About your tutor
Hi! I'm Karinna, a recent graduate of Amherst College with a Bachelor's in Mathematics. I'm currently taking a gap year before beginning my Master's in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Dartmouth, and I'm passionate about helping students discover the beauty and logic of mathematics at every level. My tutoring experience spans all age groups and mathematical topics, from elementary arithmetic to college-level abstract algebra. Over the past year, I've been teaching through multiple online platforms and serving as a peer tutor at Amherst College. What sets me apart is my ability to connect abstract mathematical concepts to real-world applications. Through my research at NYU's Music and Audio Research Laboratory involving machine learning and statistical methods, and my civil engineering internship applying mathematical modeling to infrastructure problems, I've seen firsthand how mathematics serves as the foundation for solving complex problems. I bring this perspective to my tutoring, helping students understand not just how to solve problems, but why these mathematical tools are powerful and relevant. My teaching philosophy centers on building confidence through understanding rather than memorization. Whether you're struggling with basic algebra, preparing for calculus, or tackling advanced topics, I create a supportive learning environment where questions are encouraged and mistakes are valuable learning opportunities. My schedule is flexible, and I'm committed to helping each student achieve their mathematical goals while developing critical thinking skills that will serve them throughout their academic careers.

Class overview
My teaching methodology is built on the principle that true mathematical understanding comes from connecting new concepts to a student's existing knowledge base. I begin each session by assessing where the student currently stands, then build bridges between what they already know and what they need to learn. Rather than relying on rote memorization, I guide students to discover patterns and relationships within mathematical concepts, encouraging them to ask "why" rather than just "how." I adapt my explanations to each student's learning style, using visual aids for visual learners, real-world examples for practical thinkers, and step-by-step breakdowns for analytical minds. Throughout our sessions, I create a safe space where mistakes are reframed as learning opportunities, fostering confidence and curiosity. My goal is not just to help students solve immediate problems, but to develop their mathematical reasoning skills and instill a deeper appreciation for the elegance and utility of mathematics that will serve them long after our tutoring sessions end.
