I am a dedicated and experienced tutor with a passion for teaching. I completed my undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley, earning two degrees in Computer Science and Bioengineering. Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in Biomedical Engineering at Columbia University. I scored a 36 composite on the ACT and a 1550 on the SAT. I also scored 329 on the GRE and have extensive experience crafting compelling college essays and personal statements.

My tutoring and teaching experience spans a wide range of subjects and age groups. For three years, I tutored college students in computer science, helping them navigate complex topics and develop strong problem-solving skills. Additionally, I worked at a K-12 tutoring academy for a year, where I provided instruction to students aged 5-18 across various subjects, including college prep. My approach to tutoring is highly personalized, focusing on each student's unique learning style and needs. I employ a variety of methods, from hands-on activities to problem-based learning, ensuring that concepts are not only understood but also applied effectively. Beyond the classroom, I have dedicated five years to mentoring students in robotics and STEM programs, working with students aged 9-18. Whether in a one-on-one setting or in a group, I strive to create an engaging and supportive learning environment where students feel confident and motivated to achieve their best.

Excellent and thorough instructor

Vivian was able to explain aspects of the SAT reading comprehension from a perspective that my daughter had not considered. She was thorough, thoughtful, and conveyed that she cared that my daughter improve her SAT score. She was very accommodating with assisting my daughter at an evening west coast time when she was in the eastern time zone. It was greatly appreciated! We will continue to utilize her expertise as an instructor for the SAT exam and other future subject matter. I highly recommend Vivian to anyone seeking to prepare for or improve their SAT or academics.

Helpful with college essays

Vivian was helpful editing my college essays. She provided good feedback and direction for my essays. We met for the first session and after that she sent me her edits which ended up being an efficient way to keep up with the many essays. I would use Vivian again.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Vivian is helping my daughter to prepare for her PSAT. She is knowledgeable, experienced and organized. She sent a practice test to us prior to her initial session. So, my daughter could take the test and sent it to you before the session. Then she went through the test with my daughter and focused on areas/topics my daughter needs to focus on the following sessions. Definitely recommended!
