Teaching Style

I focus on intuition to demystify formulas. I lead with examples to make abstract theory concrete. I motivate material by discussing its purpose upfront. I am flexible, adapting to my tutees' learning styles. I am professional, compassionate and ambitious about your learning.

Why Get Tutoring?

Struggling students

Since each class tends to build on the last, falling behind a little can make your life a lot harder. Tutoring is a great way to keep your head above water. Also, some students struggle in math because they find it boring or dumb. I love math and try to make it exciting for my students by focusing on the cool concepts instead of drilling plug-and-chug procedures. This approach can really help students who don't like math.

Thriving students

I was in this boat myself. I breezed through my classes but regret not being challenged more. That changed in high school. I self-studied pre-calculus and Algebra II so I could take calculus early and then begin dual enrollment. I was able to take 8 classes at Columbia University before finishing high school. If you find your math classes easy, I can create a learning plan that allows you to reach your full potential.

Session Format

I typically guide students through practice problems from their course, answer their questions or introduce them to new topics of their request. But I'm open to any format best serving your needs — feel free to request any style of tutoring you think makes sense for you.

Rate

My standard rate is $100 per hour.
