Online High School Math Tutor | Algebra, Geometry & AP Calculus
About
I’m an online math tutor with over 10 years of experience helping students build confidence, strengthen understanding, and perform better in class. I work primarily with high school students in Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Precalculus, and Calculus.
One of the most important things I’ve learned as a tutor is that students do not all learn the same way. As someone who struggled in school when I was younger, I understand how frustrating it can feel when a concept seems obvious to everyone else but not to you. That experience shaped the way I teach. My goal is to present material in a way that is clear, personalized, and easy to apply, while also giving students a safe and encouraging space to ask questions and build confidence.
Over the years, I’ve worked with hundreds of students from different academic backgrounds, learning styles, and personalities. That experience has taught me how to adjust my teaching style to meet each student where they are. I often explain the same concept in different ways until it clicks, because in math, understanding is not always about hearing more — it is often about hearing it differently.
A major part of my tutoring approach is helping students repair missing foundations. In many cases, students are not struggling because they are incapable, but because they missed one or two key ideas earlier on that everything else depends on. For that reason, I often revisit material from previous units or semesters while also helping students keep up with their current class. This allows them not only to complete assignments, but to develop a deeper and more lasting understanding of the subject.
I’m currently a 3rd-year undergraduate at UC Berkeley majoring in Applied Mathematics with a concentration in Computational Biology. I’m also working toward a California single-subject teaching credential in mathematics. Before coming to Berkeley, I attended Irvine Valley College in Irvine, CA, where I graduated magna cum laude with an associate degree in mathematics.
