Hi! My name is Hristina. I am currently a senior at the University of Florida pursuing two Bachelor of Science degrees in Mathematics and Information Systems. I have developed a profound understanding of various mathematical concepts, and I enjoy breaking them down in a simple way to students. My goal is to ensure my students feel confident about the material by the end of our tutoring session!

My tutoring sessions are through Zoom, where I share my screen with the student. Then, we do practice problems together, and I break down the problem by explaining each step. I am very patient, and I will gladly explain a concept in detail to make sure it makes sense to the student. I emphasize a student-centered approach, where I encourage active participation and provide a supportive learning environment. My goal is not only to help students excel academically but also to build their confidence in their abilities. I am excited to work with you and help you achieve your academic goals and help you get that A in your math class!

My experience as a Learning Assistant for Calculus 1 and Calculus 2 at the University of Florida during Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 has given me the necessary skills to support students in understanding complex mathematical concepts. Additionally, my role as a Math Tutor at Mathnasium during my senior year of high school, where I tutored students from elementary to high school, has provided me with valuable insights to meet the individual needs of each student. My ability to communicate effectively with both students and parents has been instrumental in creating personalized tutoring plans and tracking student progress. Furthermore, my experience as a Data Analyst Intern at MadCow Digital, a data analytics company in Ireland, has enhanced my skills in data analysis and visualization, which I integrate into my teaching to provide a comprehensive learning experience.

Knowledgable and relatable

My daughter felt comfortable working with Hristina, understood her explanations, and walked away with an increased understanding of the subject matter. Thanks Hristina! Updated. Hristina has now tutored both my children, a high school student and a college student. Both students prefer working with Hristina. She is patient, explains math in a way they understand, and relates to them better than other tutors have. Side note. My jr just scored a 99% on her most recent Algebra II chapter test. THANKS HRISTINA!!

Passion for Math! Patient, Dedicated, Wonderful Tutor!

Hristina reviewed and explained thoroughly Algebra 1 work given by my child's math teacher. She is patient and repeated concepts until understanding was obtained. Hristina is passionate about math! We've done in-person tutoring sessions for many years, but this was our first online experience. POSITIVE outcome and will definitely schedule again!

Hristina is great!! Very helpful and understanding. She breaks down the problems in a way to make it easier to understand. She is patient and always willing to help. I highly recommend her to anyone who is taking College Algebra. I am taking an online class that is accelerated and tend to struggle in math but I feel like I am starting to get it!

Cari , 3 lessons with Hristina

really nice and good at explaining things!

Hristina is very understanding and she will explain things multiple ways to help you understand a math problem. She is also very patient. Highly recommend!

Karen, 4 lessons with Hristina

What makes Hristina a good tutor would be how in depth she goes with each problem and if you need extra help she will gladly go back so you can understand the material.

Hristina taught me very well, she helped me understand the material I was having trouble with which I really appreciated. The things I liked about her tutoring would be how she went step by step due to how I needed extra help. She has helped me accomplish getting to know more of the concept on inequalities.
