"I've tutored for over ten years. I graduated high school with a 4.4 GPA, received my undergraduate degree from UC Berkeley with a GPA of 3.72, my master's with distinction from the London School of Economics and am currently finishing my PhD at the University of Cambridge. When I tutor, I like to start off by emphasizing how interesting things. Kids tend to be curious and if you can relate things to them in a manner they find compelling, they are more willing to engage. This of course, does not mean much when it comes to exams, which is the basis of the schooling system. I therefore remind students that exams are not difficult, they are just a set of questions about things they already know. Pressure is what makes exams difficult and make that very clear. You do not need to know everything; I did much better in school than those that knew more than me simply by staying calm during an exam. Basically, I tell kids my three R's: read, remember, relax.

Learning math is mostly just repetition. The adage “you can’t study for a math test” is wrong. The way you excel at it is to practice, practice, practice. I teach concepts then provide problem set after problem set. I then go over errors and explain why and showed her why they are incorrect. I repeated this until mastery is gained.

If I sound like someone you'd like to have tutor you, or if you have any other questions, please get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you." less...
