"Hi, I’m Nephi! I’m a mathematics and ACT tutor with a degree in applied mathematics from BYU, along with minors in computer science and physics. I’ve also studied Japanese and plan to take the JLPT N2 exam this December.

I’m especially passionate about helping students succeed in mathematics and on standardized tests like the ACT. I scored a 35 composite on the ACT through self-study, and I believe the strategies I used can be tailored to help other students reach their full potential as well.

While I’m newer to formal math tutoring, I’ve spent a lot of time helping peers and family members understand challenging math concepts. My first real experience teaching came when my younger brother got a concussion and needed help catching up in his math class. That experience completely changed how I viewed learning — from being competitive and grade-focused, to seeing how rewarding it is to help someone grow in their ability and confidence.

I’m currently preparing to apply to PhD programs in mathematics, and I love exploring the "why" behind math—not just the steps, but the ideas. I aim to bring that same mindset to my tutoring sessions, creating a space where students feel encouraged and equipped to take on new challenges.

Whether you’re working toward a high ACT score, trying to strengthen your math foundation, or even learning Japanese, I’d love to support your journey. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a session!" less...
