Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been drawn to numbers. I remember spending hours at the kitchen table solving math puzzles my parents printed off the internet—way before I even knew what algebra was. In elementary school, I would beg my teachers for extra challenge problems, and by middle school, I was self-studying high school math just for fun. That early curiosity grew into a deep passion. By 9th grade, I had completed multivariable calculus, and by 10th, I had finished every AP math and physics course offered. Along the way, I became a USA Physics Olympiad medalist, earned a spot on the AMC 12 Distinguished Honor Roll, and scored a perfect 800 on the SAT Math section.
But what excites me even more than solving problems myself is helping others fall in love with math too. I’ve logged over 200 hours tutoring students online, ranging from middle schoolers struggling with fractions to high schoolers preparing for AP exams and competitions. I always start by understanding how each student thinks and then tailor my approach to build their confidence and intuition. Whether I’m breaking down complex physics concepts or guiding someone through a tricky calculus proof, I try to recreate that same spark I felt when I first started learning math—because I believe anyone can love it if it’s taught the right way.
