"Dear Potential Student,

Hello, I'm Luan (lu-anne)! I am currently an undergraduate at the University of California, Berkeley, double majoring in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science/Engineering.

I was previously a professionally trained instructor at Kumon and taught K-12 math to students of all ages. During my time there, I loved engaging with students, helping them make their Kumon experience exciting and something they could look forward to. This is something I hope to encourage in students at Wyzant. As a current student, I understand how frustrating and draining online classes/tutoring can be and will try my best to encourage learning while creating a positive and helpful environment.

I am also currently planning on pursuing a teaching credential along with my current majors. Berkeley offers several classes (which I am taking/have taken) on how to be an effective, thought- provoking teacher. I reflect the skills taught during these classes in my own teaching and will cater my teaching style to each student’s specific needs.

I have scored a perfect 800 on the SAT and ACT Math section, a perfect 800 on the SAT Math 2 Subject Test, and have consistently received an A in math as well as physics during high school. I have thorough experience teaching middle school/high school algebra. I have taken 2 years of high school physics, scored a 5 on the AP Physics C test, and am enrolled in several physics classes at UC Berkeley. I believe my teaching strengths lie in high school Algebra, Algebra 2, SAT Math, and Physics (up to AP).

I am always easy to reach via text or through Wyzant; please feel free to reach out with any further questions about me!" less...
