Bio

Hi! My name is Kelly, and I'm currently studying Math and Math Education at Boston University, working toward becoming a high school math teacher. I’m a teaching fellow with Teach For America, where I tutor small groups of students in math up through the high school level. I also work as an ESOL tutor, helping adult learners build their English skills.

My approach is patient, flexible, and focused on meeting students where they are. I know from experience that many students lack confidence...

Hi! My name is Kelly, and I'm currently studying Math and Math Education at Boston University, working toward becoming a high school math teacher. I’m a teaching fellow with Teach For America, where I tutor small groups of students in math up through the high school level. I also work as an ESOL tutor, helping adult learners build their English skills.

My approach is patient, flexible, and focused on meeting students where they are. I know from experience that many students lack confidence in math, and I strive to create a low-pressure environment where they feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes.

I specialize in SHSAT prep, Algebra I & II, Calculus I & II (including AP Calculus BC), and Chinese. As a Stuyvesant High School alum who scored 600 on the SHSAT, I’m familiar with the test’s rigor and strategies for success. I’m also a native Mandarin Chinese speaker and earned a score of 5 on both the AP Calculus BC and AP Chinese exams.

Whether it’s homework help, test prep, or long-term support, I’m committed to helping my students reach their goals. I’m quick to respond to inquiries, so feel free to reach out with any questions!

Personal Statements

Personal Statements

Hi! I’m Kelly, a sophomore at Boston University and a proud QuestBridge Scholar. I’ve been through the college application process myself and received high remarks from my advisor for my own college essay. I also have experience editing and giving feedback on essays for my peers. I enjoy helping students tell their unique stories clearly and authentically. Together, we’ll organize ideas, improve writing, and make sure your essay truly reflects who you are. My goal is to make the process less stressful and help you feel confident in your writing.
Regents

Regents

I’m currently pursuing a degree in Math and Math Education at Boston University, where I’ve gained both academic training and hands-on teaching experience. I’ve tutored students of various ages in subjects ranging from algebra to calculus, and I currently work as an ESOL tutor helping adult learners with math and English. I graduated from Stuyvesant High School with a 94.88 GPA and a 1470 SAT score, and I earned top marks on my NYS Regents exams, including a 100 in LOTE Chinese and Chemistry, 96 in Algebra II and Physics, and 94 in US History and ELA. I’m passionate about helping students build confidence and succeed in math through clear explanations and patient support.

SHSAT (NY HS admissions)

I graduated from Stuyvesant High School with a 94.88 GPA after earning a 600 on the SHSAT. I’ve since tutored middle school students in SHSAT prep, helping them strengthen their ELA and math skills with targeted strategies and practice. I’m currently studying Math and Math Education at Boston University and work as an ESOL tutor supporting students in both math and literacy. With strong Regents scores (including 100s in Chemistry and LOTE Chinese, 96s in Algebra II and Physics), I bring both academic strength and a student-focused approach to my tutoring.

Top notch tutor

Kelly has been helping my 13 year old with shsat prep. She breaks down tough concepts in a way that’s easy to grasp. Her follow up and materials provided are impeccable. Very happy with Kelly.
