I hold a K-8 Standard Elementary Teaching License in the state of New Jersey. I have had the pleasure of teaching students of all grade levels pre-K through 8th grade. I currently teach at Silver Run Elementary School located in Millville, NJ. I believe that every child has the ability to be successful in their learning. I work to find what works best for all my students. I am located in Mickleton, NJ. I want to help students who are struggling with their education and help them feel confident in their abilities.

Shamith S. says, "Miss. Mei has been working with us for some weeks now, and Im already seeing big positive changes in my child and I requested her if I could leave her a review. Miss. Mei’s way of interacting with kids, her preparations for every class, her ongoing discussions with parents and her background being an experienced DOE teacher were some of the things that I really liked. She has great strategies. We work together as a team. My child loves her classes and always looks forward to it. Ms. Mei is very encouraging and has a positive outlook. She is sensitive to the overall needs of a child and plans her lessons accordingly. She even took the initiative of collaborating with the school teachers for maximal outcome. I’m very glad that I got in touch with Ms. Mei. I was looking for tutors online and feel very lucky to have found her. A Right teacher at the right time. My best wishes to Miss. Mei." Read more

I graduated from MIT in Civil Engineering. Philadelphia HS for Girls Summa Cum Laude Calculus BC 4. Tutored Math all thru school. I love Math esp geometry. It's fun and applicable everywhere. Math is in Dance, Music, Art, Cooking, Sports, Science, Cars, Colors, Politics, Medicine, everything. I also tutor Biology. I don't know why I love Biology more than all the other Sciences, perhaps because I can see how it applies directly to our daily lives, to our well being and health and safety. I teach HOW to enthusiastically study for FUN such that my students go on to excel all around. I look to the multiple intelligences and various perceptu...

America has been working with my high schoolers in pre calculus and geometry. She is organized and really simplifies her explanations so that students can really understand what they are doing. She is thorough and I couldn’t be happier. She also takes extra steps to make sure they in fact do understand their assignments. My kids feel a lot more confident and less stress starting each week.
