Hello! My name is Ziva and I love learning and teaching math! In college, I studied physics and mathematics. Along the way, I developed a love of pure mathematics, so I decided to go to graduate school. I earned a PhD in Mathematics (topology/geometry) in 2017 and taught math at Duke University and Bryn Mawr College for six years after my degree. My favorite part of being a professor was getting to work with students one-on-one and in small groups in my office because it's a lot like...

Super helpful and articulate
Ziva is great! My daughter has gotten help with algebra ii and precalculus from her. She’s terrific and my daughter has improved her math score because of her.

Last minute exam help
I reached out to Ziva for last minute help for my college sophomore daughter preparing for a differential equation exam. Ziva was quick to respond and flexible. My daughter said she was very comfortable talking to Ziva and she felt much better prepared for her exam after one session!

My daughter needed help with Algebra 2. Ziva was terrific at explaining and then helping her solve problems on her own. Definitely will reach out to her again.

Ziva is the best- super patient with explainations and gives a bunch of different ways to approach one aspect. She also always makes sure we’re using the proper method in which to tutor with- I.e. “do you prefer it explained in a different way? Or would you rather work with examples?” Basically always making sure she’s tutoring me in a way that I respond best. I really appreciate that and it keeps me coming back!

Knowledgeable and patient.
Was willing to show the different ways to solve one problem. Was willing to spend as much time needed to solve just one problem. Was willing to work through tough problems and not give up and was willing to look at and work on material I gave prior to the tutoring session.
