Dear Students, I am a PhD mathematician and university professor with more than 35 years of teaching experience in the United States and internationally. I have taught mathematics at many levels, from introductory college courses to advanced undergraduate and graduate classes. My areas of teaching and tutoring include Calculus, Linear Algebra, Probability and Statistics, Differential Equations and PDEs, Discrete Mathematics, Mathematical Analysis, and related subjects. I also help students prepare for examinations, improve their academic performance, and strengthen the mathematical foundations they need for more advanced coursework.
My goal is not simply to help students complete an assignment or memorize formulas. I want them to understand the ideas behind the mathematics, develop effective problem-solving strategies, and gain the confidence to approach unfamiliar questions independently. Because every student learns differently, I first identify the true source of the difficulty. It may be a conceptual gap, an algebraic weakness, trouble interpreting a problem, or uncertainty about how to begin. I then guide the student through the reasoning process using clear explanations, carefully selected examples, and questions that encourage active participation.
I have extensive experience teaching both in person and online, and I enjoy working with students who are struggling as well as those seeking advanced enrichment. My students have consistently evaluated my teaching very positively, particularly noting my patience, clarity, and ability to make difficult ideas easier to understand. Many have told me that mathematics becomes much less intimidating once they recognize its underlying structure. If you want to understand mathematics more deeply, strengthen your reasoning, and solve problems with greater independence and confidence, I would be delighted to work with you.

Approved Subjects

Calculus

Calculus

I have over 30 years of experience teaching Calculus I–III to both Arts & Sciences and Engineering students in diverse academic settings. Throughout my career, I have taught these courses both online and on-site, adapting my instructional approach to meet the needs of students with varying mathematical backgrounds and goals. My expertise includes guiding students through foundational concepts and emphasizes conceptual understanding, structured problem-solving strategies, and real-world applications to ensure long-term mastery and academic success.
Differential Equations

Differential Equations

I have been teaching Differential Equations for over 30 years to students in Arts & Sciences as well as Engineering programs, both in traditional classroom settings and online formats. My experience includes working with students of diverse mathematical backgrounds, helping them build strong conceptual understanding alongside technical problem-solving skills. This semester, I am teaching two sections of the course, and many of the students previously completed Calculus with me, which allows for continuity in rigor, expectations, and instructional style. My approach emphasizes analytical methods, modeling applications, and clear connections between theory and real-world problems, ensuring students develop both confidence and mathematical maturity.
Discrete Math

Discrete Math

I have over 30 years of experience teaching Probability/Finite Mathematics/ Discrete Mathematics/Graph Theory at the university level, both in person and online, primarily to engineering students. My doctoral background is in Probability and Applied Mathematics, and I have supervised Master’s thesis work in probability and graph theory related topics. I also have a book about Discrete Mathematics (in Turkish). I focus on making Discrete Mathematics clear, intuitive, and practical — helping students connect formulas to real-world applications. Whether you are preparing for exams or working on advanced coursework, I help you build both understanding and confidence.
Linear Algebra

Linear Algebra

I have over 30 years of experience teaching Linear Algebra and Numerical Linear Algebra to both Arts & Sciences and Engineering students in diverse academic settings. Throughout my career, I have taught these courses both online and on-site, adapting my instructional approach to meet the needs of students with varying mathematical backgrounds and goals. My expertise includes guiding students through foundational concepts and emphasizes conceptual understanding, structured problem-solving strategies, and real-world applications to ensure long-term mastery and academic success.
Probability

Probability

I have over 30 years of experience teaching Probability at the university level, both in person and online, primarily to engineering students. My doctoral background is in Probability and Applied Mathematics, and I have supervised Master’s thesis work in probability-related topics. I focus on making probability clear, intuitive, and practical — helping students connect formulas to real-world applications. Whether you are preparing for exams or working on advanced coursework, I help you build both understanding and confidence.
