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.

Great tutor for my HS daughter! We needed somebody who could help with both math and physics, and Larissa did great job on both. I highly recommend her !

I've done one session with her so far and it really helped to further understand the concepts I was struggling with. She explains concept based on what you need individually, which was really nice. Do plan to schedule more in the future.

Larissa has been a huge help to my middle schooler, who needed some extra help with honors math. Larissa is patient and explains concepts in ways that click with my child. We really appreciate the online format, which makes sessions easier to schedule.

Larissa had been awesome in helping my daughter prepare for AP precalculus within a relatively short time. She was generous to share the practice questions and increased the confidence of her student before the exam.

Larissa is an excellent tutor. She goes in the depth with a lot of patience, breaking concepts down for the students to understand it easily. Also super impressed by her command of knowledge in complex subjects like multi variable calculus which my kid needed help in. Highly recommended.

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.
