Math Tutor & Dental Student: SAT/ACT Math, Algebra, Calculus

Shirley J.

I am a current dental student at the University of Washington School of Dentistry, with a strong academic background in mathematics and science. Math has always been my favorite subject, and I excelled in advanced coursework including AP Calculus and SAT/ ACT math. My analytical training in dental school further strengthens my problem-solving skills and attention to detail, which I bring into every tutoring session. I tutor SAT Math, ACT Math, and high school to early college–level math with a focus on building both confidence and mastery.

I have experience working one-on-one with students ranging from middle school through high school, helping them prepare for standardized tests as well as succeed in their math classes. I break down complex problems into clear, manageable steps, teach effective test-taking strategies, and adapt my explanations to each student’s learning style. I aim to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes as part of the learning process.

In addition to math tutoring, I enjoy mentoring students who are interested in pursuing careers in dentistry. As someone who has navigated college coursework, standardized exams, and the dental school application process, I can offer guidance on academic planning, study strategies, and career exploration. Whether your goal is improving math performance, boosting SAT or ACT scores, or learning more about a future in dentistry, I am committed to helping students achieve their goals with clarity and confidence.
