"I'm Leo, a UCLA Honors College graduate with a proven track record of helping students excel across STEM and humanities subjects. For over six years, I've taught students privately and in classroom settings, from elementary school through college, specializing in sciences (physics, chemistry, biology), mathematics (algebra through calculus), writing, and standardized testing (SAT, LSAT, and SSAT).
At UCLA, I double majored in philosophy and economics while leading UCLA's largest sustainability organization and advising the UC system Chief Sustainability Officer. My professional roles include positions at the EPA and Nestle, and most recently, as Head of Growth at a social-media startup. I've been accepted to Harvard Law School's class of 2029 through their Junior Deferral Program.
Having navigated competitive magnet schools and early college programs before UCLA, I understand the pressures students face in demanding academic environments. My goal is to help students build both their academic capabilities and resilience to setbacks as they work toward their goals. My students consistently improve their grades by at least one letter grade, and report increased confidence in their problem-solving abilities. I tailor my teaching methods to each student's learning style, emphasizing both conceptual understanding and practical application.
Available for both one-on-one and small group sessions. I welcome questions about my teaching approach or experience with specific subjects.
