Juniper Bahr, Ph.D.

Hi, I'm June! I completed a Ph.D. in Mathematics at UCLA in 2024, as well as a B.S. and M.S. in Mathematics at Carnegie Mellon in 2017. I've been teaching and tutoring math since 2017.

I tutor remotely and in-person in Los Angeles. Email me at junipertutoring@fastmail.com if you're interested! I use a sliding scale for my rates, so if you're having a rough time financially, please still reach out!

I've worked with all kinds of folks, from middle schoolers to older folks in the middle of a career change. I am competent to tutor just about all math subjects through a typical undergraduate math curriculum, and several graduate level subjects as well.


A little about me!

I'm a trans genderfuck dyke. My pronouns are whatever you find most difficult or need practice with (have fun! and see my explanation if you're confused). I like to knit (mostly socks) and do photography in my free time. I have ADHD and particularly enjoy working with other neurodivergent folks.

Graduate School

My advisor was Dimitri Shlyakhtenko, and my research was in operator algebras, specifically dealing with planar algebras. I also did some work in (non-commutative) optimal transport.

In graduate school I helped organize the Math Queer Tea for LGBTQIA+ (and allied!) math grad students and postdocs at UCLA. If you want to talk about being queer in academia, or just want to chat about gender, please reach out! This offer extends to everyone, not just folks affiliated with a university.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!

Expository

Here I'll post a few course-non-specific documents that may help explain some math concepts for students.
