Hello! Having taught and tutored math for over 13 years, I have experience working with a range of students on various subjects including Algebra, Geometry, and SAT/ACT math prep.

Aside from teaching content, I aim to understand what kind of learners my students are, as well as what their interests and goals are. In this way, not only will their grades improve, but we can also build on critical math skills, prepare for college admissions exams, and enhance their motivation to learn/problem-solve and reach their full math potential!

After receiving a Master's in Biomedical Engineering at Columbia University, I decided to follow my passion of teaching math and became a NYC Teaching Fellow. I received my Masters at RELAY Graduate School of Education and was a member of the highly competitive Math for America Fellowship Program for 8 years, all while teaching full-time at one of the largest public high schools in NYC.

Approved Subjects

ACT Math

ACT Math

I have tutored SAT/ACT test prep for 5+ years.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have taught Algebra 1 at one of the largest public high schools in NYC as well as tutored Algebra both in-person and virtually for 10+ years. I have taught Common Core Algebra classes which concluded in the NYS Regents Exam and tutored students one-on-one to not only improve their grades, but to also boost math confidence. We work through my lessons with engaging real-world examples, all modified for the level of difficulty each student is comfortable with. We also work on study/test-taking skills, organizing/showing work and time management, all of which will be extremely beneficial for advanced math classes & standardized test prep in the future.
Common Core

Common Core

I have taught Common Core Algebra and Geometry classes which concluded in the NYS Regents Exam for over 10 years. I have also tutored individual students to not only improve their grades, but to also boost math confidence. We work through my lessons with engaging real-world examples, all modified for the level of difficulty each student is comfortable with. We also work on study/test-taking skills, organizing/showing work and time management, all of which will be extremely beneficial for advanced math classes & standardized test prep in the future.
Geometry

Geometry

I have taught Geometry at one of the largest public high schools in NYC as well as tutored Geometry both in-person and virtually for 10+ years. I have taught Common Core Geometry classes which concluded in the NYS Regents Exam and tutored students one-on-one to not only improve their grades, but to also boost math confidence.

Regents

Regents

I have taught Common Core Algebra and Geometry classes which concluded in the NYS Regents Exam for over 10 years. I have also tutored individual students to prepare them for both Regents Exams with 100% passing rates. My approach is to complete a recent Regents Exam in order to assess the student's strengths as well as the topics which we need to focus/improve on. Then we work together on similar problems, building student confidence until they are able to try and succeed with challenging problems more independently.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I have taught College Aptitude Math (SAT math) electives at one of the largest public high schools in NYC as well as tutored SAT prep both in-person and virtually for 10+ years. I have tutored students one-on-one to not only improve their scores, but to also boost math confidence. We work through my lessons with engaging real-world examples, all modified for the level of difficulty each student is comfortable with. We also work on study/test-taking skills, math strategies including plug-in and backsolve, organizing/showing work and time management, all of which will be extremely beneficial for advanced math classes in the future. I have worked with a diverse range of learners, e.g. students who struggled with time management or remembering formulas/theorems; after taking several practice tests and reviewing them together, we were able to pinpoint where they can save a lot of time with quick tricks and shortcuts such as using the Desmos online calculator. This resulted in each students' SAT score improving by a few hundred points!

Great SAT Math tutor!

Kamila did a great job preparing my son for the SAT Math. She tailored the prep sessions to what he needed to focus on and provided tips for both the more challenging problems as well as suggestions for answering questions more quickly.

Bill, 10 lessons with Kamila

wonderful tutor!

Kamila has helped raise my child's geometry overall grade and test scores and increase her confidence. My child who does not like math does look forward to her tutoring sessions and says that Kamila is awesome.

Patient

My granddaughter, Ava, was very happy with Kamila’s teaching style and my granddaughter doesn’t like anyone! She’s looking forward to next session. She has given extra help because she say my granddaughter needed it. She was one time & seems very nice.

Carmen, 4 lessons with Kamila

Understandable explanations

Kamila was very responsive to her messages and was able to fit my daughter in at the last minute. My daughter felt Kamila gave great explanations/methods and was able to really understand the math she reviewed with Kamila.

Jean, 2 lessons with Kamila

Lifesaver!!! Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

So thankful we found Kamila on Wyzant, she was incredibly knowledgeable and understanding. I am a Junior at Monmouth University, who was struggling with a class called Math Model Science which is very similar to algebra and statistics. She worked so hard with me that I was able to receive a 94 on my final exam. She not only explained the subject matter clearly, but also gave step-by-step procedural methods to answer the problems. I would highly recommend Kamila! I am planning to use her again in the Fall of 2024.

Kelly, 7 lessons with Kamila

Knowledgeable and encouraging

The most important thing about Kamila was not only her knowledge and experience in preparing for the SAT exam, but her kindness, respect, and encouragement that allowed my son to thrive and succeed. Kamila was wonderful and very professional in communicating with me, which me feel and believe that she genuinely cared about my son’s success and wellbeing. I highly recommend Kamila and she will be the one that I will contact when my son needs tutoring in the future

Right away Kamila established a great rapport with my daughter while building her confidence to try new SAT Math concepts. We were very blessed to have found Kamila at the right time and highly recommend her to other parents seeking a very skilled and experienced tutor.
