"I graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2020 with high honors, earning a degree in Data Science and Statistics. My educational background has equipped me with strong analytical skills and a thorough understanding of mathematical and statistics concepts, which I am passionate about sharing with students.

My tutoring experience primarily focuses on elementary school mathematics, though I am open to tutoring other subjects if provided with a lesson plan in advance.

Before joining Wyzant, I specialized in tutoring elementary school students, particularly those with special needs or from low income communities. This passion arose from my experience freelancing as a school support specialist, where I worked across multiple school campuses throughout the Bay Area, from San Jose to Belmont. My goal is to bridge the gap between these students and the education system by fostering equitable learning opportunities for all.

This year, I have taken on multiple roles in education, serving as both a paraprofessional and a general school support specialist. In these capacities, I have provided assessment, general classroom support, and supervised recess and lunch periods for elementary school students. Before university, I gained experience tutoring young students in piano theory and volunteered as a teaching assistant and babysitter for preschoolers at my church.

Currently, I work full-time as a market research survey programmer at YouGov. Previously, I gained valuable experience at SamTrans/Caltrain, where I specialized in data analysis and market research. These roles strengthen my ability to effectively communicate complex and technical concepts to layman.

I strongly believe in leading with both knowledge and empathy. My tutoring approach involves providing each student with undivided attention and positive reinforcement. I prioritize thorough preparation, ensuring that I have comprehensive lesson plans and example problems designed to reinforce long-term memory." less...
