High School and College Mathematics Tutor

Austin K.

Hi! I'm Austin, and I'm at Brown University, class of 2028. I'm tentatively planning to concentrate in pure mathematics, and also have one year's worth of coursework at the University of Chicago, where I earned a 3.8 GPA over the course of the year. I have experience in basic abstract algebra, analysis on the real line, and analysis of one complex variable (but if there's a more tailored sort of math that you'd like to learn from me, please let me know and I can try to prepare if it's feasible!).
In terms of tutoring experience, I've spent about a total of three years tutoring over my high school years; most notably, I tutored at Forging Opportunities for Refugees in America (FORA), a Chicago-based tutoring center that does exactly what its name suggests: offers tutoring for refugees. To that end, I am experienced in teaching everything ranging from basic arithmetic to around algebra 2 level. Informally, I have tutored friends and peers since as long as I can remember!
Teaching is my passion; I imagine that someday, I will pursue math higher, provided that everything works out. Still, I don't imagine that I will enjoy research so much as I enjoy teaching (of course, this statement may be subject to change if I find out that I genuinely love math research with my entire heart and soul!). I view teaching to be, in a sense, my life's work: it brings me joy to watch students succeed, whether that success is measured materially through GPA or test results, or by satisfaction, like the radiant "a-ha!" moment that is plainly visible on a student's face when they finally grasp a concept they've been struggling with.
I hope that this has provided valuable insight into who I am as a tutor, fellow student, and human. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!
