About Ranel


Bio

I'm an Applied Mathematics student at UC Berkeley and a former Mathnasium instructor. I help students make sense of math, build confidence, and develop a clear approach to unfamiliar problems. I tutor Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Precalculus, and Calculus, whether you're working through a difficult class, preparing for a test, or strengthening your foundation. My Berkeley coursework includes multivariable calculus and linear algebra, giving me a broader perspective on how the concepts students...

I'm an Applied Mathematics student at UC Berkeley and a former Mathnasium instructor. I help students make sense of math, build confidence, and develop a clear approach to unfamiliar problems. I tutor Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Precalculus, and Calculus, whether you're working through a difficult class, preparing for a test, or strengthening your foundation. My Berkeley coursework includes multivariable calculus and linear algebra, giving me a broader perspective on how the concepts students learn today connect to what comes next.

From August 2024 through June 2025, I taught at Mathnasium of Manhattan Beach, working with more than 15 students each week, ages 6-17, on topics ranging from arithmetic to calculus. I adapted explanations to different levels of understanding and earned Employee of the Month in October 2024. That experience taught me how important it is to find the specific step where a student gets stuck. A confusing problem often becomes manageable once we address a missing concept, explain it differently, and build from there.

In our lessons, I'll start with your current work and goals, then ask you to walk me through your thinking so we can identify what needs attention. We'll break problems into manageable steps, connect formulas to the ideas behind them, and practice until you can explain the method yourself. You can expect patient explanations, room to ask questions, and practice focused on the skills you need most. My goal is for you to leave with an approach you can use independently on homework and tests. For ongoing support, we'll revisit earlier skills while keeping pace with your class. Send me your course, the topics you're working on, and any upcoming test dates so we can plan a focused first lesson.

Approved Subjects

ACT Math

ACT Math

I study Applied Mathematics at UC Berkeley and earned a 790 in SAT Math, with a 1540 overall. From August 2024 through June 2025, I taught students ages 6–17 at Mathnasium, covering arithmetic through calculus. Although I have not taken the ACT, my coursework and teaching experience provide a strong foundation in the algebra, geometry, and trigonometry tested in ACT Math. My lessons will combine targeted concept review with timed practice, helping students improve accuracy and choose efficient approaches.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

As a former Mathnasium instructor, I taught more than 15 students weekly, ages 6–17, adapting explanations to different levels of understanding. I am now studying Applied Mathematics at UC Berkeley, and in Algebra 1 lessons, I focus on equations, inequalities, graphing, and translating word problems into manageable steps. We will work through examples together, then practice similar problems so students can build the confidence to solve them independently.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I study Applied Mathematics at UC Berkeley, where I have completed coursework in multivariable calculus and linear algebra. As a Mathnasium instructor from August 2024 through June 2025, I taught topics ranging from arithmetic to calculus and adapted explanations to each student's understanding. My Algebra 2 lessons focus on connecting concepts across functions, quadratics, polynomials, exponentials, and logarithms. I will help students identify gaps in earlier algebra skills, understand why methods work, and practice applying them to unfamiliar problems.
Calculus

Calculus

I am an Applied Mathematics student at UC Berkeley with completed coursework in multivariable calculus and linear algebra. My teaching experience includes explaining topics through calculus to students at Mathnasium, where I worked from August 2024 through June 2025. In calculus lessons, I connect limits, derivatives, and integrals to their graphical meaning before working through the calculations. We will focus on recognizing which technique a problem requires, strengthening any prerequisite algebra, and developing solutions students can explain themselves.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I earned a 1540 on the SAT, including a 790 in Math, and I am currently studying Applied Mathematics at UC Berkeley. As a former Mathnasium instructor, I taught more than 15 students weekly, covering arithmetic through calculus. My SAT Math lessons will use targeted practice and careful error review to identify content gaps, improve accuracy, and develop efficient problem-solving habits. We will compare approaches and work on pacing so students can make better use of their time on test day.
