"I’ve been a community college math tutor for ten years, and hold a bachelor’s degree from the University of Southern California. I have experience tutoring students one-on-one as well as facilitate group study sessions. As a Supplemental Instruction (SI) Leader, I designed and led interactive lessons that reinforced class material and showed students how to build effective study habits. Students who regularly attended session saw 10 percent improvement in their intermediate algebra, precalculus, trigonometry and calculus courses.

I’ve also taught at Mathnasium where I helped students strengthen their math skills and confidence using Mathnasium’s curriculum. I’ve worked with students from elementary school through college so I’m comfortable adjusting my explanations depending on student grade level and learning style.

My teaching approach is interactive and relaxed like a coffee chat because I believe the best learning happens when students are having fun and actively engaging with the subject. I see myself more as a guide in my students’ learning journey (rather than a teacher) because the most important thing to me is that students develop the skills to learn effectively in a way that resonates with them. During our first sessions, we’ll identify student learning needs.

Outside of teaching, I have a goal to go to get a graduate degree in Statistics. I also have a background as a freelance writer. I’m equally comfortable in my analytical, rational, and logical side with my emotive and creative side. This allows me to be technical when needed while also expressing creativity when the situation calls for it. Because of this balance, I can adapt my communication style to different audiences and bring a unique perspective that helps me connect with students and communicate concepts clearly.

Mistakes are part of learning, and I encourage students to stay curious and persistent. Math, like a language, becomes clearer with practice and immersion. Let’s make it make sense together!" less...
