Growing up, I've achieved significant success in individual- and team-based competitions such as MathCounts, the AMC/AIME, and ARML. I've gotten perfect scores on both the SAT and ACT Math sections. I mastered AP Calculus BC as a 9th grader, took multivariable calculus/linear algebra in 10th grade, and went on to take courses in probability, discrete math, combinatorics, and number theory in university.

Growing up, I've achieved significant success in individual- and team-based competitions such as MathCounts, the AMC/AIME, and ARML. I've gotten perfect scores on both the SAT and ACT Math sections. I mastered AP Calculus BC as a 9th grader, took multivariable calculus/linear algebra in 10th grade, and went on to take courses in probability, discrete math, combinatorics, and number theory in university.
But an exceptional math tutor blends extensive experience, mastery of the material, and sharp problem-solving skills with an ability to convey knowledge to the student in several understandable and illuminating ways, and this is my real area of expertise. I have been helping classmates and friends in their studies for as long as I can remember. I believe in guiding students to understand the material themselves to make more meaningful learning connections, but am well-equipped and patient to break down and explain complex concepts as well. I can tailor my teaching style to the learning needs of the student: I can adjust the pace, how serious or fun the lesson is, and the balance between my explaining concepts and my encouraging the student to excel on his or her own.
I've accumulated over 2000 hours of in-person/online tutoring with hundreds of students over the past 10+ years. I've personally guided my peers through college-level courses in numerous subjects, and personally tutored several students online to score in the 700-800 range on the SAT Math section, boasting score increases of over 100 points.
In addition to this, I strive to connect with my students, establishing a friendly, comfortable partnership and adjusting to each student's unique traits, abilities, and preferences. My students have ranged in age from 6 to 60, and each one's approach to thinking has been wonderfully unique. No matter if you are falling behind and struggling or very advanced and looking for even more of a competitive edge, I will be able to meet you where you're at and give you something meaningful to take away.
