Hello! I am an applied mathematics undergraduate at Harvard University with extensive experience in SAT, traditional, and competitive math instruction. I have a strong background in high school mathematics, with a perfect score on the math section of the SAT (800/800), SATII Chemistry (800/800), and AP Calculus BC exam (5/5). In addition, I have competitive mathematics and computational mathematics experience. Some of my credentials include: Math Prize for Girls at MIT invitee, Jane Street Award winner, Regeneron International Science Fair (ISEF) Finalist, M3 Math Modeling Challenge Finalist, Top 400 girls with aspirations in tech by National Center for Women in Technology, AIME Qualifying, Top 5 female competitive math in FL; honorable mention in USA Mathematical Talent Search, published machine learning research, 1st place talk Chalk Talk in Mu Alpha Theta National.

I have ~5 years of experience in math instruction. My private tutoring clients have ranged from assisting students to prepare for MATHCOUNTSAMC10, AMC12, SAT, AP exams, achieving As in math courses, and gifted Math Olympiad prep for young children. Besides independent tutoring, I served as the president of a statewide math organization, where I organized competitive math instruction and curriculum for 5000 students across 200 schools in Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. I also teach LaTex skills and am a hired test writer for competitive math organizations. I organized and was the head curriculum director for a community program to provide weekly Math Olympiad for Elementary and Middle School (MOEMS) training to students in grades 3-8. Finally, I coordinated and created curriculum for a bootcamp to help students pass the Algebra I EOC, a graduation requirement in many states.

My teaching style is collaborative. I aim to make sure students understand the motivations for certain approaches and reasons that underly fundamental concepts. I also can help students prepare quickly for exams or test prep.
