As an experienced math tutor with a PhD in Mathematics from Florida State University, I am dedicated to providing a rich learning experience for my students. I have taught various math subjects, including pre-algebra, Calculus I-III, and competition-level math such as AMC8, AMC10, and MATHCOUNTS. I prioritize problem-solving skills and critical thinking, guiding students to achieve awards in these competitions.

In my private tutoring sessions, I personalize instruction to meet each student's needs and learning style. I create an engaging and supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to ask questions and explore challenging concepts. My goal is to help students grasp math concepts effectively and develop a love for the subject.

During my time as an instructor at Florida State University, I designed engaging lesson plans to encourage student participation and facilitate deep understanding. I incorporated real-world examples to make math relatable and practical.

As a research scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Lab, I apply critical thinking and problem-solving skills to analyze complex data. This experience allows me to bring real-world applications into my teaching, inspiring students to think critically and connect theory with practical problem-solving skills.

I emphasize active learning, problem-solving, and effective communication in my tutoring approach. By utilizing various teaching strategies and resources, I make math engaging and enjoyable. I maintain open communication with students and parents, providing progress updates and creating personalized learning plans.

In summary, my experience, strong content knowledge, and dedication to teaching math make me well-suited to guide students toward success. I am committed to fostering a positive and rewarding tutoring experience, empowering students to excel in mathematics and develop critical thinking skills.
