Bio

Hi, I'm Miriam. I am pursuing a PhD in polymer science and engineering at UMass Amherst!

I received a dual degree in chemical engineering and mathematics (statistics and applied math) at University of Massachusetts Amherst, Commonwealth Honors College. I recieved Chancellor's Scholarship throughout my entire undergraduate program. I lived in South Korea, Australia, Canada and I moved to America in 2012. I can interact with students from various cultures. I am patient and open-minded....

Hi, I'm Miriam. I am pursuing a PhD in polymer science and engineering at UMass Amherst!

I received a dual degree in chemical engineering and mathematics (statistics and applied math) at University of Massachusetts Amherst, Commonwealth Honors College. I recieved Chancellor's Scholarship throughout my entire undergraduate program. I lived in South Korea, Australia, Canada and I moved to America in 2012. I can interact with students from various cultures. I am patient and open-minded.

One of the most powerful skills I have as a tutor is that I am able to explain the content in depth as well as teach the student the test strategies. I learned math from South Korea and America. In South Korea, speed and accuracy are two most significant skills for getting good grades in tests. In America, learning step by step but making sure to understand the concept deeply is the important thing. Therefore, I learned math deeply and always had extra time left in exams. I would like to share my math skills and strategies to students who are struggling with math and see their progresses.

I've been tutoring math (algebra 1 to calculus 1, 2 and SAT, ACT math, IB SL/HL Math, MYP math) since March, 2014 and so far I have tutored over 300 students. They all have experienced a significant grade improvement: D to A-, B- to A+ and etc. I worked as a teaching assistant for Calculus 1 in Fall 2015 and for ChemEng120 Fundamentals in Spring 2016 at UMass, Amherst. I have been volunteering at a local high school (Amherst Regional High School) as a teaching assistant for precalculus honors and AP BC calculus since 2013.

I worked at Polymer Science and Engineering Lab as an undergraduate researcher from 2017-2019. My project was on learning the sequence effect on mean translocation time on multi-block copolymer through a nanopore.

Great tutor for Korean language!

Miriam is helping me with learning Korean. We had a great session. She was very helpful with pronunciation and explaining how to read. We worked with books I had purchased and I feel like we made great progress.

Lora, 1 lesson with Miriam

Very helpful tutor!

Miriam is a phenomenal tutor. She is knowledgeable, patient and personable. She not only knows the material, but also is an effective teacher. She was able to figure out where and why our child was struggling in pre-calc and quickly helped him get back on track. She was very responsive to scheduling requests and communicated with us clearly throughout. She helped our child regain confidence in his math abilities. We are very grateful. We were lucky to have found her.

Help with Algebra II

Miriam was patient and very knowledgeable of the subject she taught my daughter this week. She asked clear questions and provided constructive, concise answers to all of our daughter's needs and problems. She took the time to patiently review and work out any and all exercises until both were satisfied that the lessons were understood. She also had an upbeat personality and was very easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend her for Algebra II and any other math subjects she has expertise in.
