About Elliot

Bio

Hi there! My name's Elliot. I have a BA (summa cum laude, 2022) and an MS (2024) in mathematics, both from CUNY. I completed additional graduate coursework abroad. Currently, I'm tutoring (and teaching college part-time) while I apply for PhDs. I received merit-based funding for my graduate studies, and did independent research in math and bioinformatics.

I started tutoring in college. I helped other students one-on-one with precalculus, calculus, and statistics. The stats course I tutored...

Hi there! My name's Elliot. I have a BA (summa cum laude, 2022) and an MS (2024) in mathematics, both from CUNY. I completed additional graduate coursework abroad. Currently, I'm tutoring (and teaching college part-time) while I apply for PhDs. I received merit-based funding for my graduate studies, and did independent research in math and bioinformatics.

I started tutoring in college. I helped other students one-on-one with precalculus, calculus, and statistics. The stats course I tutored for involved using R; additionally, I was a research assistant for two summers doing climate data analysis in R. I have also tutored at a high school, in a classroom setting. Finally, I worked at a college tutoring center during my master's for one semester, helping students with homework for math and statistics courses through linear algebra.

I have also taught at the college level. In NYC, I taught (and am teaching!) college algebra & calculus. Abroad, I was a TA for 3rd-year abstract algebra. I also did what were called supervisions, where I met small groups of 1st-year students weekly to discuss what they were learning in their real analysis and probability courses. All of these experiences teaching involved writing/marking exams.

I'm able to tutor the full range of high school math, and also most college math courses (including proof-based courses like abstract algebra, analysis, and topology). My biggest focuses when working individually with students are to build confidence and to continually reaffirm basics. Its difficult to do well in a math class when youe second-guessing yourself; it's equally difficult to, say, succeed at calculus when you struggle with algebra. When a student of mine is having trouble with a concept/problem, I ask questions until I get to the root of the misunderstanding. I also like to work through lots of examples. One of my biggest strengths as a tutor is the fact that I've studied at the graduate level, and have done research, so I understand lower-level math very deeply!

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I've taught college algebra 3 times. I've also worked in a college tutoring center at which students sought help for algebra-related material. At the high school level, I worked in both algebra 1 and algebra 2 classrooms, and worked to support students one-on-one.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I've taught college algebra 3 times. I've also worked in a college tutoring center at which students sought help for algebra-related material. At the high school level, I worked in both algebra 1 and algebra 2 classrooms, and worked to support students one-on-one.
Calculus

Calculus

I have taught calculus courses twice, and was a TA for real analysis (essentially calculus with proofs). I've worked with calculus students one-on-one both as a peer tutor and in a college tutoring center during graduate school. Some, but not all, of the topics I can help with are limits, derivatives, integration, implicit differentiation, optimization, related rates, surfaces of revolution, indefinite integrals, sequences and series, and multivariable calculus.
Finite Math

Finite Math

I took, and excelled in, a discrete math course in undergrad. I worked at a college tutoring center at which many students sought help with discrete math. I also was a TA for an undergraduate discrete math course. Some (but not all) of the topics I can help with are methods of proof, recurrence relations, truth tables and logic, set theory, and combinatorics.
Linear Algebra

Linear Algebra

I took, and excelled at, linear algebra in undergrad. During graduate school, I worked at a college tutoring center at which many students sought help for linear algebra. I can help with solving systems of linear equations, matrix multiplication, finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors, diagonalization, basis/change of basis and dimension, etc.
Probability

Probability

I took undergraduate and graduate probability courses. While working at a college tutoring center, I worked one-on-one with several students needing help with elementary probability and statistics. Some of the topics I can help with are combinatorics, random variables, probability mass/density functions, normal and t-distributions, and major probability theorems (the law of large numbers, the central limit theorem, etc.)
Real Analysis

Real Analysis

I took both undergraduate- and graduate-level real analysis while completing my education. Later, I was a TA for undergrad real analysis. I have also done research that leaned heavily on core analytical concepts.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I taught college algebra 3 times, which covers material pertaining to the algebra, advanced math, and trigonometry sections of the SAT. I tutored related subjects as a peer tutor in undergrad and at a college tutoring center while I was in grad school. This latter experience included work preparing students for standardized departmental final exams.
