Think deeply about simple things.
—Arnold Ross
My name is Aaron Kriegman, and I am the world's best math tutor. Obviously I
am exaggerating when I say this, but I am exaggerating less than you'd think.
I graduated from Cambridge University with a Master's and Bachelor's of mathematics, and entered the Math PhD program at UCLA. In highschool I competed twice in the USA Math Olympiad, and I came in the top 10 on the Cambridge Maths entrance exam (STEP). Where I stand out from my peers however is in my pedagogy, theory of mind, and clarity of thought. This combination is what makes me a uniquely good tutor.
See my personal website aaah.run for my other work.
I was struggling to care about my linear algebra class. It seemed like a bunch of abstract nonsense that had nothing to do with the real world. I told Aaron this, and he showed me how I could use math to make a prediction, and then immediately test that prediction with random objects around me, and watch it come true. He changed the way I see math.

Thank you so much Aaron!
I took your advice and went through the sections and read to understand the derivations for the equations and I am feeling a lot better about it now.
Thank you again,
