I’m currently a senior at the University of Florida pursuing two Bachelor of Science degrees in Mathematics and Information Systems and an undergraduate certificate in AI Fundamentals and Applications. Since high school, I have been deeply interested in mathematics. Throughout college, I have realized how much I enjoy breaking down mathematical concepts to students in a simple way. My goal is to make my students feel good about math and help them gain confidence in their math skills. With my help, you can get an A in your math class!

I conduct my tutoring sessions through Zoom. I share my screen with the student, and we go over the material and do practice problems together. While doing this, I break down the concepts in the problem step-by-step. I am very patient, and I will gladly explain a concept in detail to make sure it makes sense to the student. I encourage active participation from the student in order to provide a supportive learning environment. My goal is to help my students gain confidence in their math abilities. I am excited to work with you to achieve your academic goals!

Some of my experience includes (1) Learning Assistant for Calculus 1 at the University of Florida, (2) Learning Assistant for Calculus 2 at the University of Florida, (3) Data Analytics Internship at MadCow Digital in Ireland, (4) Research Assistant in biological mathematics at the University of Florida, (5) Research Assistant in posterior modeling using mathematical methods at the University of Florida, and (6) Teaching Assistant for International Business at the University of Florida.

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!!
