About Eugene


Bio

My specialty lies in tutoring mathematics in several areas such as calculus, abstract/linear algebra, differential equations, real/complex analysis, algebraic and differential topology/geometry. I also give lessons for physics and engineering courses, e.g., statics, electrodynamics, general relativity, quantum and statistical mechanics, particle physics and cosmology, fluid dynamics and continuum mechanics. In my experience, I've found that students learn the physical sciences most...

My specialty lies in tutoring mathematics in several areas such as calculus, abstract/linear algebra, differential equations, real/complex analysis, algebraic and differential topology/geometry. I also give lessons for physics and engineering courses, e.g., statics, electrodynamics, general relativity, quantum and statistical mechanics, particle physics and cosmology, fluid dynamics and continuum mechanics. In my experience, I've found that students learn the physical sciences most efficiently through conceptual-based learning and active engagement in problem solving. Because of this, I will teach you problem solving strategies and help you improve mathematical proficiency through challenging problems. I will also help you build intuition needed to break down difficult concepts.

I give both individual and group sessions. I am usually available in the mornings and afternoons, but I'm flexible with students. My sessions are of two types; one for assigned work (homework, tests, etc.) and one centered on problem solving techniques and methods of proof. I have a 24-hour cancellation policy, but I offer makeup sessions.

I look forward to hearing from you! I'll help you succeed in your studies!

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

In a Collegiate Scholars Program, I taught Algebra to gifted high school students. My approach to teaching Algebra is conceptual. I train my students to make connections between the abstraction of Algebra and real-world applications.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

In a Collegiate Scholars Program, I taught Algebra to gifted high school students. My approach to teaching Algebra is conceptual. I train my students to make connections between the abstraction of Algebra and real-world applications.
Calculus

Calculus

Having a degree in mathematics, calculus was used throughout my education. In fact, calculus is a tool I use on a day-to-day basis. I've been tutoring the subject for over 10 years.
Differential Equations

Differential Equations

My area of research lies in the field of nonlinear partial differential equations. I have given a guest lecture on this course, where the focus was on Laplace transforms, convolution, and integro-differential equations. With my extensive knowledge of the subject, I believe I am qualified to tutor differential equations.
Discrete Math

Discrete Math

Having earned a master's degree in mathematics, I have the knowledge and experience necessary to teach discrete math. I have taken courses in logic, number theory, probability and statistics, and linear algebra; all these courses are a part of discrete math.
Finite Math

Finite Math

Having received a master's degree in mathematics, I have the knowledge required to tutor finite math. Notably, I've taken courses in probability and statistics and linear algebra, both of which are a part of finite math. I have over five years experience teaching the subject to college students, using both conceptual and analytic approaches.
Geometry

Geometry

B.S., Benedictine University M.S., University of Chicago
Linear Algebra

Linear Algebra

I have done graduate level work in linear algebra, which helps me see the subject from a broader perspective than someone who has only been exposed to undergraduate linear algebra. I have also tutored linear algebra using conceptual and problem-oriented approaches. In addition, I use linear algebra methods regularly.
Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering

As an undergraduate, I conducted research in geophysical fluid dynamics at PSU. I have experience working with students on engineering statics and dynamics. I have also taught linear circuit analysis to many math, science, and engineering majors.
Physics

Physics

I studied mathematical physics from the University of Chicago. Particularly, I worked on nonlinear dispersive equations. Techniques from geometric and harmonic analysis are used to understand local and global behavior of solutions in different spaces.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I have a B.S., Benedictine University, and M.S., University of Chicago.
Real Analysis

Real Analysis

I have taken graduate level courses in real, complex and harmonic analysis. I have tutored teachers, undergraduates and graduate students in real analysis and measure theory. In practice, I use methods of harmonic analysis in algebraic topology, especially homotopy theory.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

Having a degree in mathematics, trigonometry was used throughout my education. I've been tutoring trigonometry for over 10 years. I use a conceptual approach, which help students understand periodicity, trigonometric graphs, trig identities, and much more.

More than a Sum of Parts, hah!

Eugene guided me through one of the more difficult classes I have taken in undergrad, Systems of Differential Equations. Specifically, he helped confirm my understanding of Discrete Dynamical Systems. He was quick to schedule times to meet, with barely even moments notice. He was patient and encouraging. His knowledge and understanding was inspiring. Eugene was more than the best tutor I have had. Eugene showed me immense compassion and gave me sage advice. Finishing up a degree is daunting, and Eugene gave me confidence that I'll be alright.

Very Chill and Knowledgeable Tutor

He is very welcoming and seriously knows his stuff. Believe me, the subject matter I'm on is anything but easy, but Eugene certainly knows his way around it, and does an excellent job explaining his process as well.

Patient and clear tutor

Eugene helped me with my graduate homological algebra class. It was not an easy subject but Eugene explained the definitions and concepts pretty well. Every time I did not understand some details on the proofs from the book or the steps on the exercises, he would explained them patiently and clearly. I will highly recommend him if you need help on your advanced math classes.

Zane, 30 lessons with Eugene

Patient and Takes Time to Explain

He made sure I worked through all the problems I had problems with. Was patient and understanding with it. He helped me with not just the arithmetic of the problems, but also the logic portions of the problems too.

Sreeha, 5 lessons with Eugene

Knowledgeable and helpful

Eugene has been a great help with my physics and discrete math. He is very knowledgeable and makes everything simple and easy to understand. He has helped me the understanding I need for my classes.

James, 10 lessons with Eugene

Knowledgable across multiple math subjects

Eugene was so helpful in my multiple different math classes. I first reached out for my math class in number theory. I was really struggling with understanding the material, and he was very patient and helped me work through both the material and homeworks, which improved my performance on my tests dramatically. I was also in a probability class at the same time and he had no trouble switching over and helping me with that class as well. He is always very patient and makes sure to explain thoroughly, mentioning details my professors will miss. He is also always willing to re explain something if it doesn't click the first time. I am now in another math class and am continuing my work with Eugene.

Eugene is a highly qualified all star

Eugene helped me understand the fundamentals of complex numbers for my analysis assignment. I couldn't be more grateful to Eugene for his tremendous help on such short notice. I highly recommend for all levels of mathematics.

Marco, 88 lessons with Eugene

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Eugene did a wonderful job helping me with my linear algebra practice set. He explained concepts that I didn’t understand very well. Our time was also efficient - I felt like every minute was valuable to my learning. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for help - especially in linear algebra!!

Knowledgeable tutor for colllege level math

Eugene was terrific on a complex math topic typically taken by college students in their sophomore or junior year. He communicated very well and quickly. His availability on the weekend was extremely helpful to us since the weekday schedule doesn't have much room. We plan to use his services again in future.
