I'm a Pure Math PhD graduate from UCLA with five years of experience teaching undergraduate courses at UCLA, including: Real Analysis, Complex Analysis, (proof-based) Linear Algebra, (proof-based) Multivariable Calculus 1&2, Discrete Math, Calculus 1&2, Calculus for Biology Majors.

In the past, I've helped current graduate students prepare for their Graduate Exams/ Qualifying Exams/ Screening Exams in the following topics: Complex Analysis, Real Analysis, and (Abstract) Algebra. I've also tutored first- and second- year masters and PhD students in their core courses. Beyond what's already been mentioned, I've tutored graduate-level Probability and Combinatorics.

I'm experienced in tutoring graduate-level and upper-division undergraduate math courses, including helping past students with Analysis, Abstract Algebra, Discrete Math, Differential Equations, Probability (and advanced Probability). I've also helped several students refine their ability to write proofs for upper-division math classes and am comfortable teaching students from scratch, if they lack the necessary background.

I've also tutored lower-level and high school math courses: AP Calculus BC (I scored a 5, back in the day), AP Calculus AB (5), AP Statistics (5).

Separately, I have project- and paper-level experience with software like Mathematica and am proficient in Python. Thus, I am comfortable helping high school, undergraduate and graduate students with their math-based programming and software projects.

My teaching philosophy is to teach the students how to solve the problems on their own, not just show them how to do individual homework problems. Instead of just showing students how to do the problem, I ask them their initial thoughts of the problem, what their approach is, to determine where they get stuck on a problem. This way, I can tailor the explanations and solutions to their intuitions, not mine or the instructor's. My belief is that everyone gets stuck... sometimes.

Approved Subjects

Discrete Math

Discrete Math

I obtained my PhD in Math from UCLA and taught Math 61 (Discrete Math) several times as a TA. The class covers sets/relations, combinatorics, graph theory, and some computer science algorithms.
Finite Math

Finite Math

I obtained my PhD in Math from UCLA and taught Math 61 (Discrete Math) several times as a TA. The class covers sets/relations, combinatorics, graph theory, and some computer science algorithms. I also took a finite math class as an undergraduate (at Indiana University).
Real Analysis

Real Analysis

I obtained my PhD in Math from UCLA and my research area was in Real Analysis and I passed the graduate Analysis qualifying exam for my degree. At UCLA, I taught Math 131A/B (Real Analysis 1 and 2) several times as a TA, including the honors sections of these classes. Additionally, I have tutored many students taking the Real Analysis classes at UCLA, and have tutored many students on Wyzant needing help with Real Analysis.
