Hi, my name is Despina! I absolutely love learning Math and am passionate to inspire others to learn to love Math as well! I graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and a minor in Italian. I have obtained a Master of Science in Statistics with a concentration in Data Science. I have tutored several students in various Mathematics courses and was able to improve their overall averages while allowing them to understand the deeper mathematical meaning and introduce them to new theories. I have been tutoring students since 2017.

I have experience as a Mathematics Tutor to middle school, high school, and college students for Algebra, Geometry, Algebra II/Trigonometry, Precalculus, Calculus, and Statistics. I helped the students successfully pass their course exams, NY State Regents exams, and AP exams. I was also a College Assistant through the City University of New York and the Department of Education.

I am a native speaker of the Modern Greek Language and have tutored elementary school students in grammar, math, and history. I have achieved Excellence on the Greek Proficiency Exam (Ellinomatheia Certification) authorized by the Ministry of Education, Research, and Religious Affairs from the Centre for the Greek Language in Thessaloniki for Levels A2, B1, and B2.

Please feel free to contact me to schedule a tutoring session for all Mathematics courses, as well as for Greek! My schedule for online tutoring is very flexible and based on the Eastern Time Zone.

My cancellation policy requires a 5-hour notice, or I will charge you for the session.

Phenomenal Tutor

Ms. Despina has helped my daughter who was struggling with Algebra 2 completely understand the unit topics. She is on task, gives great examples and interacts in a way that makes the lesson easy. My daughter was impressed with how well she was able to understand the lesson after one class with Ms. Despina. I decided to also have her tutor my son, Lucas, who had never had a tutor before and has always been a straight A student. He is used to score 100 on his tests. But, lately he had some difficulty with Algebra 1-Quadratic functions. He was nervous because he had gotten an F on his first quiz. After just a couple of classes with Ms. Despina, he went back to an A on his test. Amazing results. Patient, educated, very resourceful. I could go on and on. She is a gem.

Organized and Simplified the lesson

She is great with our 9th grader who is struggling in Geometry. She provided great notes of their lesson that were printed and used to help her study for her next exam.

Very patient and knowledgeable

My daughter loved working with Ms. Despina. She said she explains things in an easy way and talks to her like she’s a fourth grader not a baby. She was very patient and taught her different ways to answer questions. Her tone grasp your child’s attention. I would choose her again.
