Hello, and welcome to my profile! I hold a Master of Science in Mathematical and Computing Science from the Tokyo Institute of Technology, graduating with an overall grade of A (83%, ≈ 3.75/4.0). My academic training integrates advanced mathematics with computer science, combining strong theoretical depth with practical problem-solving skills, and I have also earned the Applied Mathematics Professional Certificate from Coursera, further strengthening my expertise in mathematical modeling, analysis, and real-world applications.

My background covers a broad range of subjects, from Algebra I & II, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Precalculus, to advanced Master’s-level topics such as advanced calculus, linear algebra, numerical analysis, probability, optimization, graph theory, computational complexity, cryptography, and mathematical modeling, allowing me to tutor students from foundational math through advanced mathematics and computing coursework.

My tutoring approach is highly structured, supportive, and results-driven. I begin each collaboration with a brief diagnostic to identify gaps, strengths, and learning preferences, then design a personalized study plan aligned with the student’s goals, whether it’s improving grades, preparing for exams, or building long-term mastery. Lessons emphasize clear explanations, step-by-step reasoning, and active student participation, ensuring concepts are truly understood rather than memorized. I incorporate guided practice, targeted drills, conceptual checks, and exam-style problems, while reinforcing problem-solving strategies, time management, and clear mathematical communication, with a strong focus on correcting misconceptions, building intuition, and helping students recognize patterns to confidently tackle new problems.

I can also prepare a well-detailed material for our session, with concise notes, worked examples, and focused practice, and I would be delighted to help you build confidence and succeed in mathematics.
