I studied math at UCI, graduating with a bachelor's and then a master's.
I then worked at the Art of Problem Solving for 7 months as a grader for their online school courses and was a teaching assistant for their AMC 10 problem series course. I am still with AoPS, and since October of this year, I have been tutoring for high-performing high school and middle school math students from disadvantaged backgrounds. This work has been very rewarding so far.

I am still with AoPS, and since October of this year, I have been tutoring for high-performing high school and middle school math students from disadvantaged backgrounds. This work has been very rewarding so far.
My teaching style is best suited for students who like to approach each session as a conversation rather than a lecture. I try to understand where students are stuck and lead them to the right insights through visuals, analogies, simplifications, and examples that feel as natural as possible. As much as possible, I try to appreciate and work with each student's unique way of thinking about each concept.
