I’m a passionate and results-driven tutor with a college GPA of 4.0/4.0 and a high school GPA of 4.26/4.3, and I know exactly what it takes to help students reach the top.

With over two years of tutoring experience, I specialize in helping students master challenging topics in math and science. I’ve tutored peers in high school and college, and now I work with students online across the U.S. to improve their confidence, clarity, and problem-solving efficiency. My lessons are concept-driven and customized to each student’s learning style.

I’m bilingual in English and Mandarin Chinese, making me especially effective with international and bilingual students who may benefit from instruction in either language. I currently offer flexible online tutoring for subjects including Pre-Calculus, AP Calculus, Chemistry, and Physics.

I look forward to helping more students succeed—whether they’re preparing for AP exams or simply aiming for a higher GPA.
