Math tutor specializing in Algebra and Calculus

Kaavya Y.

My passion for mathematics is rooted in a strong academic foundation and a proven history of guiding students through complex concepts. I am currently pursuing a dual degree in Computer Science Honors (Turing Scholars) and Mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin. My academic background includes advanced coursework in Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra, Vector Calculus, and Discrete Math, building directly upon top marks in AP Calculus BC. This deep understanding of advanced mathematics allows me to break down complex algebraic and calculus principles into intuitive, digestible pieces, ensuring students grasp both the fundamental mechanics and the logic required to excel. My teaching experience spans several years and covers diverse age groups, ranging from middle schoolers to high school peers, across both one-on-one and classroom settings. I served as a Data Science Teaching Assistant for the Kode With Klossy summer coding camps for two years and co-founded the global non-profit AI4Girls, where I designed curricula and taught technical concepts to over 200 students. Additionally, as a former high school club president and debate team captain, I have extensive experience mentoring and coaching novice students to help them build confidence and mastery over challenging material. My instructional approach emphasizes conceptual clarity and interactive problem-solving over rote memorization. Whether working with a student struggling with foundational algebra or someone tackling advanced calculus, I adapt my pacing to the individual's needs. By connecting abstract mathematical variables to practical, real-world applications, I help students overcome math anxiety, build strong critical thinking skills, and achieve their academic goals.
