Patient & Supportive Math Tutor | Elementary–Algebra 2

Chloe L.

I am currently a psychology student at the University of Southern California, where I am taking Calculus I and currently earning an A in the course. I completed my primary and secondary education in Korea, including calculus during high school, and continued developing my quantitative background through psychology statistics coursework at university. I also earned an 800 on the SAT Math section in 2025. I am especially comfortable tutoring elementary math, prealgebra, Algebra 1, and Algebra 2, as these concepts are familiar to me and provide a strong foundation for the mathematics I have studied.

Although I am beginning formal tutoring, I have experience informally helping a fellow university classmate with calculus. We took the same calculus course, and I have answered their questions and explained concepts when they encountered difficulties. When teaching, I try to be patient and encouraging rather than simply giving students the answers. I believe mathematics develops step by step, and that struggling with a problem is a valuable part of learning rather than something to be rushed through. I would work with students to identify where they are having difficulty, break challenging concepts into manageable steps, and explain ideas in a clear and approachable way.

I genuinely enjoy helping others understand concepts that initially seem difficult, and I am prepared to approach tutoring with patience, enthusiasm, and consistency. My goal is not only to help students improve their grades or prepare for tests, but also to help them become more comfortable and confident in their own ability to learn mathematics.
