About the tutor

Experienced math instructor focused on one-on-one tutoring.

Parents and students often want someone who knows the exact courses and expectations at the University of Missouri.

Pyam Oveys
Head tutor, Mizzou Math Tutor

I entered Mizzou in 2018 with more than sixty credit hours from AP and university courses taken in high school. I finished my B.S. in Mathematics in two years, and completed my M.S. in Mathematics in 2022. During that time I taught my own Mizzou math courses as the instructor of record, designing lectures, assignments, and exams for full classes.

I’ve tutored students across the entire undergraduate math sequence for many years, from College Algebra through Differential Equations. Some students meet weekly, others schedule sessions around major tests, and many do a mix of both. Sessions are at least one hour and focus on the exact material and problem formats used in your class.

My approach is simple: clarify where confusion begins, walk through clean examples, and then practice the same types of problems you’ll face on graded work. Each session is built directly from your class material so our time is focused and results build quickly.

How sessions work

One-hour sessions focused on your current math course.

Sessions are at least one hour and can run a bit longer when the week is difficult and time allows. Some students meet weekly, others schedule around exams, and some do both.

1
Start with your course and goals

We look at your syllabus, recent homework, and upcoming quizzes or exams. This sets the plan for whether we focus on homework support, exam preparation, getting ahead, or a deeper review.

2
Work problems together

I first walk through clear examples, then you work similar problems with guidance. The goal is that you can handle the same types of questions on your own when they show up on graded work.

3
Leave with a custom PDF review

Notes and worked problems from each session are saved as a PDF so you can review later without trying to reconstruct what happened in the meeting.

Sessions are usually in-person on the University of Missouri campus in Columbia. Online meetings can be arranged when it is the better option for a particular week.
Testimonials

What students say about Mizzou math tutoring.

Comments below reflect the type of feedback I regularly hear from students after working together in core Mizzou math courses.

Algebra had always been a weak spot, but after a few steady weeks my quiz scores went from barely passing to solid As and Bs. The step-by-step approach helped a lot.

He knew exactly how my professor wrote exam questions and we practiced those formats. I felt prepared instead of guessing what might show up.

Multivariable felt impossible at first, but breaking the problems into smaller pieces made a big difference. By the final, I was comfortable with the main ideas instead of just memorizing steps.

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

If something is not covered, you can always ask in your message.

Who do you tutor?

I mainly work with college students who are currently enrolled in math courses at the University of Missouri or similar universities in the Mid-Missouri area. I tutor only college-level math courses, beginning with Quantitative Reasoning and above.

Are sessions in-person or online?

Most tutoring is in-person on the Mizzou campus in Columbia, Missouri. When needed, online meetings can be arranged, especially during busy exam weeks or scheduling conflicts.

How long is a session?

Standard sessions are one hour. Some students schedule back-to-back hours, and sessions sometimes run a little longer when the week is heavy and time allows.

What should students bring?

A laptop, something to write with, and a notebook or paper for working through problems. Any worksheets, review sheets, or practice exams from class are also helpful.

How often do students meet?

Some students meet each week for steady support, others schedule sessions around quizzes and exams, and some do both depending on the semester.
