Tufts student studying applied mathematics.

Jennab K.

I am currently pursuing a degree in Applied Mathematics and Quantitative Economics at Tufts University, where I continue to strengthen my foundation in mathematics, statistics, and analytical problem-solving. Throughout high school, I challenged myself with a rigorous curriculum and earned top scores on several Advanced Placement exams, including a 5 in Calculus BC, a 5 in Statistics, a 4 in Physics, and a 4 in English Language. I also scored a 1500 on the SAT, reflecting my strong quantitative and verbal reasoning skills. These experiences not only solidified my academic strengths but also deepened my appreciation for helping others understand complex material in clear, approachable ways.

I have several years of informal and volunteer tutoring experience, working one-on-one with peers and younger students in subjects ranging from algebra and calculus to writing and test preparation. My teaching approach centers on identifying the student’s current level of understanding, breaking down difficult concepts into manageable steps, and reinforcing learning through real-world examples and consistent practice. I prioritize patience, clarity, and encouragement, helping students build both confidence and independence in their studies.

I have primarily worked with middle and high school students, creating personalized strategies that match each learner’s pace and style. Whether I am guiding someone through the logic of a math problem or helping them prepare for standardized tests, I focus on developing long-term problem-solving skills rather than short-term memorization. My goal as a tutor is to help students not only improve their performance but also find enjoyment and confidence in the learning process.
