As someone who recently navigated high school and is now a college student at Duke University majoring in Biology and minoring in Math, I know firsthand how overwhelming academics—and especially math—can feel at times.

As someone who recently navigated high school and is now a college student at Duke University majoring in Biology and minoring in Math, I know firsthand how overwhelming academics—and especially math—can feel at times. I remember staying up late trying to master tough calculus problems or reviewing statistics concepts before an exam. But I also remember how good it felt when things finally clicked. That experience is exactly what I bring into my tutoring: not just the knowledge, but the understanding of what students are going through right now.
In high school, I earned a perfect score on the SAT Math section and scored a 5 on AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, and AP Statistics. I’ve worked hard to keep building on that foundation in college, and I now enjoy helping other students do the same. I’ve tutored peers, younger students, and friends over the years—whether it’s preparing for an AP exam, building confidence in a class, or simply learning how to study more effectively. Because I’ve recently been in their shoes, I know how to explain things in a way that actually makes sense and feels approachable.
What sets me apart as a tutor is that I don’t just focus on the content—I focus on the student. I try to make every session feel less like a lecture and more like a conversation with someone who gets it. My goal is always to help students not only improve their grades or test scores, but also to feel capable and confident in their own abilities.
