Entela

Entela is a dedicated tutor with a strong commitment to helping students achieve their academic success. With 10+ years of experience in tutoring, Entela has worked with students from 5th grade to college levels. Having completed a bachelor’s in mathematics and a Master of Science in Education, Entela possesses a solid foundation in subjects of tutoring, including Arithmetics, Algebra I & II, Trigonometry, Pre-Calc, Calculus, and more. She is from Chester and speaks Albanian and Greek fluently. Outside work, Entela enjoys traveling and swimming. Her favorite number is “magic” 9 because if you multiply a number by 9 and add all the digits of the new number together, the sum will always add up to 9. 9 X 2 = 18, 1+8 = 9 9 X 3 = 27, 2 + 7 = 9 … Her favorite math joke is: Where do Math teachers go on vacation? To the time square. With a proven track record of success, Entela is excited to bring her expertise and commitment to making a difference and helping students achieve their success. Engaging young students in mathematics involves providing them with supportive mentors and showcasing inspiring role models in the field. By connecting with successful mathematicians and educators, young students can visualize their own potential and feel encouraged to pursue their mathematical passions. Her favorite quote is: “Mathematics reveals its secrets to those who approach it with pure love, for its own beauty.” By Archimedes
