I graduated from Edison High School in Huntington Beach with a 4.38 weighted GPA and earned the AP Scholar Award, completing AP courses including English Literature, Calculus AB, Biology, Environmental Science, Art History, and Economics.

Hi, I’m Hayden, a first-year Political Science student at the University of Southern California. I graduated from Edison High School in Huntington Beach with a 4.38 weighted GPA and earned the AP Scholar Award, completing AP courses including English Literature, Calculus AB, Biology, Environmental Science, Art History, and Economics. Because I took these classes so recently, I know exactly what today’s teachers and AP exams expect, and I still remember what it feels like to be stuck on a tough concept.

Since August 2024, I have run my own one-on-one tutoring service, meeting weekly with high school students in English, math, and science. Many of my students came through my local baseball community, so I understand how hard it is to balance a demanding sport with a heavy course load. Before each session I ask what test or assignment is coming up, then build the lesson around it. In math and science, I work through problems step by step and have students explain their reasoning back to me so I can catch gaps early. In English, I focus on close reading, building a strong thesis, and organizing essays that make a clear argument.

Outside of tutoring, I served as Head Chair for Model United Nations, where I led committee sessions and guided delegates through research and debate, and as ASB Treasurer, where I managed the budget for a 130+ member organization. These roles taught me to explain complex ideas clearly, stay organized, and be patient with people learning something new. My goal is for every student to leave a session not just with a finished assignment, but with the confidence and study habits to succeed on their own.

Algebra 1

I completed AP Calculus AB in high school, and algebra is the foundation that course is built on. I have tutored high school students in math one-on-one since 2024, covering topics like solving equations and inequalities, graphing linear functions, systems of equations, exponents, and factoring. I work through problems step by step and have students explain their reasoning back to me, which helps me catch misunderstandings early and build their confidence. Each session is built around the student’s current unit, homework, or upcoming test.
Art History

Art History

I completed AP Art History at Edison High School and have tutored high school students one-on-one since 2024. I help students learn the required works across content areas like Medieval Europe and Global Contemporary art, using memory tricks and themes that connect the pieces so the list feels less overwhelming. I also prepare students for the exam’s free-response questions, including visual analysis, contextual analysis, comparison, and attribution of unknown works. Each session is built around the student’s current unit or upcoming test.
Baseball

Baseball

I was a varsity baseball captain at Edison High School and competed at the national travel level with Stacked Baseball Club. I’ve played competitive baseball for years, so I can teach hitting, fielding, throwing mechanics, and game awareness, and I can also help players with the mental side of the game. I’ve also tutored young athletes in academics since 2024, which taught me how to break skills into clear, manageable steps and adjust to how each player learns. Sessions are built around the player’s age, position, and goals, whether that’s making a team, improving at a position, or getting ready for the season.
Biology

Biology

I completed AP Biology at Edison High School as part of a 4.38 weighted GPA and earned the AP Scholar Award. I have tutored high school students in science since 2024, and I break complex topics like cell biology, genetics, evolution, and ecology into clear, manageable steps. I use practice questions and have students explain concepts in their own words, and I prepare them for AP free-response questions that involve experimental design and data analysis. Each session is built around the student’s current unit or upcoming exam.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I completed chemistry in high school, and I studied for a university chemistry placement exam, reviewing stoichiometry, atomic structure, bonding, and chemical reactions. I have tutored high school students in science since 2024, and I help them work through calculation-heavy topics like unit conversions, moles, and balancing equations step by step. I have students explain their reasoning back to me so I can catch mistakes early and build their confidence before tests. Each session is built around the student’s current unit, homework, or upcoming exam.
Debate

Debate

I founded the Speech and Debate Club at Edison High School and served as Head Chair for Model United Nations, earning awards at conferences at UC Berkeley, UCLA, and NHSMUN in New York.
