"Learning math requires knowing some basic concepts before trying to solve problems. I can help you with those basic concepts, and I also can teach you some techniques, even tricks, for solving certain kinds of problems.

After that, we can go on to more complex ideas, but only if required.

My undergraduate degree in math from Harvard and my Phd in Math from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. I have taught math for more than ten years at various universities and developed online math teaching materials at the University of Illinois. I have experience working with students at all levels from graduate school to elementary school." less...
