Bio

I LOVE math.
I'm very patient.
I tutor all ages and levels -- from elementary math to graduate level probability and stochastic calculus.

I got my B.A. in math at UC Berkeley and completed my PhD. at the University of Chicago. While being a graduate student, I taught many college level math classes such as Calculus, Multivariable Calculus, and Linear Algebra. I also tutored and volunteered for high school and elementary school students. The most recent tutee of mine used to be so afraid of...

I LOVE math.
I'm very patient.
I tutor all ages and levels -- from elementary math to graduate level probability and stochastic calculus.

I got my B.A. in math at UC Berkeley and completed my PhD. at the University of Chicago. While being a graduate student, I taught many college level math classes such as Calculus, Multivariable Calculus, and Linear Algebra. I also tutored and volunteered for high school and elementary school students. The most recent tutee of mine used to be so afraid of math -- she got A's from all the other subjects but math. I helped her with her Algebra and Geometry homework once a week, and she got an A at the end of the semester. Her mother tells me that the most impressive result of having me as a tutor for a year is not the improvement in her grades, but her attitude towards the subject. They, her mother and my tutee, were sad that I had to move and asked me to refer a friend of mine who can tutor her like I did. I felt so flattered!

I'm very patient!
I respect everyone's different learning curve and do not mind at all talking about one problem for an entire session if that's what a student wants. Some years ago, during my office hours at U of Chicago, I had one student who came to my office and ask me about one difficult concept (it was the most challenging concept in the entire calculus curriculum) over and over again. I really appreciated it that she did not give up. I didn't mind at all explaining it until she finally got it. It took many sessions, but it was totally rewarding to both of us.

I also like to give SAT math prep lessons!
I had a student and she had only two weeks to prepare for her SAT math test -- she was getting mid 600's when we first started, but after 10 lessons (yes! we met almost everyday for the two weeks!) she got 770 in her math 2 exam. She got into a great college she wanted to go, and thanked me -- It was such a rewarding experience.

Approved Subjects

Calculus

Calculus

As a PhD student at The University of Chicago, I taught many math courses for 5 years including Calculus, Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra, Probability, Number Theory, and many more. I know the subject inside-out and can show students which concepts/sections/problems to focus on.
Differential Equations

Differential Equations

I have a PhD in mathematics from the University of Chicago and TA-ed and taught Differential Equations.
Linear Algebra

Linear Algebra

I have taught college-level linear algebra class as an instructor (not TA) at the University of Chicago while attending PhD program. I have extensive teaching and tutoring experience. I am very patient and yet efficient.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I've been tutoring SAT Math for many years. I can see what a student's weakness is within the first hour. Then, I immediately plan a roadmap so that he or she gets better test score after having only several sessions with me. For example, I worked with a student who had been constantly getting mid-600 from Math Level 2C. After having 10 sessions with me, she got 760 in her next SAT test. The student got into the college that she wanted, and thanked me for the help after she got the admission. If you are motivated and want to improve your SAT score by 100 points within a month, you have just found the right person!

Fantastic teacher

Min is a fantastic teacher. My son was having difficulty with Trig and Calculus concepts, and after two hours with Min he said he understood everything he’d been struggling with all Semester. We will definitely be booking her again!

great start!

My daughter had a very positive experience working with Min. She said she was patient, engaging and funny—all excellent qualities in a tutor for something as serious as the SAT.

Great teacher

Min is very knowledgeable and patient. My daughter thinks Min explains everything in great detail. She is really good at teaching and making students understand tough concepts.

Minal, 13 lessons with Min

Really smart and patient

The subject was so foggy I couldn’t find my way around it. She made it so clear though it was very difficult concepts on probability and distribution. She knows what she is talking about. She is so patient and nice answering every question. She is Great. 👍🏻

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.

We studied Ordinary Differential Equations using the Frobenius Method. She made it much easier to understand than my textbook did. Plus, she made sure I understood the method before moving forward.

Awesome Tutor!!

Thanks to Min's help I was able to better understand a difficult topic for Calculus. She is patient and takes the time to make sure I grasped what she explained. Thank you!!!!

A+++++++ tutor

Positive, engaging, responsible, organized, extremely smart mathematician whose love for her subject shines through. The only quibble I can generate is that she hooked my daughter on sudoku, which was used as reward for hard work! And I am only joking about that, of course!

Rachel, 4 lessons with Min

Very helpful!

Min is helping me with calculus and statistics. She makes the material very accessible and provides helpful tips. She is also patient and makes sure I am understanding every step. Thanks, Min!

Very Knowledgeable Tutor

I reached out to Min because I needed help with my calculus homework and the lesson was outstanding. One of the best calculus lessons I ever had. She was very patient and knew the answers for each question that I needed help with. I will for sure keep in contact with her for my next assignments.
