About

Hello! I TA'ed a few computer science classes at MIT, and I've also been teaching math for 1+ years—mostly competitive math (AMC, MATHCOUNTS, etc.) but some high school math too. Excited to tutor at Schoolhouse! 😀

Featured Feedback

Thank you for the explanation! :) I really liked how you simplified the problem to something that can be easily solved without using fancy trig ratios!

Yes, there is evidence of this through the tutor answering questions. For example, when the learner asked about velocity, you did an amazing job of drawing a rough sketch and explaining it the best you could.

Thank you so much! The session ran very smoothly and I learned a lot about geometric sequences. Looking forward to the next session!!

I liked how you gave examples to the learner in order to discuss velocity, while providing different ways that they might see a problem. You were also clear about where you could help out or what you know relevant to the learner's doubts.
