Bio

Hello students and parents,

I am a math tutor. I have over five years of experience tutoring at the junior high school, high school and college levels. I received my master’s degree in Electric Engineer from University of Colorado at Boulder, and my bachelor’s degree is in Science and Math, with a Psychology Minor. I have been tutoring since I was in Undergrad. I am volunteering as a tutor to help the kids study at my Church.

Hello students and parents,

I am a math tutor. I have over five years of experience tutoring at the junior high school, high school and college levels. I received my master’s degree in Electric Engineer from University of Colorado at Boulder, and my bachelor’s degree is in Science and Math, with a Psychology Minor. I have been tutoring since I was in Undergrad. I am volunteering as a tutor to help the kids study at my Church.

The Subjects I am tutoring include: all levels of Math [Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Algebra II, College Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus and Linear Algebra]; all levels of Chinese [Speaking, Writing and Reading]; and all levels of Physics.

Here is the brief information about how I tutor:

I help to create the self-confidence of study. I help to build a unique way to learn math for every student that is easy, understandable and efficient. I help students understand the key theories and formulas and get the ideas to solve problems. I give practice only when needed.

Sharing my knowledge with students to enhance their desire to learn is the key of my classes.

Let's do math together.

I am looking forward to meeting you and getting the chance to tutor you.

Algebra 1,

Algebra 1

Having a strong function on Algebra 1 is strategic important to every student. I usually focus on the way to make Algebra 1 study easier than it looks. There are always some tips on how to learn it. I will use different tutor ways, in order to fit different students’ requirements.
Algebra 2,

Algebra 2

Algebra 2 is a required course for all high school students. It is also the subject the most students struggling with. It is a most important part in ACT/SAT tests. In order to learn Algebra 2 better, the strong foundation of Algebra 1 is required. I have been tutoring Algebra 2 for more than five years. I use my own way to help students understand all kinds of rules easier and how to graph a function. I usually give all kinds of examples to students practice on each concept. I will prepare a note for student in every session.
Calculus,

Calculus

I have my own notes for all kinds of concepts with typical samples for calculus. My goal is learning with joy, preparing for the AP Calculus exam with confidence.
Physics,

Physics

Some High school or College students take Physics. There are several different levels of difficulties. Most students think it is hard to learn. Beside all of the formulas of each concepts, how to use the formulas is the hardest part. Why use this formula, not the other one and how to use it. Students ask me these questions all the time. Analyzing the problems given is the key to answer of the questions. I always use real life example to explain what the problems mean and why the certain motion happens. I always give some similar practice to make students' understanding solid. I give a note includes all kinds of formulas every session. In order to understand the Newton Laws, I put three of them together and compare the difference. I find out comparing two or more similar concepts is very effective.
Precalculus,

Precalculus

Most high school students study Precalculus. It is also one of the most subjects I have been tutoring. Every concept of Precalculus is specific. I will focus on different ways for each concept. I usually don't use exactly the same tutoring way for each student during each session. My strength is helping students to understand what, how and why the equation should be.
SAT Math,

SAT Math

The SAT math currently has been changed. There are both calculator sections and non calculator sections right now. I have been helping many students preparing SAT math every year. I usually start with the most important formulas and rules with every student. I found it is very helpful for the future sessions.

Featured review

Lin is a great tutor

Both of my kids worked with Lin for both Physics and Trig/Pre-calc. They each had different questions and she was able to help them understand not just how to solve the problems, but also understand why they would use them. They each learned a lot in just the first lesson. She's a great tutor and we plan to work with her going forward. Very happy.

Laurel, 26 lessons with Lin

Knowledgeable and patient

Lin made the concept of calculus in a very digestible manner and taught me easier ways to learn the subject matter. I would definitely recommend her as a tutor!

Sam, 1 lesson with Lin

Knowledge tutor, helpful with great insights

Better understanding of sinusoidal functions, was definitely better prepared for my upcoming test. Lin was very responsive and easy to get scheduled, I will definitely use her again

DeLane, 1 lesson with Lin

Physics tutoring

She was very knowledgeable and patient with my son. He responded very well and is looking forward to performing in the testing process. At this point I recommend her for tutoring with anyone, and we will continue to use her in the near future.

Linsy, 3 lessons with Lin

Great tutor

Lin helped me review for my physics test and I feel much more confident and prepared for the test after our lesson. She made sure I understood the concepts behind each problem, not just how to get the answer, which was very helpful!

Karigon, 3 lessons with Lin

Patient and very helpful

I was in a real bind and reached out at the last moment. And she was very knowledgeable, pleasant and helpful. I cannot recommend her more highly. It was an added benefit that she was able to help with both physics and chemistry.

Warren, 1 lesson with Lin

Amazing teacher

I’ve had two lessons with Lin and she’s taught me a bunch of geometry concepts. I’m super happy I have her as a tutor because she’s very patient and makes sure I understand every problem.

Katelyn , 2 lessons with Lin

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.

Lin taught and helped me understand physics better by going through the motions of note-taking and she helped me understand AP physics better than any physics textbook. She is a treasure.

James, 12 lessons with Lin

Knowledgeable and nice tutor

Lin is an excellent teacher. She worked with my 10th Grade daughter for 7 weeks to help her prepare SAT subject Math ll. She knows the topics very well, and is good at guiding my daughter to think through the problems. Very productive sessions!

Christine, 38 lessons with Lin

Very, very helpful.

Lin has greatly helped my daughter better understand AP physics. She's very patient and explains concepts in a way my daughter understands. This is our fourth lesson with Lin and we plan on more.
