Hello! I’m Taeeon, and I graduated with honors from Columbia University’s School of Engineering and Applied Science, where I graduated Magna Cum Laude. I have been inducted into Tau Beta Pi engineering honor society for my academic excellence.

Before Columbia, I graduated in the top of my class from Deerfield Academy, a rigorous boarding school in Massachusetts. I scored 5's on AP Biology and Calculus BC, and I've helped middle school and high school students with algebra, geometry, precalculus, calculus (AB/BC). These experiences have given me a strong foundation in mathematics, chemistry, and biology, as well as the ability to explain complex topics clearly and effectively.

In addition to academic tutoring, I specialize in SSAT preparation. I scored in the 99th percentile on all sections of the SSAT and have extensive experience helping students improve both their content knowledge and test-taking strategies. Rather than relying solely on practice problems, I teach students how to approach standardized tests systematically: identifying common question patterns, managing time effectively, avoiding predictable mistakes, and developing a repeatable framework for tackling difficult problems.

My tutoring approach is highly personalized. I start by identifying a student’s strengths and gaps, then build a plan tailored to their learning style. I help students understand why concepts work, not just how to apply formulas. I also believe that long-term academic success requires more than content knowledge. I teach proven systems of note-taking, spaced repetition, exam preparation, and mindset habits that I developed myself over the years.

My goal is not only to help students improve their grades, but to teach them the study skills and mindset that lead to future academic success. I care deeply about my students, and I’m committed to helping them reach their full potential.

Approved Subjects

ACT Math

ACT Math

I am a senior Biomedical Engineering student at Columbia University, and I scored an 800 on the SAT Math section and a 1570 overall. I teach problem-solving strategies, pattern recognition, time-management techniques, and the shortcuts needed to excel on the test. My tutoring focuses on breaking down questions into simple, repeatable methods and helping students avoid common traps. I tailor each lesson to the student’s needs to build speed, accuracy, and test-taking confidence.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I am a senior Biomedical Engineering student at Columbia University. I received A/A+'s in Calculus I, Calculus II, Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations. I have extensive experience tutoring AP Calculus AB/BC as well as college-level calculus courses. I focus on explaining concepts clearly, breaking down problems into simple steps, and helping students understand why the methods work. My lessons are tailored to each student’s needs, with an emphasis on building a deep understanding.
Biology

Biology

I am a senior Biomedical Engineering student at Columbia University with a strong foundation in molecular biology, cell biology, physiology, and immunology. I have extensive experience tutoring high school and college-level biology, including AP Biology, introductory biology courses, and exam preparation. I help students by breaking down complex concepts with clear explanations, visuals, and real-world examples to help students truly understand the material. I tailor every lesson to each student’s needs to build confidence, mastery, and long-term retention.
Calculus

Calculus

I graduated with honors from Columbia University's School of Engineering and Applied Science, where I studied Biomedical Engineering. I earned A/A+'s in Calculus I, Calculus II, Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations, and I have extensive experience tutoring AP Calculus AB/BC as well as college-level calculus courses. Many students find calculus challenging because it can feel like a collection of formulas and procedures. I help students understand the underlying ideas behind the formulas so that problems become more intuitive and less intimidating.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I graduated with honors from Columbia University's School of Engineering and Applied Science, where I studied Biomedical Engineering. I earned A/A+'s in General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry, and I have extensive experience helping students understand challenging concepts in an intuitive way. Chemistry can often feel like a subject full of rules and memorization, but I focus on helping students understand the underlying logic behind the material. Whether we're working through stoichiometry, equilibrium, or thermodynamics, I break complex topics into manageable pieces and explain not just what happens, but why it happens.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I am a senior Biomedical Engineering student at Columbia University. I received A/A+'s in Calculus I, Calculus II, Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations. I have extensive experience tutoring AP Calculus AB/BC as well as college-level calculus courses. I focus on explaining concepts clearly, breaking down problems into simple steps, and helping students understand why the methods work. My lessons are tailored to each student’s needs, with an emphasis on building a deep understanding.

SSAT

SSAT

I graduated with honors from Columbia University's School of Engineering and Applied Science, where I studied Biomedical Engineering. I scored in the 99th percentile on all sections of the SSAT and later attended Deerfield Academy, one of the top boarding schools in New England. I have a strong understanding of the SSAT and the skills required to succeed on the exam. Whether a student is struggling with quantitative reasoning, verbal concepts, reading comprehension, or overall test-taking confidence, I focus on helping them develop both the knowledge and strategies needed to receive top scores.

Best tutor!

Taeeon is one of the best tutors we have ever had! He is very responsible, patient, and knowledgeable. He also spent extra time communicating with us outside of class to better support my son’s learning. My son loves learning with Taeeon and can’t wait for the next class. We feel very lucky to have found him through Wyzant and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable tutor.

Really Good

He is honestly a very good tutor. He starts by trying to understand what you are missing and helps you build the pieces to be able to solve questions by yourself. Not only that, but he has many ways to explain certain topics so that you can understand one way or another. I would highly suggest letting him tutor you.
