About Yvan

Bio

I've been helping students succeed in math since 2010.
I started tutoring in high school and very quickly fell in love with teaching.
I love seeing the excitement build in my students as they not only begin to understand, but also enjoy a subject that they used to dislike. I love witnessing that "Aha!" moment when a student comprehends something that previously made no sense to them for weeks or months (or sometimes even years).

It did not take long for me to decide to pursue a college...

I've been helping students succeed in math since 2010.
I started tutoring in high school and very quickly fell in love with teaching.
I love seeing the excitement build in my students as they not only begin to understand, but also enjoy a subject that they used to dislike. I love witnessing that "Aha!" moment when a student comprehends something that previously made no sense to them for weeks or months (or sometimes even years).

It did not take long for me to decide to pursue a college degree in Math Education.
Unfortunately, by the end of my degree, I realized that teaching in the classroom wasn't for me. I didn't realize how much time I would spend doing tasks that didn't involve actually teaching! (grading papers, meetings, classroom management, etc.)
I much prefer tutoring, where I can spend more of my time actually doing what I love.
So I decided to become a full-time tutor. That's good news for you, because that makes me one of the most flexible tutors you'll find--
I can accommodate your busy schedule.

My students really appreciate that, and they have nothing but the best things to say about me and my teaching style.

So how about it; will you decide to give me a try?

Great 1st lesson!

Yvan worked with my son on calculus. They’re going to be seeing each other regularly and I’m grateful to have found someone so passionate about math and teaching! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Michelle, 5 lessons with Yvan

just what I needed

He was great walking me through my lesson as someone that has NO experience in Python. He explained things in a way that made it very easy for me to understand and catch on. 👍👍

Tanesha, 1 lesson with Yvan

I'd be failing stats without him!

Yvan is amazing. He is so knowledgeable, patient, flexible, and has a great energy to top it all off. With his help, I scored 100% on homework assignments and scored in the 90th percentile on my stats exam. I don't recall ever getting a top score on any stats assignment. I highly recommend Yvan.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.

Yvan is helping me with my statistics class because I was struggling. He is awesome, knows the subject, is patient, and I feel more confident after only one session. I will continue working with him during the whole semester.
