USC Applied Math Major | AP, SAT & Math Tutor

Andrew J.

I am currently a student at the University of Southern California studying Applied and Computational Mathematics, with a focus on analytical problem solving and real-world applications of math. Through my coursework and experience, I have developed a strong foundation in subjects ranging from algebra and calculus to statistics and data analysis. I enjoy helping students build confidence in math by breaking down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps and connecting them to intuitive ideas.

I have experience working with students in both one-on-one and small group settings, including teaching and assisting students in structured academic environments. I have worked with middle school, high school, and early college students, covering topics such as SAT Math, AP Calculus (AB/BC), AP Statistics, and general math coursework. My teaching approach focuses on identifying each student’s strengths and gaps, then tailoring sessions to reinforce fundamentals while also building problem-solving strategies. I also emphasize practice and repetition in a way that helps students recognize patterns and become more independent over time.

In my sessions, I aim to create a supportive and engaging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and working through challenges. I prioritize clear explanations, structured lessons, and practical strategies that students can apply on exams and in class. Whether the goal is improving grades, preparing for standardized tests, or strengthening overall math skills, I work closely with each student to help them make consistent and measurable progress.
