About
Hello there! I have tutored people in the past and have led discussion sessions for mathematics college courses from calculus I up to linear algebra. I like to keep my mind sharp and I love seeing people get to know and appreciate math as I do.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I get to know them first! I want to know their motivations and use said motivations to help me help them.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a doctorate in mathematics and currently tutor on the side.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
$40-50 per hour. It went up from before after I got my degree :)
How did you get started teaching?
I started tutoring when I was in high school. I had decent grades and some family friends knew about it. The rest is history.
What types of students have you worked with?
I do 1-on-1 tutoring with mainly high schoolers, but I have also tutored middle schoolers and adults trying to return to school.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Getting a random text from current/former students telling me how well they did with a recent test or finishing their course strong always makes my day.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
You never know if you click together unless you give them a shot first. In anime, there is this thing called the 3-episode rule, where you watch the first 3 episodes to get a feel for the show before committing. The same could be applied to tutors.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
They should try to make their questions as concrete and specific as possible. Teachers are not omniscient: they won't know what you need and how to remedy your needs unless you're clear about them.
