About Lydia

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, Transition to Advanced Mathematics (Introduction to Proofs), 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, as well as honors students. 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.
Calculus

Calculus

I received an A+ in all of my college-level Calculus courses including Precalculus, Calculus 1, Calculus, 2, and Calculus 3, as well as Real Analysis and Linear Algebra. I also scored a 200/200 on the mathematics portion of the GED, reflecting my strong foundation in Algebra and Prealgebra as well. I have successfully tutored many different students in all levels of Calculus.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I received a 200/200 on the mathematics portion of the GED, which covers all foundational math material from elementary, middle, and high school. I have received an A+ in all of my college level math courses so far including, but not limited to, the full Algebra and Calculus sequences, as well as college level Geometry. I have also received an A+ in all of the education courses I have taken so far, which has helped me to learn how to meet the holistic needs of every student, especially vital at the elementary level. I have successfully tutored students at a wide variety of ages and levels.
GED

Study Skills

Study Skills

My experience in test-taking strategies allowed me to achieve a 200/200 on the mathematics portion of the GED and “college-ready” scores for all other portions of the GED. I have experience tailoring my lessons to the unique needs of every student — I help guide other students to find the test-taking strategies that work for them, as all students learn in different ways, and what works best for one student may not be what works best for the next student. I am minoring in math education, and have taken several Psychology and Education classes, all of which I have received an A+ in. These classes have equipped me with up-to-date knowledge on evidence-based and inclusive pedagogical practices, and allow me to support not only the students academic needs but social-emotional needs as well. I aim to foster a growth mindset with everything I teach, and it is my goal to help students develop a positive mindset about learning and math.

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.

Superb Tutor for Linear Algebra

Lydia V was a superb tutor for Linear Algebra. She is extremely patient, kind and excels at explaining concepts to advance learning and empowering her tutored students to understand and succeed. She is very good at tutoring and whoever is fortunate enough to engage with her as a tutor will be very glad they did. She is reliable and follows up with great summaries of the lessons. Cannot say enough good things about Lydia tutoring!

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.
