About Me
I recently graduated from the University of Chicago with a B.S. in Mathematics and Computer Science, earning honors (cum laude) with a 3.88 GPA. In Fall 2026, I will begin a Ph.D. in Mathematics at Georgia Tech. I scored a 1550 on the SAT (790 Math and 760 Reading and Writing) and have a strong background in mathematics spanning algebra, geometry, calculus, probability, and advanced university-level coursework. At the University of Chicago, I served as a grader for an undergraduate probability course, where I evaluated student work and provided detailed feedback on mathematical reasoning and problem-solving. I have also volunteered as a math tutor for middle and high school students, working one-on-one to help them master challenging concepts and build confidence. As a tutor, my goal is to help students develop a deep understanding of the material rather than simply memorize procedures. I encourage students to ask questions, think critically, and work through problems with guidance instead of immediately providing answers. I strive to create a supportive learning environment where students build confidence, become more independent learners, and achieve their academic goals. I particularly enjoy helping students prepare for the SAT, where success comes from both mastering mathematical concepts and developing effective problem-solving strategies. Whether a student is aiming for a higher test score, stronger classroom performance, or greater confidence in math, I am committed to helping them reach their goals.
