I graduated as the top student in Mathematics and CS at Southwestern University. I am currently pursuing a PhD in Mathematics at UIUC. I have experience tutoring young children to college students. During a one-year program at Northwestern University, I volunteered at their Math Circles program. There, I helped teach math in fun and interesting ways to five to 13-year-olds. I have a deep love for mathematics, and I hope can share it with others, or at least lessen the pain it can cause.

When I took Calculus in high school, I hated it and thought I would never understand it. In college, I dedicated time to retake the courses and fell in love with the material. I spent four years guiding other students through the courses. Because I struggled, I knew all the places where common mistakes are made and can always reassure students they are not the only ones. I love to create lesson plans and practice exams for students to better help their learning.

On average, students take 9 to 50 sessions.

What do private math tutors do?
