About Iulia

Bio

Hello,

My name is Iulia (pronounced Yulia) and I have been a tutor for close to 12 years now. As a tutor, my goal to help students build their academic knowledge and skills to gain confidence, to succeed in class and beyond.

One thing that that I love about tutoring is how you can break knowledge down into simple bite size pieces and then show students those pieces fit together into larger knowledge systems. This knowledge building, when done right, is like a self-reinforcing structure...

Hello,

My name is Iulia (pronounced Yulia) and I have been a tutor for close to 12 years now. As a tutor, my goal to help students build their academic knowledge and skills to gain confidence, to succeed in class and beyond.

One thing that that I love about tutoring is how you can break knowledge down into simple bite size pieces and then show students those pieces fit together into larger knowledge systems. This knowledge building, when done right, is like a self-reinforcing structure that I am happy to pass on to people to help them gain the success that I described above.

Some things I do to help new material stick for students include helping them see how new information is related to what they already know, offer analogies, and examples with visuals or manipulatives.

Another way is to help students see strings of patterns in the information they're learning because, I believe, once a pattern is seen, it's harder to unsee, or more specifically, to forget.

One thing that amazes me when I work with students is how many ways there are to break down the same pieces of information to help students understand that information. Everyone has their own perspective and seeing the material from a student's perspective allows me to personalize explanations and target the lessons to exactly what the students need. This, I find, allows me to deliver information in a way that is truly memorable for students.

After helping students understand material from class, I like to give them practice problems so that they will not only have an understanding, but practice using the problem solving methods they will need so that they see how the methods work and will be able to complete the problems on their own.

I enjoy giving students the freedom to be able to solve problems for themselves, and it's something that I would be happy to do for you or your student.

If you're interested in having a session, please feel free to book a session or to contact me!

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

In Algebra I, I explain to students topics such as: solving multi-step equations and inequalities working and changing between equations that have different forms solving for systems of equations (where you have to solve for a value when you have 2 equations to start with) and how to graph them how to work with scientific notation and laws of exponents proportional reasoning measures of central tendency and data displays factoring polynomials and simplifying them using basic operations and solving for and graphing absolute value equations and inequalities. I also provide students with examples, word problems and practice problems.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I have worked with lots of students in elementary math - at all levels - and I use a variety of techniques to help kids understand their school work. These include showing students how new material relates to or builds on what they’ve already learned, helping students see when and how previously learned skills are used in new tasks, using models and manipulatives to help students visualize new concepts (to make new information concrete and easy to understand), and helping students move from simple to more abstract ways of thinking. I use these methods to help students see why math works the way it does (or the logic behind the processes used), which makes math stick in students' minds more easily and makes it more memorable. In addition, I also contextualize math by giving examples and word problems to show students how the problems they're working on arise and are dealt with in everyday life.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

In prealgebra I teach students how variables are used as substitutes for unknown numbers, and how to use the principles they've been learning in elementary math - using operations with known numbers - to help them more quickly understand how the concepts in prealgebra. These include balancing equations and solving for an unknown while working across fractions and decimals, and extend to working with powers and roots. At the end of all of this, it is important to put problems in a context for students, so that they can see how math is used in real life situations.

Examples of Expertise

Iulia has provided examples of their subject expertise by answering 12 questions submitted by students on Wyzant’s Ask an Expert.

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

We are sooo happy to have found Iulia! She is indeed patient and kind and has a zest for helping students find their inner detective so that they understand how math works together, not just about recitation of facts.

Thank you for your feedback Ms. Susan! My goal is always to help students understand what they need to do and the logic of why those steps are needed. Thank you again for your feedback!

Calm and patient

Iulia was very patient and encouraging in working with my child on her handwriting skills. She has a very gentle way of keeping my daughter on task and guiding her through the lesson.

First session went great!

Iulia is a patient and experienced tutor who is willing to go above and beyond to help you out! When I mentioned that I wanted to teach ESL students, she gave me some nice tips on how to teach English.

David, 3 lessons with Iulia

Absolutely fantastic dual-language elementary math tutor!

Iulia has been tutoring my son for elementary math since last summer, and she's made a real difference in his math grades. He attends a dual-language elementary school, and all his math classes are taught in Spanish, even though he is not a native Spanish speaker. Iulia's knowledge of the Spanish language and proficiency in math make her the perfect tutor for my son. Her assistance has enabled him to excel in math, even though his tests and homework are written in Spanish. Iulia is kind, honest, patient, and a very hard worker!

Tutor responded:

Dear Mrs. Yvonne, thank you so much for your encouraging words. It has been great working with your son and I always try to provide enough examples to ensure students master and become comfortable with the subjects they learn. Thank you again for your support!
