I am a senior in high school attending Harvard College for physics in the fall. I have excelled in physics and math, receiving 5s on AP Calculus BC and AP Physics 1, 2, and C (both mechanics and electricity and magnetism), in addition to receiving a perfect 800 on the math section of the SAT. I studied physics beyond AP level, ranking in the top 250 in the country in the United States Physics Olympiad and publishing physics research at the University of California at Irvine.

I am a senior in high school attending Harvard College for physics in the fall. I have excelled in physics and math, receiving 5s on AP Calculus BC and AP Physics 1, 2, and C (both mechanics and electricity and magnetism), in addition to receiving a perfect 800 on the math section of the SAT. I studied physics beyond AP level, ranking in the top 250 in the country in the United States Physics Olympiad and publishing physics research at the University of California at Irvine.
As I learned more physics and math, I began tutoring and teaching my peers and younger students. I volunteered as a peer tutor at my school, helping students with topics ranging from inequalities to trigonometry. In my junior year, I worked as a teaching assistant for multivariable calculus, assisting with homework problems and teaching two classes on three dimensional curves and planes. In the weeks leading up to the Physics 1 and C exams, I held training sessions, in which I reviewed each unit of the courses, focusing on conceptual understandings, and went through practice tests, helping each and every student I tutored earn a 5.
As a tutor, I focus on teaching intuitions that allow students to excel without relying on formulas or tricks. This requires giving students room to think, while also giving a helping hand when necessary. True learning comes from within, but, by providing lessons, problems, and challenging questions, a tutor like me can help your student achieve intuitive mastery.
