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.
