About
Helping young kids that are struggling with math makes me the happiest. For the past two years, I have been helping elementary and middle school children with their homework and their basic understanding of different topics. My dream is to inspire children to love math and think creatively. I believe that in order to engage the student, it is important to incorporate their interests into the class and make connections to mathematics. Additionally, I believe that visual learning is the best way for students to learn. This method is just as effective under remote learning circumstances.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
During the first lesson, I typically discuss the student's areas of difficulty with the parents. Additionally, I like to learn about the students' study methods and what works best for them. My goal is to establish a healthy work environment and to engage the student. I believe that the most important step for success is to master the basics. Therefore, I always start the lesson by giving the student simpler problems, which become more challenging as the student becomes more comfortable with the topic.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Currently, I am a junior in High School Taking AP Calculus. I am a 4.0 student and I have always been at the top of my class for math. I took Algebra 1 in seventh grade, Algebra 2 in eighth grade, geometry in ninth grade, and precalculus in tenth grade.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I am willing to negotiate the price, regarding the amount of classes that the student signs up for.
How did you get started teaching?
I began to tutor younger students due to a program established by my school.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with students from grades 1-8.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
One of my students was receiving very poor grades. However, after meeting with her for two months, she has gone from a C to an A student with a more positive attitude.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Patience is key. The most important thing to remember when struggling is that practice and hard work will pay off.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Students must think about every possible way to deduce a problem on their own. A teacher is there to guide the student, but it is the student that truly must find the answer on their own.
