Experienced Math Tutor

Austin L.

Choosing me as a math tutor means working with someone who understands mathematical concepts deeply and knows how to explain them clearly and patiently. As an Applied Mathematics major at Stony Brook University with a 3.55 GPA and multiple Dean’s List honors, I’ve excelled in courses such as probability theory, multivariable calculus, data analysis, graph theory, applied statistics, and mathematical analysis. My academic background is reinforced by my experience as a Teaching Assistant for a university-level probability course, where I led weekly problem-solving sessions for more than 120 students, guided them through difficult homework, and offered individualized support during office hours. These responsibilities helped me develop a teaching style focused on breaking down challenging ideas into simple, intuitive steps.

My dedication to teaching extends beyond formal coursework. As a member and peer coach on the Stony Brook Chess Team, I’ve led clinics and open-board sessions that strengthened students’ analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities—skills directly connected to success in math. Earlier, as a teaching assistant at Accelerate Academy, I supervised classrooms, prepared lesson materials, explained concepts daily, and helped students raise their diagnostic scores by about 15% over six weeks. These hands-on experiences taught me how to adapt to different learning styles and support students at all levels.

As a tutor, I aim to make math understandable and approachable. I focus on building strong fundamentals, strengthening problem-solving skills, and helping students gain confidence in their abilities. With clear communication, patience, and genuine enthusiasm for teaching math, I’m committed to helping every student I work with succeed.
