I am currently completing my Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), with graduation expected in May 2025. In Fall 2025, I will begin a Master of Science in Applied Digital Health at the University of Oxford. My academic background includes extensive coursework in mathematics, computer science, and problem solving—skills I use to support students preparing for standardized exams and core math courses. I scored a 1550 on the SAT (with a 790 in Math), a 35 on the ACT (with a 36 in Math), and a 770 on the SAT Subject Test in Math Level II, and I enjoy helping students work toward similar results.

I have previously volunteered as a math tutor, working primarily with elementary and middle school students in one-on-one and small group settings. I focus on making math intuitive and accessible, using step-by-step breakdowns and real-world examples to reinforce understanding. Whether preparing for the SAT or ACT or building a strong foundation in elementary math or algebra, I tailor my approach to meet each student’s unique learning needs. I believe that confidence grows from clarity, and I strive to help every student feel capable, supported, and ready to succeed.

Approved Subjects

ACT Math

ACT Math

I scored a perfect 36 on the ACT Math section and a 35 overall on the ACT. I am well-versed in algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, and I focus on helping students master these concepts. My approach involves providing clear, structured explanations and teaching strategies to manage time and solve problems efficiently, ensuring students are well-prepared to succeed on the ACT Math section.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

Having taken Algebra courses in both middle school and high school with straight A’s, I have developed a solid foundation in the subject. As a MIT undergraduate, my understanding of Algebra 1 is further strengthened by advanced coursework in Linear Algebra (18.06), Multivariable Calculus (18.02), and Mathematics for Computer Science (6.042). I am proficient in core algebra topics such as solving equations, working with inequalities, and manipulating polynomials. My teaching approach emphasizes clear, structured explanations of these fundamental concepts.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

Throughout college and high school, I have taken many subjects that require Algebra 2 concepts as a foundation. In high school, I completed Honors Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, AP Calculus BC, and AP Physics C, which strengthened my skills in manipulating algebraic expressions, solving systems of equations, and analyzing functions. At MIT, I built on this foundation in courses such as 18.02 (Multivariable Calculus), 18.06 (Linear Algebra), 6.042 (Mathematics for Computer Science), and 6.006 (Introduction to Algorithms). These courses made extensive use of Algebra 2 concepts in topics like matrix operations, eigenvalues, recurrence relations, and function optimization.
High School Placement Test

High School Placement Test

I scored in the 99th percentile on the High School Placement Test and was awarded multiple scholarships throughout high school based on academic excellence. I have a strong track record on standardized exams, including a 1550/1600 on the SAT and a 35/36 on the ACT, with particular strengths in the Math and Writing sections. My approach focuses on building mastery in core content areas, test-taking strategies, and pacing—equipping students to excel on high school entrance exams and beyond.
Precalculus

Precalculus

As a 4th-year undergraduate student at MIT, I have completed coursework in advanced mathematics, including Multivariable Calculus (18.02), Linear Algebra (18.06), and Mathematics for Computer Science (6.042), all of which build on the foundation laid in Precalculus. I have a deep understanding of algebra, functions, trigonometry, and analytic geometry, and I specialize in explaining these foundational concepts in a clear and engaging way. My approach focuses on strengthening students' mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills to ensure they are fully prepared for both Precalculus and future courses in Calculus and beyond.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I scored 790/800 on the SAT Math section and achieved an overall SAT score of 1550/1600. Additionally, I scored 770 on the SAT Math Level 2 Subject Test, demonstrating my strong grasp of advanced mathematical concepts. I am skilled at breaking down complex problems into manageable steps, with a focus on algebra, geometry, and data analysis. My goal is to help students improve accuracy and speed through targeted strategies and practice, building their confidence to perform well on test day.
