Columbia MBA student

Grace W.

I am currently pursuing my MBA at Columbia Business School and hold a bachelor's degree in Economics. My academic background has provided me with a strong foundation in quantitative reasoning, economics, mathematics, business, and analytical problem-solving. In addition to my formal education, I have several years of professional experience as an analyst, where I regularly used data analysis, critical thinking, and communication skills to solve complex business challenges. This combination of academic and professional experience allows me to effectively tutor students in subjects such as economics, mathematics, business, and standardized test preparation.

I have several years of tutoring and teaching experience working with students of various ages and backgrounds. I have tutored middle school students in mathematics, helping them build confidence in foundational concepts while developing strong problem-solving skills. I have also provided SAT preparation tutoring, working one-on-one with high school students to improve their quantitative reasoning, test-taking strategies, and overall performance. In addition, I have taught English as a Second Language (ESL) to learners seeking to improve their English communication skills in both academic and everyday settings.

My teaching approach is tailored to each student's individual learning style and goals. I focus on breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps, encouraging active participation, and helping students develop independent problem-solving abilities rather than relying on memorization. Most of my tutoring experience has been in one-on-one settings, which has allowed me to provide personalized instruction and targeted support. I strive to create a supportive and engaging learning environment that helps students build both competence and confidence in their abilities.
