Welcome! I’m excited to help students build stronger mathematical understanding, confidence, and problem-solving skills through personalized instruction. I earned a Master of Science in Applied Mathematics from Columbia University with a CGPA of 3.68/4.0, specializing in advanced mathematical analysis, quantitative modeling, and computational problem-solving. I also completed a Graduate Certificate in Computational Mathematics through University of Houston–Downtown. My academic background includes calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, numerical computation, and mathematical modelling, with a strong focus on analytical and real-world problem-solving.

I provide instruction across a wide range of subjects, from foundational mathematics such as algebra, geometry, trigonometry, precalculus, and calculus to higher-level topics including vector and multivariable calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, and computational mathematics. My background in advanced mathematics enables me to simplify complex concepts into clear, engaging ideas while helping students strengthen their analytical thinking, mathematical intuition, and confidence. I work with students at different learning levels and adapt each session to their pace, goals, and learning style.

My tutoring approach is centered on clarity, patience, and structured problem-solving. Rather than relying solely on memorization, I guide students toward developing independent reasoning skills and deeper conceptual understanding that extend beyond the classroom. I break down difficult problems into manageable steps, encourage active thinking, and connect mathematical ideas to practical applications in engineering, technology, data science, and the physical sciences. My goal is not only to help students improve academically, but also to help them become confident, independent learners who can approach unfamiliar problems with clarity and confidence.

I welcome the opportunity to support your progress and success in mathematics.
