About Lia


Bio

I aim to make tutoring sessions engaging and effective. I know how rewarding it is to write clean, efficient code and solutions and I understand how any math, physics, or coding problem can be met with a variety of approaches. My expertise across different subjects allows me to help people connect ideas and identify patterns that make learning and problem solving easier. If you're looking to boost your (child's) learning and understanding, let's work together!

Approved Subjects

C++

C++

Intro to C++ & CS, Data Structures, Algorithms, Computational Mathematics, and More! With degrees in CS and Applied Math, I am prepared to share my expertise in creating code and algorithms in C++ and C
Computer Science

Computer Science

I have several degrees in computational fields. I have worked with many coding languages and a large assortment of CS projects of varying sizes. I have tutored students in data structures, Assembly, computational math/physics, dynamics simulations, Python applications, and more.
Fortran

Fortran

I have coded in Fortran and worked with Fortran packages as an applied scientist and mathematician for several years. This includes applied linear algebra and differential equations as well as dynamical systems including CFD (and packages such as FLASH and GFD). I have also utilized Fortran in graduate level research and studies.
MATLAB

MATLAB

I have coded extensively in Matlab for mathematics and physics applications in both research and university-level coursework. I am fluent in the use of several Matlab packages including optimization, plotting, inporting and exporting, writing clean and modular functions and programs, and more. Additionally, I have been a teaching assistant and tutor for several courses that utilize Matlab.

Computer Science

Lia helped me many times while I went through my computer science 2 course. Lia has all the best traits you want in a teacher. She’s very patient, and always did a great job explaining some of the harder concepts to understand in computer science. I would highly recommend Lia if you need help with programming.

Scott, 24 lessons with Lia

Lia is amazing

Lia helped my sophomore navigate a difficult semester of honors Math 3. She was patient and explained the concepts in a way that was easy to understand. Highly recommend!

Karen, 17 lessons with Lia

Kind and organized

Lia explains things so well, and is very knowledgeable. She responds quickly to session requests, which is good for me because I often need a tutor on short notice because I try as much as I can to do the assignments questions myself up until the hand-in deadline.

Anita, 4 lessons with Lia

great help with C++

Clear and concise explanations to help further reinforce areas that were not clear from class. Highly recommend and will used again.

Allison , 1 lesson with Lia

Matlab

Lia was very patient and knowledgable in Matlab. Son was very appreciative of her help! She guided my son in the right direction on his project helping him get rid of errors.

Tina, 2 lessons with Lia

Knowledgeable and patient

She did her best to help me through my MatLab problems while experiencing multiple technical issues. We discussed indexing during loops. Would recommend and will come back if I need more help!

Linsay, 1 lesson with Lia

Helpful and knowledgeable tutor.

Lia is a great tutor, highly recommend! She helped me tackles MatLab problems by providing different strategies and walking me through potential solutions. Her attention to detail helped me feel more confident in my abilities.

Lorenzo, 4 lessons with Lia

Kind and patient tutor

Lia was so helpful for my daughter who was switched into Computer Science 2 weeks after the start of school, so she had a lot of catching up to do. This subject was entirely new to my daughter, and because the amount of work seemed so overwhelming, she was considering dropping the class. After one session with Lia, she was able to work independently and catch up on the homework, and she has decided that she really enjoys Computer Science! We highly recommend this tutor.

Jane, 1 lesson with Lia

Matlab

Super amazing tutor! Helped me understand how to find the roots of functions using matlab. Helpful, patient, and clear at explaining topics until u understand fully!

Batyah, 14 lessons with Lia

Great Tutor, knowledgeable, patient and understanding

My daughter was so frustrated with her AP Computer Science class (Java Coding) because the teacher assumed everybody knew how to code before taking the class while no computer programming experience was required before taking the class. She helped my daughter understand, start, and complete the project assigned by her teacher. My daughter was able to learn what she had missed in her school class while working on the project with Lia's great instruction. After only 3 classes with Lia, she is confident and comfortable with her assignments and tests. Thank Lia, my nervous child is happy now and it means a lot to me! :) We keep working with Lia until the end of the school year. I highly recommend Lia to everyone.
