Hello! My name is Vi, and I tutor in subjects K-12. My areas of specialty include Maths, Sciences, and Spanish. My experience comes from working in Kumon centres as well as helping my peers in high school and college. I hold a Bachelors of Science in Neuroscience from The Ohio State University. Tutoring has always been a way for me to unwind from a stressful day, because, for me, there is nothing more rewarding than helping students reach their potential.
Mathematics has always been my passion, and if I had more time, I would be majoring in mathematics as well. I am well versed in teaching mathematics, but I specialise in teaching the skills required for the levels present in the ACT Maths section. In high school, I had received a 36 in the ACT Math section after forgetting my calculator in the car, so I am a strong advocate for mental maths and strengthening basic calculation skills. Helping students in maths over the course of these past seven years has improved my skills in catering to the specific abilities and goals of each student.
As an avid reader, I have grown to love English for its efficiency and felt drawn to explore linguistics as well. I have studied phonetic theory and basic linguistics in college, and have worked with many international students in Kumon who started with little to no understanding of English. Each person's approach to English can vary based off of their first language. It's important to me that the student feels comfortable trying to speak and write in English since exposure is often the first step in truly experiencing a language.
Whether you are looking for tutoring services for yourself or your child, it's important to choose someone that you feel comfortable with; the hardest part of receiving help is asking for it in the first place. If you schedule a session with me, my only requirements are to have clear communication so that I may help you as best as I can. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions at all. Have a wonderful day!
