Amazing tutor!!

Hello! My name is Lily. I teach at Brown University during the summer and at a regional university during the academic year. I also serve as an interviewer for Harvard admissions and a judge for International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF) qualifying science fairs. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Physics with a minor in Economics from Wellesley College and a Master’s in Mathematics for Teaching from Harvard University, where I earned a place on the Dean’s List.

Amazing tutor!!
I cannot express enough how amazing Lily is. She is truly exceptional! She has an ability to explain difficult concepts in a manner that her student will understand. She has been working with my niece since last summer. Originally we came to Lily with help in math. My niece did not do as well as she wanted to in math and was struggling so we started looking for a tutor and found Lily . This school year, with Lily’s help, she’s an A student in math and math feels easy for her. The last couple months she has only received perfect scores on her math tests. I haven’t seen her so confident in her math abilities in a very long time and it’s all thanks to Lily! Everything that Lily explained to her was able to be retained. I am truly impressed. Now, Lily is helping her in English. Lily has been able to help her through her English assignments in a way that makes it easier for my niece to understand. My niece’s most recent assessment has been her highest grade in English so far which was right after they started working together on this subject. She had also helped my niece in Chinese in which she has received an A in overall. My niece has ADHD and Lily has been able to grab her attention easily. My niece is also genuinely happy to see Lily which is a lot coming from a teenager who tends to be picky. I am happy with the way Lily is able to connect with her. Lily truly cares about her students and their education. If you’re looking for a tutor I would 100% recommend Lily!

Knowledgeable and engaging tutor
My daughter was struggling to find the right tutor for her needs in physics. She needed someone who was very engaged and interactive. Lily took the time to get to understand my daughter's needs and teaches physics in a way that my daughter can fully understand and take interest in - she no longer dreads tutoring sessions, which is a miracle!

Great teacher, patient and knowledgeable!
Thank you for such a thorough and thoughtful session summary. I truly appreciate the level of detail, structure, and strategic focus you are bringing to Darren and Henry’s preparation. It’s very reassuring to see how intentionally you are shaping not only their technical narrative, but also their delivery, positioning, and interview presence. The shift toward clarity, engineering reasoning, and confident scientific ownership is exactly what they need at this stage. I especially value how you are guiding them to think more deeply about validation, tradeoffs, and scalability — that kind of rigor will make a real difference at higher levels of competition. We are very grateful for your continued support and mentorship. We hope Darren can continue progressing to higher stages under your guidance, and we truly look forward to staying closely connected as the interview approaches. Thank you again for everything you’re doing for them.

Extraordinary - helped win multiple science fair awards!!
I am incredibly grateful for the guidance and support that Lily Z. has provided to my son throughout his preparation for science fairs. He came to Lily with no knowledge of scientific paper writing, but with her diligent, thoughtful, and caring approach, she helped him learn not only how to structure his presentation but also how to engage and captivate an audience. Lily's patience and dedication to ensuring that he truly understood the core principles of presentation strategy were unmatched. She worked with him to simplify complex concepts, refine his content, and make sure he could communicate even the most technical aspects in a way that would be accessible and exciting to all audiences, including younger listeners. Her focus on passion, excitement, and credibility in delivery was key to making his presentation so impactful. Not only did he win in the oral presentation category and win multiple other awards, but his innovative project is now advancing to the national competition. This success is a direct result of Lily’s thoughtful coaching, constructive feedback, and belief in his potential. Lily’s kindness, eagerness to help, and genuine care for her students’ growth are qualities that have made a world of difference for my son. I couldn’t be more thankful for her support and commitment to his success, and we are looking forward to continuing to work with her as he prepares for future competitions. Thank you, Lily, for everything you’ve done!

Dependable And Knowledgeable Tutor for College Calculus
Lily has been instrumental in helping my son ace the College Calculus class in his junior year in high school. She’s patiently worked through problems with him, sharp and quick at correcting his misconceptions in the course and recommended strategies to help him overcome his shortcomings. Although it’s late in the school year, when we were able to get a hold of her, she helped him make tremendous progress towards the end-of-year final and a couple of tests that pulled his grade up. Lily is a dream come true for any ambitious Mathematics student. She will get you to where you want to be academically.

Great 1:1 Teaching
Lily is a remarkable tutor who works with my son's Mandarin. She is thorough and has a clear vision of how to take him from where he currently is to the next level and communicates her lesson and approach well. I highly recommend Lily for whatever subject your child needs!
