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 student and tutor worked through calculus problems focused on finding local and absolute extrema and inflection points for the function $f(x) = 3x^2 e^x$. They practiced using the first and second derivative tests and applied these concepts to an interval. The session concluded by beginning to set up an optimization word problem involving pricing strategy.
Finding Local Extrema
Second Derivative Test
Absolute Extrema on a Closed Interval
Points of Inflection
Optimization Problems
The Tutor and Student worked on several mathematical concepts, including finding inverse functions, solving absolute value equations, determining the domain and range of functions, and applying the basic rules of exponents. They practiced these concepts through various examples and problem-solving exercises, and planned to review exponent rules further in the next session.
Absolute Value Functions
Exponent Rules
Domain and Range
Inverse Functions
The tutor and student reviewed a student's midterm exam in Linear Algebra, focusing on concepts like eigenvalues, eigenvectors, matrix invertibility, the Cayley-Hamilton theorem, and invariant subspaces. They worked through specific problems to solidify understanding and correct errors. The student aims to improve their grade before the final exam.
Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues
Cayley-Hamilton Theorem
Symmetric and Skew-Symmetric Matrices
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations
The session covered algebraic operations on functions (subtraction, multiplication, division) and introduced the foundational concepts of calculus, specifically the derivative and rate of change. The student practiced finding domains for various functions, including those with square roots and rational expressions, and worked through the algebraic steps of finding the difference quotient.
Operations on Functions: Subtraction and Multiplication
Introduction to Derivatives: Rate of Change
Evaluating Functions with Variable Substitution
Domain of Functions
Trigonometric Reciprocal and Quotient Identities
Pythagorean Identities
Simplification Techniques for Trigonometric Expressions
The tutor and student worked on function operations including division, composition, subtraction, addition, and multiplication. They practiced evaluating these functions and determining their domains, with a focus on simplifying expressions and understanding the conditions under which a function is undefined. The next session is scheduled for Saturday.
