Bio

I’m a professional in the risk management and insurance industry with a degree in Statistics from the University of California, Berkeley, where I also concentrated in pure mathematics. During my time at Berkeley, I worked at the tutoring center and tutored every single math and statistics class we offered.

I’m a professional in the risk management and insurance industry with a degree in Statistics from the University of California, Berkeley, where I also concentrated in pure mathematics. During my time at Berkeley, I worked at the tutoring center and tutored every single math and statistics class we offered.

My approach goes beyond teaching problem-solving techniques, I want all my students to walk away with a deep sense of understanding and get a sense for why the methods and formulas work. I prioritize teaching the necessary concepts and critical thinking skills that allow one to see the greater picture to apply mathematical concepts to new and unseen problems.

During my lessons, I create notes which I give to you so you can refer to them later.

I specialize in the following: High school math, Calculus, Linear Algebra, AP Statistics, Mathematical Statistics, Probability Theory, Stochastic Processes, and Actuarial Exam prep.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have been teaching high school algebra for several years since graduating from college. My approach is to explain the concepts as simply as possible and use questions from different sources to expose you to many different questions to see the build intuition for techniques to solve questions. I hope to share my love for the subject with you during lessons.
Calculus

Calculus

I have several years of experience teaching calculus. As an undergrad at Berkeley I worked at the math tutoring center where I further developed my teaching abilities to help students really internalize and deeply understand the concepts. My approach is to explain the concepts as simply as possible and use questions from different sources to expose you to many different questions to see the build intuition for techniques to solve questions. I hope to share my love for the subject with you during lessons.
Linear Algebra

Linear Algebra

One of my favorite things about linear algbera is how many problems are often reduced into linear algebra, and the theory is often so well understood that these very difficult problems often become easy. During my undergrad I majored in statistics and minored in math, many questions were often reduced to linear algebra hence why I had to become an expert in the subject. I've taught the subject for about two years and I hope to bring my excitement and expertise for the subject with you to our lessons.
Probability

Probability

I have several years of experience teaching calculus based probability theory. As an undergrad at Berkeley I filled in for graduate students and had the opportunity to be an instructor and lead my own classroom. I explain the concepts as simply as possible and use questions from different sources to build your intuition.
Statistics

Statistics

I have a degree in statistics from Berkeley and have been actively teaching the subject for several years since graduating. In undergrad I taught the introductory statistics course and calculus based probability theory. My approach is to explain the concepts as simply as possible and use questions from different sources to expose you to the many different problem solving techniques in order to build intuition for problems on exams. I hope to share my love for the subject with you during lessons.
