I can help simplify confusing topics and help students memorize with methods and techniques in mathematics (so many tricks up my sleeves. ;) ).
I've tutored students since 11th grade.
I've helped over 25 high school students to pass community college level math courses with a B or higher.
I was a learning & teaching assistant for one year for calculus 2, as well as tutoring through VR.
I coached a session with mathematically gifted children to help them practice and prepare for a prestigious math contest.
I've aced all my college level calculus classes: calc 1 and 2 in 11th grade, and calc 3 and differential equations in 12th grade.
During my undergrad freshmen year, I was awarded first place and titled Integration Bee Champion 2019 in Reedley College. Then won two more integration bees where I scored perfectly two years in a row.
I love teaching and engaging students in calculus because I love to entertain and reveal how easy and satisfying calculus can be. I joke around a lot and use lots of memes and stuff to create these funny or unforgettable moments for students so that it's more helpful and easier for them to memorize the main concepts of the lesson. I find it very fun to develop as a professor who can make so many students smile while learning; that's true education to me.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I do a little bit of an introduction just to get the new student to feel comfortable. Then handle the problem the student needs.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a B.S. in Mathematics and have about 2-3 years of teaching experience in my life. I am currently in my 2nd year of my grad school working for my Master's degree in Mathematics.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
How did you get started teaching?
I started tutoring math in 11th grade (middle college high school). I volunteered to help tutor and make study guides, practice problems, and simulation exams to help them grasp the concepts and lessons better. I started having fun lecturing and playing around with my peers to help memorize certain formulas and terms. That's where I started to gain a passion in teaching.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with gifted students who pursue in competitive mathematics. But mainly I work with undergraduates and community college students.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I'd say find a teacher who actually loves teaching to see a student's confidence grow and a student's engagement. I've seen so many teachers who can't teach properly, which is why STEM courses are commonly a difficult subject. A perfect teacher would never assign excessive work, make students study very hard, and fail them to learn their mistakes. A perfect teacher would show commitment to serve and make sure that a student can earn every possible help he or she needs; including to fully inspire and encourage students to keep moving forward.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
The only thing I can think of is plan what questions you need to ask or write down every single question you need help understanding with so that when you're done meeting with your teacher, you won't forget questions you forgot to ask and all your problems are answered.
