"Hi! I’m a Chicago-based tutor passionate about helping motivated students reach their academic goals — whether that means tackling complex math and computer science topics or working together to boost high school or college entrance exam scores.
I earned a perfect score on the CPS Selective Enrollment exam, graduated from Walter Payton College Prep, scored a 34 on the ACT, and graduated with honors from the Boston College School of Management with a degree in Information Systems. After spending four years in quantitative finance, I’m now back in school working towards a Master's in Computer Science!
I’m a lifelong learner who loves puzzles and problem-solving, which naturally led me to the world of math and computer science. My teaching style focuses on clarity and structure. We'll break complex ideas into clear, conquerable steps and focus on understanding why things work — not just memorizing formulas or shortcuts. This turns overwhelming problems into structured, achievable goals, develops a fundamental understanding of each topic, and builds real confidence along the way.
I’m patient, supportive, and focused on helping students become independent thinkers. For test prep, I combine content mastery with timing strategies and confidence-building — often the missing piece for high-achieving but anxious students. Whether you’re aiming for a selective high school, improving ACT/SAT scores, navigating a challenging math or CS course, or just naturally curious, I tailor each session to your goals and learning style." less...
