I’ve always been drawn to math and the sciences, especially algebra, calculus, and physics. In high school I earned a 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam and 4s on AP Physics 1 and 2, and I continued studying physics in college through topics such as electricity, magnetism, and waves. I graduated with a degree in mathematics, and later entered the actuarial field, where I passed several Society of Actuaries exams on the first attempt. These exams require strong mastery of calculus, probability, and statistics, and they have helped strengthen both my problem-solving skills and my ability to learn complex topics efficiently.
Throughout school and professional life, I’ve often found myself helping classmates and colleagues understand difficult concepts. Whether explaining calculus methods to peers or helping coworkers interpret statistical results, I discovered that I naturally enjoy teaching. I’ve learned how to break complicated material into clear, intuitive steps, and I’ve always been a strong test taker—someone who likes finding patterns, organizing information, and developing study strategies that make tough subjects feel manageable. These experiences have shaped the way I work with students, especially those who may feel intimidated by math or physics.
My tutoring approach is patient, supportive, and focused on building confidence. I start by understanding where a student is struggling, then work with them to strengthen their foundation and fill in any gaps. I believe students learn best when they feel comfortable asking questions, so I encourage an open, judgment-free environment where we can work through problems together at a steady pace. Whether a student needs help with algebra basics, guidance through calculus or physics concepts, or strategies to improve their test performance, I tailor each session to their goals and learning style. My aim is not just to help students succeed in their current class, but to give them tools they can carry forward into future courses.
