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!
