I began tutoring in high school, when I worked at the tutoring center at my local community college. When I transitioned to undergrad, I began tutoring middle and high school students privately, which I continued through the pandemic over Zoom. I have found that I work best with high school and college students, but I am open to working with particularly motivated middle schoolers as well.
In my teaching, I aim to help students discover the mathematics on their own as much as possible by asking them questions about what they've already learned and guiding them toward the right idea. This approach was instilled in me from my very first experience tutoring at my community college, and I find it helps students learn much more effectively than if I were to simply lecture to them about the material they are learning.
I hold a BS in Mathematics from Haverford College where I graduated magna cum laude and with high honors in mathematics. I am currently a third year math PhD student at Cornell University where I study logic and set theory. Alongside my studies, I work as a teaching assistant for various undergraduate courses.
