About
Hello! I am a first year honors university student pursuing biomedical sciences major with a spanish minor. I happen to be a National Merits Scholar as well.
I may be young, but that doesn't make me any less qualified to teach. It makes me more understanding of the situation at hand and the struggles that one must get through to learn tough math and chemistry. I have many personal and valuable tricks that have helped me learn and remember skills in the long-term.
The reason I am pursuing tutoring is so I can keep my math and chemistry skills sharp while also helping others learn! I love working with others and making learning easy.
It's always so discouraging and sad to see kids who feel down and loose motivation to learn after not understanding a concept due to a failure of teachers to teach well. My mission is to help those students gain confidence and feel smart again!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First time around, I get to know the student! It's important for the student to feel comfortable and every student I believe is unique and their say matters. I want to spend the first time just talking about what parts the student is weak on and we need to work through, as well as the teaching style and pacing.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a student myself and just recently graduated high school, so I know what things are learned in high school as well as personal tricks to learn, remember, and understand math and chemistry.
I voluntarily tutored highschool and middle schoolers for 4 years on math homework and prepare for tests. Students thanked me for helping them do well and chose to study with me when they could! Students and I always get along because I can make things fun and interesting!
I also have younger siblings in middle school and highschool who I also teach math and sciences to sometimes, so I have quite some experience working with younger students.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I am very flexible when it comes to pricing and schedules. We can come to an agreement based on what is being taught. My base pricing is $30-40/hr depending on the difficulty of the subject and pacing. Feel free to contact me if interested or want more info!
For one time or urgent tutoring for help on homework or test review, it's priced $20 for 30 minutes ($40 for whole hour) and I will make myself available asap. Please make sure to specify if it is a one time tutoring you are asking for.
I accept pay through paypal only and you can pay either monthly or weekly in advance.
How did you get started teaching?
When I started doing math competition in high school, there was a math tutoring place where kids could voluntarily teach so I started tutoring there!
