I am a passionate math student hoping to help other students excel on their exams and enjoy mathematics in the process. I graduated with a degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from Brown University with a 4.0 GPA, magna cum laude, and honors, and I'm starting a pure math PhD at Columbia University this fall. During my time at university, I was a TA for upper level math courses such as abstract algebra and differential geometry. At the same time, I was an in-class tutor at a local high school, where I helped students in algebra, precalculus, and calculus.
I love working with students in the late high school/early college age, as it can be a particularly frustrating phase of learning. Courses like trigonometry, precalculus, and calculus demand independent thinking skills from students, which can be challenging to develop in noisy classroom settings. My goal in tutoring is to not only prepare students for the current hurdle—quiz, homework, or standardized test—but develop strategies and intuition that will stick with them for the next challenge too. While the focus of one session may be limits or derivatives, the larger goal is building confidence and independent problem-solving skills.
I'm excited to help with SAT math (I scored an 800), Trignometry, Precalculus, AP Calculus AB/BC (I scored a 5 on both), or Multivariable calculus. Feel free to inquire about higher level pure or applied math courses or competition math as well.
