About Me

I am a second-year student at University of California, Berkeley, double majoring in science/california/san-francisco">computer science and pure mathematics. I am from Rockville, Maryland, and I went to Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, Maryland, where I was a part of its intensive Science, Mathematics, science/california/san-francisco">Computer Science Magnet Program. I enjoy teaching others what I know and learning what they know in turn.

I have privately tutored (in-home) all ranges of mathematics, from basic arithmetic to multivariable calculus to SAT math (both SAT I and SAT Subject Tests). I have also taught mathematics, writing, and speaking at MathEnglish, an intensive preparatory camp for elementary and middle school students wishing to apply to GT and magnet programs, in Rockville, MD. I have over 6 years of tutoring experience.

I prefer to allow students to come to conclusions on their own. If the question wants a student to use a certain formula, I usually start with the basics and ask the student to derive the formula themselves from what I give them. For example, if a student encounters a question about the quadratic equation, I prefer to let he/she derive the quadratic equation from the completing-squares method so that he/she can understand exactly where the formula comes from and why it is used. Additionally, I welcome information from the student that I do not know, especially if it will further my knowledge and help my teaching.
