Math and Economics Student at UC San Diego

Feo Y.

I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of California, San Diego, studying Mathematics and Economics. My academic background includes linear algebra, differential equations, and statistics. I also scored a 1530 on the SAT, including a 790 on the Math section, giving me a strong understanding of the exam's content, structure, and problem-solving strategies.

I have experience tutoring students both independently and through a tutoring service. In high school, I volunteered to tutor algebra, precalculus, and calculus, helping students strengthen their mathematical foundations and work through challenging problems. For the past four months, I have also tutored with SC Tutoring, primarily helping high school students prepare for the SAT in a one-on-one online setting. These experiences have helped me develop my ability to identify students' weaknesses, explain difficult concepts clearly, and adapt lessons to each student's individual needs and goals. I also learned to better communicate with parents and organizing my schedule around students.

My tutoring approach emphasizes understanding over memorization. Rather than simply showing students how to solve a particular problem, I explain the reasoning behind each step so they can apply the same principles to unfamiliar questions. I encourage students to ask questions, think through problems independently, and learn from their mistakes in a supportive environment. For SAT preparation, I focus on strengthening foundational skills, recognizing recurring question types, and developing effective test-taking strategies. I am interested in tutoring students at various levels, from middle and high school mathematics to college-level coursework, particularly calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, statistics, and introductory economics. My goal is to help students improve their performance while building the confidence and problem-solving skills they need to succeed independently.
