I am an undergraduate student at NYU majoring in mathematics. I graduated from Stuyvesant High School. I have a deep passion for mathematics and years of experience tutoring students of all levels. My academic foundation is backed by a perfect 1590 SAT score, a 5 in each of AP Calculus BC, AP Precalculus, and AP Statistics, a qualification for the AIME (American Invitational Mathematics Examination), one of the nation’s most prestigious math competitions. I have also successfully completed Columbia University’s Math in Action Precollege Program, further expanding my exposure to advanced problem-solving and mathematical thinking. In recognition of my achievements, I was honored by the College Board National Recognition Program. I am a College Board invited SAT bootcamp tutor through Schoolhouse. I am a National Merit Scholarship Finalist, a U.S. Presidential Scholars Program Candidate, an AP Scholar with Honor, and a proud member of the National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS).

Over the past several years, I have tutored students in SAT Math, SAT Reading, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, helping them build confidence and achieve excellent results. My students have gone on to significantly improve their test scores, strengthen their problem-solving skills, and in many cases exceed their own expectations. I tailor my approach to each student’s learning style, breaking down complex concepts into clear steps and emphasizing both accuracy and intuition.

As a competitive mathematician and active learner myself, I understand the challenges students face, and I strive to create a supportive environment where they feel comfortable asking questions and pushing themselves further. Whether the goal is to excel in class, prepare for a competitive exam, or simply build stronger foundations, I am dedicated to helping students achieve success and discover the satisfaction that comes with mastering math.
