"I am an undergraduate Neuroscience student at UT Austin with a strong academic background in mathematics, currently tutoring Algebra I, Geometry, and SAT Math. I’ve developed my teaching skills through extensive volunteer tutoring at Khan Academy Schoolhouse, where I led virtual sessions focused on breaking down complex math concepts into clear, digestible steps. My experience spans over two years, during which I’ve worked with middle and high school students in one-on-one and small group settings, helping them build confidence and improve their problem-solving skills.

My approach to tutoring emphasizes understanding over memorization. I encourage students to ask questions, think critically, and connect concepts across topics—for example, how geometry principles can strengthen logical reasoning for standardized tests like the SAT. I use real-world examples, visual aids, and guided practice to reinforce lessons, while tailoring each session to the student’s pace and goals. Having prepared for and excelled in the SAT myself, I also focus on time-saving strategies, test-taking techniques, and ways to approach tricky problems efficiently.

Tutoring has shown me the value of patience and adaptability. Whether a student is struggling with quadratic equations or wants to boost their SAT score, I’m committed to helping them succeed by creating a supportive and engaging learning environment. I believe that with the right guidance, any student can not only improve their math skills but also gain the confidence to tackle academic challenges beyond the classroom." less...
