Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile! I'm excited to help you build confidence in mathematics. I hold an MSc in Applied and Computational Mathematics from Simon Fraser University, where I earned a GPA of 3.66/4.33. I have also completed the Mathematics for Machine Learning Specialization through Coursera, further strengthening my knowledge of mathematical modelling, linear algebra, calculus, and machine learning.

In addition to my academic background, I have experience providing both online and in-person private tutoring to students with different learning needs and mathematical backgrounds. I've worked with students who needed help strengthening fundamental concepts as well as those preparing for exams or tackling more advanced topics. My goal is not simply to help students find the correct answer, but to ensure they understand the reasoning behind each step so they can solve similar problems independently and with confidence.

My tutoring style is patient, supportive, and interactive. I encourage students to ask questions, explain their thinking, and actively participate throughout each lesson. I break complex concepts into clear, manageable steps and tailor every session to each student's learning style, pace, and goals. By combining guided practice, clear explanations, and carefully chosen examples, I help students develop strong problem-solving skills while building a deeper understanding of mathematics.

My background covers a broad range of subjects, including Pre-Algebra, Algebra I and II, Geometry, Trigonometry, Precalculus, SAT and ACT Math, Calculus I, II, and III, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, Numerical Methods, and other undergraduate mathematics topics. Whether you're looking to improve your grades, prepare for an important exam, or strengthen your mathematical foundation, I'm committed to creating a positive learning environment where you can build lasting confidence and succeed.

I look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your academic goals!
