Yehuda - Know your tutor
I'm Yehuda, a tutor with over two years of experience helping students at the High school and college level. With my expertise in computer science, I bring a systematic approach to teaching, ensuring that my students grasp the core concepts before focusing on tackling problem sets. I am well versed in functions, trigonometry, calculus and linear algebra. I employ teaching materials that focus on visual understanding of mathematical ideas, allowing students to engage with the material in a more tangible manner than traditional approaches. Over the course of my tutoring career, I have helped students who were struggling improve their grades and prepare for upcoming examinations. I can help a wide age range of students, from middle school all the way up to first and second year university students. I can also help students who are in computer science or computer engineering courses.

Class overview
My approach to tutoring high school and early college math centers on helping students genuinely understand what they are doing. I place a strong emphasis on visual understanding, since many students struggle when ideas feel abstract or disconnected. Using whiteboarding, we work through problems step by step, laying out each part of the reasoning clearly and building solutions from the ground up. This makes it easier to see how concepts fit together and why each step works. I focus on conceptual understanding before repetition or speed. When students understand why a method works, the mechanics tend to follow more naturally and with greater confidence. I encourage students to talk through their thinking, ask questions, and treat mistakes as part of the learning process. This builds independence and deeper mathematical intuition, allowing students to apply what they’ve learned to new problems, exams, and future courses rather than relying on memorized patterns.

Mathematics concepts taught by Yehuda
The session covered integral calculus, focusing on finding areas, understanding integrals in physics (distance, speed, acceleration), and manipulating definite integrals. The Student practiced problems involving graphical, functional, and tabular data. The Student was assigned to review a YouTube series on calculus concepts.
Displacement vs. Total Distance Traveled
Finding the area enclosed by two curves
Integrating Trigonometric Functions
Integrals of Derivatives
Properties of Integrals
Relationship Between Distance
Speed
and Acceleration
The session covered linear transformations, specifically reflections and projections, in the context of R2. The student worked through problems involving change of basis and finding transformation matrices. The homework for the student is to prepare for a quiz by reviewing the topics discussed.
Kernel of the Projection Transformation
Projection onto a Line
Finding Q⁻¹
Transformation Matrix in Alternate Basis
Alternate Basis for R²
Reflection Transformation
Change of Basis: Q and Q⁻¹
The student and tutor reviewed proofs related to linear transformations and bases, and then worked through exercises on finding transformation matrices with respect to non-standard bases. They also discussed the geometric interpretation of determinants, including their relationship to area scaling and invertibility. The session covered concepts related to linear algebra and transformations.
Change of Basis for Linear Transformations
Left Multiplication and Linear Transformations
Determinants: Geometric Interpretation
Reflection Across a Line Through the Origin
The Tutor and Student reviewed mathematical concepts related to summations and proofs. They practiced interpreting summation notation and solving a problem involving simplifying a summation expression. The bulk of the session was dedicated to proving properties of divisibility for integers, including transitivity and the relationship between divisibility and magnitude, and the condition for mutual divisibility implying equality.
Summation Notation Simplification
Formal Definition of Divisibility
Transitive Property of Divisibility
Divisibility and Magnitude
Equivalence Relation: Divisibility and Equality
The student and tutor worked through various proof techniques in mathematics, including direct proofs for universal and existential statements, proof by cases, and working with definitions of even and odd integers. They practiced translating logical statements into English and constructing proofs for exercises from their coursework, with plans to continue their sessions focusing on these topics.
Direct Proof Structure
Quantifiers and Their English Equivalents
Proof by Cases
Integers: Even and Odd Definitions
The Student and Tutor reviewed concepts of linear independence of transformations and properties of invertible transformations. They worked through a proof of linear independence and discussed the definitions of injectivity, surjectivity, and invertibility. The next session will involve further practice with transformations and their inverses, potentially including matrix inversions.
Linear Independence of Transformations
Coordinate Vectors and Basis Transformations
Invertibility and Isomorphisms
