I am a UC Berkeley graduate with a BS in Chemical Engineering. I graduated with a 4.00 GPA and received the Quantedge Award for Academic Excellence. In high school, I scored a 5 on the AP Calculus AB Exam and a 5 on the AP Chemistry Exam. I am very familiar with the format and content of the AP Calculus and AP Chemistry exams, and I would love to help you succeed in them!

I sincerely enjoy tutoring math and chemistry and have an incredible passion for helping students succeed in their courses. I was a chemistry tutor at Diablo Valley Community College for a year where I tutored students one-on-one. My basic approach to tutoring is to pinpoint why a student is struggling. For many students, it is due to not having a full grasp of the fundamental concepts. I would break up complex problems into understandable parts to help students discover these central patterns and concepts, which becomes one of those "a-ha!" moments for students. I would also provide helpful resources, further practice, and study tips.

I tutor Algebra 1, Algebra 2, College Algebra, Trigonometry, Precalculus, SAT Math, AP/college Calculus, Differential Equations, AP/college Chemistry, and Chemical Engineering.

I am easy to reach, so feel free to contact me for additional information or to schedule a lesson! I look forward to working with you!

Best Tutor I've Ever Had!

I met with Max for the first time last week and he's the best tutor I've ever had. I've used multiple tutors through my high school years, but Max is the first one I've felt comfortable making mistakes and asking questions to, even if they're repetitive. I am in the entry level math course at Harvard, which is a very fast paced class and Max takes the time to really go into detail to explain complex concepts. He is beyond patient and takes the time to answer my questions and makes sure I fully understand concepts. And I never seem like a burden during our sessions. His schedule is very flexible, which makes scheduling sessions so easy. I will continue to use Max throughout out my collegiate career, it is so worth it! Thank you so much Max!
