About
I am experienced in tutoring all areas of Math, including Algebra, Calculus, Statistic, Geometry, Trigonometry, and College Math. My minor degree from college is Math teacher. I have taught Math to undergraduate University students and in High School. Also, I tutored Math from elementary/middle school to high school and college. As a professional, I worked for defense contractors, telecom, and Wall Street.
I always enjoyed tutoring math. My approach is to direct student, so they can think and find solutions themselves. More importantly, students can learn the methodology of approaching and solving problems in general. My students improved grades for 1-2 points. Passed ACT with scores 35, and 36 (out of 36).
