Bio

I have been a Math tutor since 1997 and I was a Math teacher in a well known Catholic school in my home country too from 2007 - 2011. I have experienced teaching with various curriculums such as International Baccalaureate, Cambridge and Indonesian national curriculum as well. I work with students on topics from Pre-algebra to Calculus 1, whether for a class or as part of test preparation such as ACT or SAT.

I have been a Math tutor since 1997 and I was a Math teacher in a well known Catholic school in my home country too from 2007 - 2011. I have experienced teaching with various curriculums such as International Baccalaureate, Cambridge and Indonesian national curriculum as well. I work with students on topics from Pre-algebra to Calculus 1, whether for a class or as part of test preparation such as ACT or SAT.

My goal as an effective tutor is to help my students personally, from the subject that they first dislike/struggle at the beginning into having a better understanding on the subject as they finish the tutoring session with me. It has been my personal achievement to witness my students’ smiles when they finally can master the topics and improve their scores.

I look forward to hearing from you to help you achieve more with your Math!

Awesome Tutor

Mirah is a awesome Tutor, she has been helping my son with SAT prep and understanding Pre-calculus. In one hour he has learned more than his high school teacher taught him in one week. She really knows what she is talking about and is a good teacher. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help. We are lucky to have found her.
