Bio

Hi! To introduce myself, I've always been a naturally curious person, drawn to challenging puzzles, and fascinated by the different ways to approach a problem. I love recognizing patterns, thinking critically, and finding creative solutions, especially when the answer isn't immediately obvious. To me, mathematics is much more than numbers and formulas. It's an opportunity to think differently, ask questions, and discover how things work. I love helping students experience that exciting moment...

Hi! To introduce myself, I've always been a naturally curious person, drawn to challenging puzzles, and fascinated by the different ways to approach a problem. I love recognizing patterns, thinking critically, and finding creative solutions, especially when the answer isn't immediately obvious. To me, mathematics is much more than numbers and formulas. It's an opportunity to think differently, ask questions, and discover how things work. I love helping students experience that exciting moment when everything finally clicks!

I graduated from the University of Florida with two Bachelor of Science degrees in Mathematics and Information Systems, along with a certificate in AI Fundamentals and Applications. I'm currently pursuing my Master's degree in Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan.

Throughout my academic journey, I've discovered that my passion for mathematics goes hand in hand with my love for teaching. With over 1,100 hours of tutoring experience, I've had the opportunity to work with students of different ages, backgrounds, and learning styles. One of my favorite parts of tutoring is watching a student go from feeling overwhelmed by a topic to confidently solving problems on their own. I believe every student is capable of succeeding in mathematics, and sometimes all it takes is the right explanation, a fresh perspective, and a little encouragement. I conduct all of my tutoring sessions online through Zoom, where I use interactive, step-by-step explanations and collaborative problem-solving to keep students engaged.

Beyond tutoring, I've served as a Calculus I and II Learning Assistant and an International Business Teaching Assistant at the University of Florida, conducted mathematical and statistical research at both the University of Florida and the University of Michigan, and completed internships in data analytics and business analysis. Currently, I'm also working on an industrial engineering consulting project with Ford Motor Company.

5 Star Review

Throughout my Business Calculus class, I struggled badly. Math has always been my hardest subject, and I had never had a tutor before. I was honestly ashamed to ask for help and kept thinking that even if I did, I would still struggle, so what was the point of spending the money. After failing my second midterm, I finally decided to seek support, and that decision truly changed everything. I found Hristina, and from our very first session, I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I had never felt so confident during a math lesson before. She explained concepts in a way that finally made sense to me and made me feel comfortable asking questions without judgment. From there, the rest was history. Before working with her, I scored a 28% on my first midterm and a 40% on my second midterm. After tutoring with Hristina, I earned a 92% on my third midterm. By the time I took my final, I earned an 87% and raised my overall course grade from a 60% to an 82%, passing the class with a B. This is the highest math grade I’ve ever earned, especially considering my professor is a very strict grader considering that the highest score on the final was an 89%. I genuinely don’t think I would have passed this course without her. Hristina is patient, supportive, and truly cares about her students’ success. If you are struggling with math or feel hesitant about asking for help like I did, I cannot recommend her enough!!!

Absolute Lifesaver for college Calculus II (6 week summer accelerated)

Hristina is an incredible tutor! My son is in as accelerated, 6-week university Calculus II course. After just 3 hours of sessions, the turnaround has been amazing. ** Better than professor: She breaks down complex concepts (like integration by parts) so they finally make sense. ** Incredibly prepared: She brings her own worksheets, shares extra study resources, and sends detailed notes after every session. ** Communication: Highly responsive, flexible with scheduling, and keeps us constantly updated on his progress. Hristina is engaging, organized, and has completely taken the stress out of a difficult subject. We have already booked her for daily sessions for the rest of the term. Thank goodness we found her ;-)
