Hi! I'm Lara, a senior at the University of Florida graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Astrophysics, Physics, and Mathematics. I have been tutoring for over five years and mainly tutor mathematics. I am experienced in tutoring from the preschool level up to the college-level. I have tutored students from diverse backgrounds and am here for academic support. I can patiently help you through whatever you may not understand. We can start from the simple topics and slowly build up to more difficult concepts, going above and beyond what is asked.

I worked at the Math Learning Center at Florida Atlantic University for two years tutoring college-level calculus, earning me my College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA) certification. I hosted office hours for students in need while also communicating with professors regarding their future lesson plans. I made exam study guides and hosted review sessions for students and helped them succeed in the course.

I worked as a Lead Instructor at Mathnasium for nearly three years. I assessed students to determine if they are on track for their grade level and gave them topics to work on based on their assessment score. I spoke with parents regarding their child's test scores and outlined a future learning plan that they would be working on for the next few months. I have instructed up to differential equations and also assist in SAT prep, as I have earned a perfect 800 in the math portion of the SAT.

I was also a teaching assistant for geometry, algebra 2, and pre-calculus at my high school for three years, where I assisted in making exams, assignments, and lesson plans for students while also teaching lessons to the class. I offered one-on-one tutoring for students who needed additional support.

I make sure to gather my previous teaching experiences to help me become a better instructor. I am hoping to successfully spread my knowledge here on Wyzant. Feel free to reach out! :)

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

Lara has been our Precalculus tutor for my son and has been amazing. She is very patient and knows all the current topics. She also has tutored our younger son in Algebra and has really been instrumental in helping my boys achieve an A in both rigorous classes. I highly recommend using her!

Knowledgeable and patient math tutor

Lara has been helping my daughter with her AP Precalculus class. She has been patient and willing to work with my daughter's busy schedule. She is very organized, knowledgeable, and prepared for each session, and I love that she provides feedback and a summary after each lesson. I'm so grateful to her for helping my daughter through a tough class. Thank you, Lara!

Knowledgeable and patient!

Lara has tutored both my kids and my nephew. She is awesome! So far she's gone through 7 grade math through Algebra 2 with them. She gives great feedback and clear explanations. She also goes out of her way to provide extra notes to help support the topics they are learning in school. She has helped both boys with middle school science as well. Lara is the best tutor in town!

Extremely knowledgeable and patient tutor

Booked a two hour session with Lara to go over pre-calculus material. Her method of explaining problems allowed me easily understand questions/equations previous tutors couldn’t.
