I am currently an Actuarial Science student at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, where I have built a strong background in math, statistics, probability, and finance. I have also passed professional actuarial exams in Probability (Exam P) and Financial Mathematics (Exam FM). Between my college coursework and preparing for these exams, I have spent a lot of time working through challenging math problems and learning how to break complicated concepts down into simpler, more understandable steps.

My approach to tutoring is patient, relaxed, and focused on actually understanding the material rather than just memorizing formulas. I know how frustrating it can be when a concept doesn’t immediately click, so I like to figure out exactly where a student is getting stuck and work from there. I typically explain the idea in straightforward terms, work through an example together, and then let the student try similar problems with my guidance. I also encourage students to talk through their thinking because it helps me understand what they already know and where I can help.

While I am newer to formal tutoring, I have plenty of experience working with classmates and peers on difficult quantitative material throughout college. I genuinely enjoy math and problem solving, and I want students to feel comfortable asking questions without worrying about getting something wrong. My goal is to help students improve their understanding and grades while also building the confidence to solve problems on their own.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have a strong background in algebra through my Actuarial Science coursework and experience with higher-level mathematics. I am comfortable helping students with Algebra 1 topics including solving equations and inequalities, graphing linear equations, systems of equations, exponents, polynomials, factoring, and word problems. I focus on breaking problems into clear steps and helping students understand the reasoning behind each method rather than simply memorizing formulas. My goal is to help students build confidence in algebra and develop the foundation they need to succeed in future math courses.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I have a strong background in math and enjoy helping students understand concepts in a simple and approachable way. I am comfortable helping with elementary math topics such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, and word problems. I focus on breaking problems into easy-to-follow steps and adjusting my explanations based on what works best for each student. My goal is to make math less intimidating while helping students build confidence and a strong foundation for future classes.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I have a strong background in mathematics through my Actuarial Science coursework and experience with advanced quantitative subjects. I am comfortable helping students with pre-algebra topics including fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios, equations, inequalities, exponents, and word problems. I focus on breaking problems into clear, manageable steps and helping students understand why each step works rather than relying on memorization. My goal is to help students build confidence in their math skills and develop a strong foundation for algebra and future math courses.
