"Hello! I’m Louis. I can help you understand difficult concepts, provide tips to double-check your work, build self-confidence, develop study skills, catch up on your homework, or prepare for your exams.

I have taught at the university level at the University of Virginia, and at Dickinson College. Prior to teaching, I was a note taker for some of my visually impaired colleagues. I’ve been tutoring formally for about two years now, mostly mathematics. My approach is patient and encouraging, and tailored to your needs.

My background is rather eclectic. I was born in Montréal, Canada, and lived there for the first 25 years of my life. I acquired a bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from École Polytechnique de Montréal while I was living there. Then I moved to the USA. Here, I acquired a master's in South Asia Studies from the University of Pennsylvania, and then a Ph.D. in Religion from the University of Virginia. I’ve also studied for a time in India, and Taiwan." less...
