About Terukimi

Bio

I'm Terukimi, and I'm currently attending William's College as a Physics/CS major! Connecting with the youth through tutoring has always been a passion of mine. Since I was a freshman in high school, I have tutored elementary-age children learning addition/subtraction up to high schoolers learning AP Calculus BC. With each new student, I gained a new appreciation for teaching. Each child has their own unique propensity to learn and absorb information, and I aim to draw that passion out...

I'm Terukimi, and I'm currently attending William's College as a Physics/CS major! Connecting with the youth through tutoring has always been a passion of mine. Since I was a freshman in high school, I have tutored elementary-age children learning addition/subtraction up to high schoolers learning AP Calculus BC. With each new student, I gained a new appreciation for teaching. Each child has their own unique propensity to learn and absorb information, and I aim to draw that passion out through specialized lesson plans and engaging practice that emphasizes problem-solving skills. Usually, I start with a broad overview of any new concepts that I plan on teaching before focusing on the detailed explanation of each concept, providing supplemental example problems throughout each explanation and expanding upon the applications/expectations for any future courses or standardized exams (usually AP exams, SAT, etc.).

I have over three years of tutoring experience in a variety of subjects. I first started by tutoring young children of family friends with basic math operations, and eventually began tutoring high-school students as I explored volunteering opportunities around my community. Specifically, through organizations such as Teen Tutor Teens, I was able to engage with youth across the county as I tutored online in both writing and physics/chemistry. Although navigating "Zoom-mediated tutoring" was difficult at first, I am now comfortable accommodating my style of teaching on an online platform. Additionally, I tutor students in my school's National Honor Society chapter. Whether face-to-face or via Zoom, I tutor students who are struggling to keep up with the pace of their class so that they can gain the confidence and skills needed to succeed academically.

With tutoring, my students' success and comfort are my number one priorities, so any suggestions or accommodations are more than welcome. Feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns, or wonderments, and I'll be sure to reply as soon as possible!

Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I have taken college level maths since sophomore year of high school (5 on AP Calculus BC exam). I then dual enrolled my junior and senior years at Georgia Tech, receiving A’s in courses like Multivariable calculus, Linear Algebra, and Applied Combinatorics. I have also tutored in algebra and calculus to high school students in the past.
Calculus

Calculus

I took AP Calculus BC in my sophomore year of high school (5 on the Calc BC exam with a 5 AB subscore) and was awarded the fall semester award for academic excellence in calculus. I then dual-enrolled for Georgia Tech in my junior and senior years through the Distance Math program, receiving A's in courses such as Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Applied Combinatorics. At the same time, I also tutored AP Calculus students at my high school, both through Zoom sessions and in-person tutoring, so I am well-equipped for my student's tutoring needs.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I took high-school chemistry in my freshman year, receiving a nomination from my teacher for the Governor Honors Program in the sciences. I continued my passion for chemistry throughout my high school career and am currently an organic chemistry lab intern at a local university (400+ hours of experience). I took AP Chemistry in my senior year of high school, with my teacher awarding me with the fall semester award for academic achievement across all her classes. At the same time, I have been tutoring chemistry since my sophomore year to tutees across the county over Zoom.
Physics

Physics

I am a current physics major pursuing my Bachelor’s, receiving A’s in every class thus far (Modern Physics, Mathematical Physics, E&M, Waves & Vibrations). In high school, I took both AP Physics C classes (Mech and E&M) while receiving a 5 on both AP exams. I have also conducted physics research at my home institution and recently at Yale with a focus on biophysics and its intersection with neuroscience.

Patient and Attentive Tutor

Before having a tutoring appointment with Terukimi I tried 5 different tutors from Wyzant. All of whom I didn’t feel like were the best fit. I am really happy to come across him since he is very patient and willing to go through the steps. I appreciate how Terukimi not only explains the concepts really clearly but cared about me understanding the why behind the answers. He also pointed out patterns that also has helped me to solve physics problems. Furthermore, Terukimi prepared for the lesson which I could tell since the appointment flowed smoothly. I feel that I will finally be able to crush this class and get an A by the end.

Great teacher

My daughter had first lesson with Terukimi. His explanation of the problems and concepts are very clear. She enjoyed the lesson. She will continue to take lessons from him.

Awesome AP Physics Tutor!

Terukimi has been a huge help for my son in AP Physics. He’s great at explaining tough concepts and is super flexible with scheduling. He always responds quickly and makes it easy to set up sessions. Would definitely recommend!"

Great Math Tutor

Terukimi is my daughter’s go to tutor whenever she needs help with her Algebra 2. She feels very comfortable asking him questions and he is very kind and patient with my daughter. We are very glad to have him and highly recommend him.

Great Algebra 2 Tutor (10th Grade Honor Class)

My daughter was struggling with her Algebra 2 Honors class at the beginning of the year. Terukimi reviewed function notation, transformations, graphs, quadratic equations, and the intercept form of a quadratic. Thanks to his patience and clear explanations, my daughter gained a better understanding, increased her confidence, and her test scores improved. I highly recommend Terukimi for his effective teaching and his ability to make complex topics understandable.
