About
As a junior in high school, I have learned what it takes to excel in academics while having good time management. I am a part of the International Baccalaureate Program and Advanced Placement Program at my highschool, which means I know how to work hard. In terms of qualifications, I have maintained a 4.0 unweighted GPA and 4.875 weighted GPA. Currently, I am in Calculus and have gotten A's in all previous math courses.
I enjoy knowing that I made a student more confident in a subject which could potentially lead to their overall success in life.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
The first thing I normally do is get an understanding of the students strengths and weaknesses just in general. This will help me figure out who they are and how I can actually get them to grasp onto various mathematical concepts. I usually use examples to help them build a process that they can use with similar problems.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Being in high school currently means that lower levels of math are still fresh in my brain and I know what the school system currently teaches students. In addition, I have experience in statistics as I have previously been an assistant at a medical office, meaning that I am particularly good with numbers.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge $15 an hour.
How did you get started teaching?
I made flyers to put around my neighborhood for math tutoring because I love the subject. Soon there were a few families that actually started working with me and now I have realized that this could be an actual job that can help me with my college funds.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've worked with all kinds of students. The age range of kids I have helped is around 5-14, meaning that I have taught basic math like addition and subtraction all the way to things like probability and statistics.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I would say to go with someone that is passionate about the subject and excels in it as well. If a teacher is passionate about their subject then they will open a students eyes to see the bigger picture and help them apply their knowledge to the world.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Students should think about what they specifically need help on. If a student says "I need help with math," that is just not enough to let us actually guide them because there must be some things they do know. They should also think about what their goals are because goals are what motivates people to actually improve.
