About

I recently graduated with a B.S. in Industrial & Systems Engineering from University of Washington, where I've had to take one or more math classes each quarter. Therefore, I've been doing math nonstop since I started school back in first grade.

I worked as a Research Assistant for the Navy with a professor from UW during undergrad where I developed algorithms to predict part obsolesence using statistics and calculus.

In addition, I completed an internship for an aerospace manufacturing company, and currently work in supply chain/operations. Both of these jobs require continuous use of math and working with others.

I grew up entering math competitions and ended up being a tutor in the subject during high school. As my family moved often, it was sometimes difficult to follow the curriculum at new schools, therefore I had to learn to pick up the pieces I was missing on my own. This helped me find useful tricks and tips to help understand math better. Can't wait to help others do the same!

I love hearing students have that "aha" moment when they finally understand what is going on with a certain topic. Math can be extremely helpful once it's understood. It's the basis of other sciences and subjects, such as chemistry, computer schience, busniess, etc. I'd love to help out others get as many "aha" moments as possible!

I have had many tutors in middle and high school but none of them have carried me through the finish line during a school year as Patricia, my tutor has. Once I joined college i was a bit ashamed on how I was lacking in a strong foundation of math skills in the first place - I didnt know what questions were sensible to be asking or how to follow along in class anymore. I struggled with my statistics course and grew worried that I would not be able to pass a requirement for my major. I couldnt follow along in class but my tutor really took her dedication to teach me how to absorb information and retain it. She walked me trough processes with patience and ease going at a pace that was comfortable with me. It helped me immensely how focused to get us through my questions but she was but also paid attention to where I was concerned and where I was enjoying the process. She catered to my understanding of the material and I felt so supported. She helped me learn the right questions to ask and passed along to me tactics that helped her retain information and what helped her pass all her engineering courses. She was personable and communicated amazingly. Again, Ive had many tutors but Patricia was extremely relatable and understood EXACTLY the college math level environment and helped me feel the most prepared Ive had for a math class.

Patricias was an amazing help! She helped explain everything in a much simpler and understandable way. The examples she gave were all laid out step by step which made it easy to follow and she explained it as well. She made it easy for me to learn the material. With her help I managed to get a B in my calculus class!

Frequently asked questions

Start by getting an understanding of their current knowledge and desired goals, then work together to build a program that works best for them.

I'll be doing the tutoring online where I can help through video chat, phone calls, text, provide short video tutorials, list of tips & tricks, give proctice problems, step-by-step solutions, etc. Whatever makes the person learn best. I aim to provide visuals or simple explanations to break down bigger concepts.
