About
I am a Harvard Graduate with a BA in Mathematics and PhD in Applied Physics. I have over 2500 hours of tutoring experience across various High School and College math subjects: Math SAT, Math ACT Prealgebra, Algebra, • Integrated Math 1, 2, 3 • Precalculus, Calculus •Multivariable Calculus IB HL, international Diploma • Linear Algebra, Differential Equations I am a patient teacher and love to help students feel more confident and at ease with math. I take joy in finding creative ways of explaining mathematical concepts and I live for those Aha Moments - which is when the student understands the concept. I have a strong passion to be the best tutor I can be and I am very invested in the success of my students. I always say that my job as a tutor is to work myself out of a job! If you don't need me anymore, I have done my job.

I was blessed and fortunate enough to find Larissa. She clearly states and shows exactly how to solve each problem. She has an amazing ability of breaking down each part and distinctly explaining the problem from start to end. She is very insightful, clever, understanding, resourceful, and organized. All of these traits make her an amazing choice for a brilliant tutor! Not to mention her impressive background as a Harvard graduate. Larissa is very perceptive and knows exactly what the student needs to focus on. I’ve been tutored by larissa for 1.5 years across various platforms and have seen significant improvement in my math skills. I now have the ability to conquer any hard math problem that comes my way, all thanks to her. I was lucky enough to find Larissa. Without her help, I would still be at square one, confused, and concerned about math. To my surprise, I now even enjoy math! Larissa is the perfect choice for a tutor!

Larissa has a remarkable ability to break down complex concepts into manageable, clear explanations, making even the most abstract topics understandable. Not only is Larissa a subject-matter expert, but she is also incredibly patient and encouraging, creating a supportive learning environment for a variety of both simple and complex math topics. I highly recommend Larissa to anyone seeking an outstanding tutor for advanced mathematics.

Absolutely a stupendous tutor that has aided me in getting 3 A's in graduate-level math courses. Exceptionally knowledgeable, but won't hesitate to share if she's less familiar with a subject (but often had the right instincts anyway). Additionally, Larissa is kind and understanding, but maintains an efficiency and an ability to cultivate (or spark, depending on one's position in their own journey) a joy of learning.

    Terrific tutor We were incredibly fortunate to find Larissa after trying several other tutors for my high school daughter and her friend, who were taking multivariate calculus at our local university. Larissa has a remarkable ability to break down complex concepts into manageable, clear explanations, making even the most abstract topics understandable. Not only is Larissa a subject-matter expert, but she is also incredibly patient and encouraging, creating a supportive learning environment where my daughter and her friend felt comfortable asking questions and tackling difficult problems. Thanks to Larissa, both girls genuinely mastered the material and they performed exceptionally well in the course. I highly recommend Larissa to anyone seeking an outstanding tutor for advanced mathematics.
