enjoy working with students one-on-one to help them gain understanding in, and, often, lose their fear of math. My tutoring philosophy is to never give out answers immediately. My goal as a tutor here is to help you figure out the steps yourself by asking questions to guide you along, and provide you with hints when you are stuck or unsure of how to proceed. Improving in math requires patience and perseverance. I am here to make sure you brush up on the skills needed, as well as understand new concepts you are learning in your course. I will also emphasize to you the important concepts for each topic, what you will need to practice beyond our meetings, etc.

Outstanding Teacher!

Couldn’t be more happy with our lessons! Great teaching and very reliable. Highly recommend! And very patient as well.

Extremely Helpful and Knowledgeable

Nguyen N. was a lifesaver for my calculus exams! She broke down tough concepts into easy-to-understand pieces, and her patience helped me become more confident on the subject.

Wendy, 12 lessons with Nguyen

Responsive and knowledgeable

My daughter is a freshman in college and was dismayed by the calculus mid terms. She had been triple advanced in math at high school , but transition to college level math is definitely challenging. She had a first meeting with Nguyen and pleased to continue the session with her. It is comforting to know that Ms. Nguyen could help her on the subject which she feel stressed over.

My most helpful teacher for my Final Exam

In my opinion, I would’ve chosen her sooner. The reason is because Ms Nguyen not only helped me work on my recent topics of Calculus, but also suggested me to work on additional problems for those topics. I appreciate her for helping me improve my knowledge of Calculus

Great ability to take complex concepts and make them accessible and clear

Nguyen worked with my son who is confused about a calculus problem. Helped him think through and approach it. He was more confident and determined to keep practicing.

Had My Son Smiling About Linear Algebra

My son needs help with university-level linear algebra and multivariate calculus. We had found a good tutor in the subject, but experience on Wyzant has taught us to have a competent back-up lined up, just in case. So, we gave Nguyen a try. My son came out of his initial session with Nguyen with a smile on his face and immediately asked for a follow-up. Nguyen's approach to tutoring (Socratic v. procedural) forced my son to engage with the subjects in a way that he hadn't before. He says he is feeling more confident in his understanding and is looking forward to more sessions with Nguyen.

Daryus, 15 lessons with Nguyen

As per my son: knows everything that even their original teacher did not understand.

LInear algebra was not being well taught in my son's school. Nguyen clarified and explained the content in a way that allowed my son to go from bewilderment to master in just 3 sessions. Very impressive.
