Bio

Hi! My name is Lydia. I am currently in my fourth year, pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics at Emmanuel College in Boston, MA. I have had a lifelong passion for math, starting at a young age, when I would often be found teaching math to my dolls. I am passionate about helping others to discover the natural joy and beauty of math. I strive to foster a mindset that math does not need to be feared, and that all it takes to be “good” at math is a willingness to make mistakes and ask...

Hi! My name is Lydia. I am currently in my fourth year, pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics at Emmanuel College in Boston, MA. I have had a lifelong passion for math, starting at a young age, when I would often be found teaching math to my dolls. I am passionate about helping others to discover the natural joy and beauty of math. I strive to foster a mindset that math does not need to be feared, and that all it takes to be “good” at math is a willingness to make mistakes and ask questions. I have experience tutoring Prealgebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Algebra 3, IB Math, High School Geometry, College Geometry, Precalculus, Calculus 1, Calculus 2, Calculus 3, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, Linear Algebra, Probability, and Statistics.

I have a strong educational background, as I have received an A+ in all of my courses so far including: Precalculus, Calculus 1, Calculus 2, Calculus 3, Linear Algebra, Real Analysis, Introduction to Proofs, College Geometry, MATLAB, Statistics with R/RStudio, Probability, Abstract Algebra, Math Modeling, Oceanography w/ Lab, and Biology w/ Lab. I am also pursuing a minor in math education, and have taken courses in both education and psychology, providing me with the skillset to provide a holistic learning experience, supportive of not only a student's academic needs, but social-emotional needs as well.

I have virtual tutoring experience with both high school and college age students, including students with learning disabilities and additional needs. I am confident that I have the skillset and technological tools to provide a seamless and engaging virtual learning experience. All students learn best in different ways, so I strive to use a diverse array of strategies to make my lessons engaging and understandable to all students.

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I received a 200/200 on the mathematics portion of the GED which primarily assesses Prealgebra, Algebra 1, and Algebra 2 skills. I have also received an A+ in all of the college level math courses I have taken so far, which includes, but is not limited to, the full Calculus sequence. These courses require a strong background in Algebra to succeed. I have a lot of experience tutoring students of varying ages and levels in Algebra 1.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I received a 200/200 on the mathematics portion of the GED which assesses Algebra skills at the high school level (Algebra 1 and Algebra 2). Additionally, I took a college math placement exam, which placed me at the Calculus 2 level (this encompasses the skills required for Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Precalculus, and Calculus 1). Further, I have received an A+ in all of the college-level math courses I have taken so far, which includes, but is not limited to, Pre-Calculus, Calculus 1, Calculus 2, and Calculus 3 (all of these courses require a strong background in both Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 to be successful). I have also successfully tutored several students in both algebra and calculus courses.

Really talented teacher

Lydia has a natural attitude to explain hard things in a calm and efficient way. My daughter had Calc 3 session with her, we will definitely get back to Lydia for future classes.

Patient and helpful

Lydia made sure I understood every single step. Before entering my session I was worried that I had some“stupid” questions, but she answered each of them with kindness and was very encouraging.
