Quickly Understand Your Math Class — Not Just Survive It

Tanaka M.

Hiya! I am an honors graduate of Temple University with a degree in Neuroscience and a strong academic background in mathematics and STEM. My coursework includes upper-level biology, chemistry, physics, calculus, and statistics, and I have experience with standardized exams such as the GRE and SAT. My academic and research background has strengthened my analytical thinking, quantitative reasoning, and problem-solving skills.

My background in neuroscience and psychology also informs my understanding of how students learn differently. I adapt my teaching style to each student's needs, strengths, and learning preferences. My approach focuses on breaking complex concepts into clear, manageable steps so students understand why a solution works rather than simply memorizing formulas. I aim to help students build confidence, strengthen foundational skills, and develop strategies for independent learning.

I have worked in multiple research labs at Temple University and currently work full-time as a Research Assistant. These experiences have strengthened my ability to think critically, analyze information, and explain complex concepts clearly. I also have several years of tutoring experience with middle school, high school, and college students, including student-athletes balancing demanding academic and athletic schedules.

Whether a student needs help catching up, reinforcing classroom material, preparing for an exam, or tackling advanced coursework, I strive to create a supportive environment where they feel comfortable asking questions, learning from mistakes, and building a deeper understanding of the material.
