About Shu


Bio

Hi, I’m Shu. Math has always been a deep passion of mine. As a student, I won first prizes in national math competitions in China during middle and high school and later earned a perfect score on the GRE Math section. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Engineering from Tsinghua University. I then completed a Master’s degree in Mathematics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where I graduated with a perfect 4.0 GPA.

Hi, I’m Shu. Math has always been a deep passion of mine. As a student, I won first prizes in national math competitions in China during middle and high school and later earned a perfect score on the GRE Math section. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Engineering from Tsinghua University. I then completed a Master’s degree in Mathematics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where I graduated with a perfect 4.0 GPA.

Over the years, I’ve taught applied mathematics at the college level, spent two years as a high school math teacher, and tutored middle, high school, and college students in subjects including Prealgebra, Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry, Trigonometry, Precalculus, Calculus, AMC/Competition Math, SAT Math, and ACT Math.

I know math can be challenging, not because students aren’t capable, but because they sometimes haven’t been given the right tools or explanations. I focus on breaking down difficult topics into clear, understandable steps while building confidence along the way. Every student has a unique learning style, and I tailor my approach to fit their needs. As the parent of a student admitted to MIT, I value rigorous preparation and strong mathematical thinking and am passionate about helping students reach their highest potential.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

After 2 months of lessons with Shu, I gained confidence in my mathematical abilities and was able to score 100 on my Algebra 2 final exam! She helped me expand my knowledge so that I would always have the resources to solve any problem, and she always thoroughly explained all problems as well as any questions I had.

Knowledgeable and nice tutor

My 10th grade daughter had difficult time with her Honors Geometry class. We tried few tutors from Wyzant without improvement. When my daughter met Shu for the first lesson, she felt different and felt more confident. My daughter did six more one hour lessons with Shu and she received her best grade since the start of the semester. Shu was very patient and knowledgeable. We’ll definitely ask her for additional tutoring next semester.

Incredible tutor!

We have had Ms. Shu tutor my boys for 10-20 lessons. She is patient with kids and understands math at a deep level. I believe she can be a good tutor for them for years to come. We are satisfied with the improvement both boys have shown in their math.

Sau, 45 lessons with Shu

Knowledgeable and helpfull

We are pretty happy to find Shu to help our 12 year old daughter prepare for her Math count competition. Shu knows her material and can explain clearly. She knows how to teach through example, walked our daughter through problem solving step by step, provides suggestions and ask questions to ensure that the student truly understand how to solve the problem. As parents whom are in engineering field and have not touches Middle school or High school math for a long time, we are glad to have Shu help our daughter with math and will continue lesson with Shu for a long while.
