Acme Math Tutoring
About
I deeply understand that nurturing interests is a prerequisite for comprehension. I would always find the most creative and useful teaching methods to spark interest, even if it means that I am teaching them very differently from how I was taught.
I enjoy seeing the unconcealable smiling face of my student when they solved a problem without my instruction the first time. I derive joy from teaching students to become the best version of who they are.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Before working with the student, I would like to have a session to talk to the student, so that I know their foundation and how to set up the pace. Then, I would ask them to provide a textbook that they prefer to use in class.
Before each class, I would plan out the material and set up my goals during the session. Typically, I won't give homework to the student after class, but I would give them optional practices on the book in case they need to.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a freshman student majoring in Computer Science at Northwestern University. Before college, I am a teacher assistant for all the STEM-related courses in high school. My works involve but are not limited to making test questions, giving lectures, demonstrate labs, give extra practices for students, as well as providing tutoring sessions after school. I am currently tutoring three high school students in Pre Calculus and Economics (online).
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Any price would work ranging from $20-30 per hour.
How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching by being a mentor for a First Lego League competition team in high school. It is from that experience I realized how much I enjoy teaching.
What types of students have you worked with?
I believe that it's the student that selects his favorite teacher, not the teacher that selects the student. I am able to work with all kinds of students, as long as they join the class on time / prepared.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
The student should as developed questions tied to the textbook (ask "What is the relationship between supply and demand" instead of "I don't get this"). I understand that students might ask questions that are already answered in the textbook. As long as they are actively searching for their answers on their own, I am happy to answer them.
