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 Tutor and Student reviewed concepts related to vector spaces, specifically focusing on identifying and proving subspaces. They then transitioned to discussing linear operators, diagonalizability, and the properties of inner products, using examples and counterexamples to solidify understanding.
Subspace Properties
Determining Subspaces: Intuition vs. Proof
Eigenvectors and Diagonalizability
Inner Product Properties
The Tutor and Student reviewed the concept of graphing linear inequalities. They practiced finding intercepts, determining which side of the boundary line to shade, and distinguishing between strict and inclusive inequalities. The session concluded with an introduction to compound inequalities and analyzing graphs to determine their algebraic representations.
Slope-Intercept Form and Graphing
Compound Inequalities
Dotted vs. Solid Lines in Graphs
Intercepts of a Line
Graphing Linear Inequalities
The Student and Tutor explored reciprocal functions, their graphical properties including asymptotes and invariant points, and how to match equations of the form x*y = k to their graphs. They also began to analyze reciprocal inequalities and their corresponding shaded regions on a graph, with plans to continue reviewing this topic if needed.
Reciprocal Functions
Graphing Reciprocal Equations (x*y=k)
Reciprocal Inequalities
The student and tutor reviewed concepts related to Jordan canonical forms, matrix square roots using diagonalization, and proving linearity of transformations. They also delved into the range of a linear transformation, injectivity, and subspace properties, working through complex problems and proofs related to linear algebra. The next session is scheduled for Tuesday to continue reviewing material.
Linear Independence and Dependence
Linear Transformations and Subspaces
Matrix Square Roots
Jordan Canonical Form
The Tutor and Student worked through calculus problems, focusing on finding intervals of increasing/decreasing and concavity for a rational function. They also solved a calculus optimization problem to maximize profit for a business scenario, determining the optimal price reduction and maximum profit.
Derivatives and Function Behavior
Concavity and the Second Derivative
Asymptotes and Graph Sketching
Optimization: Maximizing Profit
The Student and Tutor reviewed concepts related to matrix diagonalizability and the Jordan canonical form, which is used for non-diagonalizable matrices. They discussed generalized eigenvectors and generalized eigenspaces, and the Student prepared for a quiz on these topics.
