Hi, I'm Austin Du! With a Columbia Statistics Masters degree and experience as Math Director at Art of Problem Solving (AoPS), I bring a unique perspective to mathematics education at all levels. My background spans from nurturing young mathematical talent through AoPS's Beast Academy program to teaching advanced college courses like Multivariable Calculus, Statistics, and Linear Algebra. This breadth of experience allows me to develop targeted learning strategies for every student, whether they're exploring advanced elementary concepts or tackling college-level challenges.

My credentials include a perfect record of AP scores (5s in Calculus AB/BC, Statistics, Chemistry), ACT Math (36), GRE Math (170), and a 3.9 GPA at Columbia. However, what sets my teaching apart is my experience with both rigorous academic mathematics and creative problem-solving techniques. At AoPS, I specialized in developing young mathematicians' analytical thinking through AMC 8/10/12 and AIME preparation - abilities that prove invaluable even in advanced coursework. For gifted and GATE students, I can provide challenging enrichment beyond standard curricula, while for college-bound students, I offer expert guidance through advanced coursework.

Whether you're a middle school student preparing for AMC competitions, a high school student aiming for AP 5s and AIME qualification, or a college student mastering advanced concepts, my personalized learning plans will guarantee success by teaching math through understanding rather than memorization. This approach helps students develop the critical thinking skills needed for long-term success.

I offer a free 30-minute trial session to ensure we're a good match. My teaching style combines the creative problem-solving emphasis of AoPS with the rigorous understanding needed for advanced coursework. Whether your child is showing early mathematical promise or you're a college student seeking support in advanced courses, I provide the guidance needed to reach your full mathematical potential.
