Fun Facts

I'm a total math nerd and can recite over 100 digits of pi! I also love running and have competed in a number of races in Atlanta, and am currently training for my first marathon. I come from a family of scientists and engineers, and am so excited to one day use my math degree to work on improving and optimizing systems.

About Me

Hi! My name is Sarah and I'm from Houston, Texas. I recently earned a BS in Applied Math from Georgia Tech and will be continuing my education this fall by pursuing a Master's in Operations Research. I have always loved being a student and am excited to continue learning new skills.

I worked at Mathnasium, a math atlanta">tutoring center, for over a year while in high school. After coming to Georgia Tech, I began atlanta">tutoring at Grady High School to help prepare students for standardized tests, including AP Exams. I have also helped numerous friends succeed in rigorous math courses here at Tech.

Most concepts, especially when it comes to math, can be broken down into what a student already knows and is confident in. Once the basics are mastered, new and seemingly scary problems become easier to understand and less frustrating - so I always work backwards and make sure the foundation is solid. Other atlanta">tutoring methods I use include mnemonic devices, repetition, and lots and lots of practice.
