"Hi! My name is Zeyu L. As a computer engineering student at UF, I would like to share my educational background and tutoring experiences with you. I had a 3.82 out of 4 unweighted GPA in high school and a minimum of 3.5 GPA in college. I've learned 4 years of math courses (algebra, trigonometry, precalculus, and calculus 1/2), 4 years of science, 3 years of social studies, and 4 years of English courses. I took 5 AP courses in my junior year and 4 in high school senior year. I passed all of them, with a 5 in both Calculus AB, BC, and Physics C, 4 in both Environmental Science and Comparative Government, and 3 in Computer Science Principles and CSA. (which could all be transferred to college credits). I took the SAT before and I got a highest of 690 and 780 on the English and Math section.

I've been tutoring for 4 years since high school. I started by joining the peer tutoring to help 7th-grade kids with algebra. With simple fraction addition, I always tried to ask what they already know (addition rule/ negative numbers), and guided them step by step. One year later, I joined an online organization called Bored of Boredom to voluntarily tutor online. I met my students there and taught them Precalculus. We had a session every Wednesday. Usually, I made lesson plans ahead of time (like two days before) and stayed in Zoom 20 minutes early. Then I did lectures, took notes, and assisted them with homework and test study guides. Throughout the four years of tutoring online and offline, I strongly believe in my strategy of letting my students teach me, which works well. For instance, after lecturing to my students about fraction addition, I would ask them to solve a similar problem and explain each step to me. From my experience, that is the moment when the kids truly understand the process. And their reactions gave me more confidence in tutoring until now.

I love tutoring kids and helping them succeed in normal courses, AP exams, and the future mindsets, And I look forward to working with you at Wyzant!" less...
