I recently graduated from Knox College with a double major in Data Science and Economics, and I am currently pursuing a master's degree in Economics and Quantitative Analysis at DePaul University's Kellstadt Graduate School of Business, with the long term goal of continuing on to a PhD in Economics. Throughout my undergraduate studies I built a strong foundation in mathematics, statistics, and applied economic theory, and I worked as a teaching assistant for a business course where I regularly helped students work through quantitative material and understand core concepts rather than just memorize formulas.

My coursework and research experience have given me depth across the areas I plan to tutor. I have worked extensively with calculus, statistics, and econometrics, including building forecasting models using time series data and macroeconomic indicators for my senior capstone project. I have also studied corporate finance and financial modeling, and I am comfortable working through problems involving valuation, financial statement analysis, and quantitative reasoning more broadly. My approach to tutoring is to start from where a student currently is, identify exactly where the confusion begins, and rebuild understanding step by step using clear explanations and worked examples rather than rushing through material.

I tutored classmates informally throughout college and found that I enjoy the process of breaking down dense material into something manageable, especially for subjects like math and economics that can feel abstract until the underlying logic clicks. Whether a student needs help with a specific problem set, is preparing for an exam, or wants to build a more solid foundation before moving on to harder material, I focus on patience, clarity, and making sure concepts genuinely make sense rather than just getting through the session.

Approved Subjects

ACT Math

ACT Math

I graduated from Knox College with a double major in Data Science and Economics, giving me strong command of the algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and data analysis topics covered on the ACT Math section. My degree required continuous application of these mathematical concepts, from statistics coursework to quantitative modeling, so I stay sharp on the fundamentals that make up the exam. I served as a teaching assistant for an undergraduate business course, giving me experience helping students identify gaps in understanding and build both accuracy and speed under time pressure. My approach to ACT Math prep focuses on mastering the underlying concepts first, then building the pacing and test taking strategy needed to perform well within the time limits.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I graduated from Knox College with a double major in Data Science and Economics, giving me a strong and continually applied foundation in algebra and mathematical problem solving. My degree required extensive coursework built on algebraic reasoning, from statistics to calculus to quantitative modeling, so I use these concepts daily rather than as material I learned once and moved past. I served as a teaching assistant for an undergraduate business course, where I regularly helped students strengthen fundamentals they were shaky on before moving to more advanced material. My approach to algebra tutoring focuses on building genuine number sense and problem solving instincts rather than memorized steps, so students can apply what they learn to new problems, not just the ones they've already seen.
Business

Business

I hold a double major in Data Science and Economics from Knox College and am currently pursuing a master's degree in Economics and Quantitative Analysis at DePaul University's Kellstadt Graduate School of Business. My coursework covered core business fundamentals including microeconomics, statistics, and financial analysis, and I served as a teaching assistant for an undergraduate business course. I am comfortable helping students with business math, financial statement analysis, and quantitative decision making, and I focus on connecting theoretical concepts to real world business applications.
Finance

Finance

I hold a double major in Data Science and Economics from Knox College and am currently pursuing a master's in Economics and Quantitative Analysis at DePaul University's Kellstadt Graduate School of Business. My coursework covered corporate finance, financial statement analysis, valuation, capital budgeting, and risk and return concepts including CAPM, WACC, and time value of money applications. I have applied these concepts directly in my own research, including building financial and forecasting models using real market data for my senior capstone project. I focus on connecting formulas to intuition so students understand not just how to calculate an answer, but why the underlying finance concept works the way it does.
GRE

GRE

I graduated from Knox College with a double major in Data Science and Economics and am currently pursuing a master's degree in Economics and Quantitative Analysis at DePaul University, so I use the quantitative reasoning skills tested on the GRE on a daily basis. My academic background gives me strong command of the algebra, data analysis, and problem solving concepts that make up the Quant section, along with the analytical reading and reasoning skills relevant to the Verbal section. I served as a teaching assistant during my undergraduate studies, which gave me experience breaking down test taking strategies and content gaps for students at different starting levels. My approach to GRE prep focuses on identifying a student's specific weak areas early and building both content mastery and timing strategy together, rather than treating them separately.
Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Excel

I graduated from Knox College with a double major in Data Science and Economics, where I regularly used Excel for financial modeling, data analysis, and building forecasting tools throughout my coursework and senior capstone project. I am comfortable with core Excel skills including formulas and functions, VLOOKUP and INDEX/MATCH, pivot tables, data visualization, and formatting for professional reports and dashboards. I also have experience applying Excel specifically to business and finance contexts, such as building models, analyzing datasets, and automating repetitive calculations. My approach focuses on helping students not just learn where buttons are, but understand how to structure a spreadsheet efficiently so their work stays organized and error free as it grows.
R

R

I hold a degree in Data Science and Economics and have extensive hands-on experience using R for statistical modeling, data visualization, and time-series analysis, including building forecasting pipelines with SARIMAX and GARCH models. I'm comfortable teaching R fundamentals like data structures, control flow, and functions, as well as more advanced topics such as regression, tidyverse workflows, and ggplot2 visualization. I've also used R extensively in academic research, including econometric analysis of real-world datasets. I can tailor lessons to coursework, exam prep, or applied project work.
Statistics

Statistics

AP Statistics topics I cover: Exploring one- and two-variable data (distributions, scatterplots, correlation, residuals) Collecting data (sampling methods, bias, experimental design) Probability, random variables, and probability distributions (binomial, geometric, normal) Sampling distributions and the Central Limit Theorem Inference for proportions and means (confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, p-values, Type I/II errors, power) Chi-square tests Inference for regression slopes Free-response strategy and AP exam prep
