Private tutor in San Jose, CA

Education

I am a recent graduate from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, with a major in applied math and a minor in computer science and data science. My GPA is 3.9, thus I graduated Summa Cum Laude. I received an award from the department of Mathematics for being one of the top two graduating seniors.

Experience

As a math major, I have learned the rigorous proofs of all theorems involved in the high school curriculum (including calculus). Thus, my understanding of math goes beyond the standard "plug and chug" many people retrieve to when problem-solving. At the same time, I am able to offer up tips and tricks to making a difficult question easier to understand. As for standardized tests such as the ACT and SAT, I scored a 36/36 for the ACT math and an 800/800 on the math SAT subject test (both perfect scores). Just last month, I took the GRE and scored a 170/170 on the quantitative, 164/170 (94th percentile) on the verbal section, and 5.5/6 (98th percentile) on the writing portion. Since this type of test is very fresh in my mind, I can offer advice as well as practical skills to get your scores above the 90th percentile. In the past 6 years, I have tutored calculus (both college level and high school), pre-algebra, algebra, and geometry. I am experienced in all high school math material, and can also help with statistics and computer science. Whether you're struggling with your college application, standardized exams, or any math class, I can help!

Hobbies

I am a huge animal lover and try to volunteer as much as possible at local animal shelters. I have fostered dogs and also have my own cats. I also enjoy painting and woodworking! I speak three languages and enjoy traveling (before COVID of course). I was a gymnast for many years and now I enjoy hikes and other outdoor activities.
