High School Senior Passionate About Making Math Fun

Merina P.

I’m a high school senior with a strong passion for mathematics, and I am eager to share that enthusiasm by tutoring students in Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, and Algebra 2. Over the past few years, I have developed a deep understanding of these subjects through my own coursework and independent study. I enjoy breaking down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps, helping students not only complete assignments but truly grasp the underlying principles.

I have experience working one-on-one with peers and younger students in both formal and informal settings, providing support with homework, test preparation, and conceptual understanding. I focus on tailoring my approach to each student’s needs, using guided practice, examples, and interactive problem-solving techniques to ensure comprehension. My goal is always to build confidence and independence in learning, helping students feel capable and motivated in math.

Working with students from middle school through early high school has shown me the importance of patience, clear communication, and encouragement. I have seen firsthand how personalized guidance can make challenging topics more approachable and even enjoyable. As a tutor, I aim to create a supportive learning environment where students can ask questions freely, make mistakes without judgment, and develop both skill and confidence in mathematics.
