I am a math educator with several years of experience working with elementary and middle school students in both classroom and small-group settings. I currently work in a public middle school in California, where I support students with a wide range of learning needs. I have also taught 4th and 5th grade math in after-school academic programs. I hold a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in Statistics, and I am currently pursuing a California Single Subject Teaching Credential in Mathematics.

I specialize in middle school math, Pre-Algebra, and Algebra I. My teaching approach focuses on helping students understand why a method works rather than simply memorizing steps. I break difficult concepts into manageable pieces, identify gaps in foundational skills, and use guided practice to help students become more confident and independent problem solvers.

I especially enjoy working with students who feel that math is confusing or who understand concepts in class but struggle to apply them independently. Whether a student needs help catching up, staying on track with schoolwork, or building a stronger foundation for Algebra, I tailor lessons to the student's current level and learning pace. My goal is for students to leave each session not only knowing how to solve the problems we worked on, but also understanding the mathematical reasoning behind them.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have several years of experience teaching and supporting math students in classroom, small-group, and individualized settings. I currently work with middle school students in a California public school and hold a master's degree in Statistics. I focus on helping students build a strong foundation in Algebra 1, including equations, inequalities, functions, graphing, systems of equations, exponents, polynomials, and quadratic equations. My approach emphasizes conceptual understanding, clear step-by-step explanations, and guided practice so students can become confident and independent problem solvers.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I hold a master's degree in Statistics and have several years of experience teaching and supporting math students in classroom, small-group, and individualized settings. I help students develop a strong understanding of Algebra 2 topics including functions, systems of equations, polynomials, factoring, rational expressions, radicals, exponential and logarithmic functions, and quadratic equations. My teaching approach emphasizes clear step-by-step explanations while helping students understand the reasoning behind each method. I also focus on identifying gaps in Algebra 1 foundations that may be preventing students from succeeding in more advanced topics.
Chinese

Chinese

I am a native Mandarin Chinese speaker with several years of experience teaching and working with students in educational settings. I can help learners improve pronunciation, tones, vocabulary, grammar, and conversational Chinese. I especially enjoy explaining Chinese in a clear and practical way for English-speaking learners. Lessons can be tailored to each student’s level, goals, and questions, whether they are beginners or continuing their self-study.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I have several years of experience teaching elementary and middle school students, including directly teaching 4th and 5th grade math in academic programs. I currently work in a California public middle school and hold a master's degree in Statistics. I help upper-elementary students strengthen essential skills such as fractions, decimals, ratios, percentages, multi-step word problems, and early algebraic thinking. My teaching style focuses on clear explanations, identifying foundational gaps, and helping students understand the reasoning behind each step rather than relying only on memorized procedures.

Prealgebra

I have several years of experience teaching and supporting elementary and middle school math students in classroom, small-group, and individualized settings. I currently work with middle school students in a California public school and hold a master's degree in Statistics. I help students build strong foundations in fractions, decimals, ratios, percentages, negative numbers, expressions, equations, inequalities, exponents, and introductory graphing. My approach focuses on identifying foundational gaps, explaining concepts clearly step by step, and preparing students to transition confidently from Prealgebra to Algebra I.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and a master’s degree in Statistics, with experience teaching and supporting students in mathematics. I am comfortable with core Precalculus topics including functions, polynomial and rational expressions, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometry, sequences, and introductory analytic geometry. I focus on explaining concepts clearly, breaking multi-step problems into manageable steps, and helping students build the algebra and function skills needed for Calculus. I can also provide explanations in both English and Mandarin when helpful.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and a master’s degree in Statistics, with experience teaching and supporting students in elementary and middle school mathematics. I am comfortable with the full range of SAT Math topics, including algebra, advanced math, geometry, data analysis, and problem solving. I focus on helping students understand efficient solution methods, recognize common SAT question patterns, and avoid unnecessary calculation errors. I can also provide explanations in both English and Mandarin when helpful.
