Hello! My name is Youxuan and I am a first-year math PhD student at NYU’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. In May 2025, I completed my undergrad at NYU in Honors Math and Physics, cum laude. In 2021, I graduated from Phillips Academy Andover as a Tang Scholar.
Kind, diligent and well loved by my students, I am passionate about giving my students all the knowledge, tools and mindset they need to succeed in pursuing their academic and life goals.
I was born in Beijing, China and moved to Long Island, NY with my parents in 2014.

I have worked with a handful of middle- and high-school students who have special learning accommodations from their schools, often from diagnosis of ADHD/Autism, in Math and Reading. We have very positive results such as going from a passing grade to an A- in a few months. I use metaphors, pictures, color-coding and repetition to break down complicated ideas and give you the simplest explanations possible.
I have also volunteered as a teacher of 1st- and 2nd- grade Environmental Science through Sprout Up, a national environmental non-profit at NYU, from 2021 to 2024. In 2024, I was its president.

//Subjects I Teach: K-12 & College Math, High-school & College Physics, English/ESL, SAT/ACT Math and Reading, Mandarin (school curriculum), Mandarin Speaking for adults.
//On a case-to-case basis, I edit writing and tutor simple physical sciences.

//My Stats: SAT1570/1600, AP: Physics C (Mechanics & E&M), Calc BC, Euro. History, Chemistry, Statistics, Macro Econ: 5, 4s. Regents ELA, Geometry, Algebra 1&2, Chemistry, Biology, Envi. Science: A+.

If you are interested, my research interest in PhD is statistics, probability, and applications to atmosphere and ocean science (such as turbulence and climate models)

Knowledgeable and friendly

My son had a great first session and we look forward to many more. Youxuan is very patient and was able to understand his weaknesses and how to help him. She was very encouraging and positive with her suggestions. She is very prompt in her response and was able to accommodate him in very short period.

Anamika, 6 lessons with Youxuan

Knowledgeable and diligent tutor

Youxuan prepared very well. The theme for this class is ecology and she prepared very good slides. My son is so interested in it even not asking for any break during 1 hour time.

Yan, 13 lessons with Youxuan

Knowledgeable tutor!

Youxuan is a great tutor able to quickly review a variety of math topics rather than just specific assignments, quick and easy responses for scheduling as well.

Anvi, 2 lessons with Youxuan

Excellent and knowledgeable tutor

My son has few writing lessons with Youxuan so far. She is very knowledgeable and patient, my son has improved so much in such a short time! She is not just helping him to learn good writing techniques but also inspiring him to love writing! She has recommended a few great books to read and encouraged sharing his favorite writing. I am very happy we find the right tutor and looking to schedule lesson with her in regular basis. I feel she really goes extra miles to offer any kind of support, Youxuan definitely deserves this 5 star rating ! :)
