About

Hi there! I'm Hotaru — a high school student from the U.S. with a big passion for learning and plans to pursue a career in medicine. I love breaking down tough concepts and helping others feel confident in what they’re learning.

I tutor all levels of math (up through calculus) and also enjoy working with students on reading and writing — especially as an editor on the Schoolhouse Blog Team! I'm (mostly!) fluent in Japanese, so I'm happy to support language learners as well.

When I’m not tutoring, you’ll probably find me reading, running, or baking something sweet. :)

⭐ AP Calculus Kickstart: A Quick Crash Course Before School Starts!

    2nd session

If you're about to start an AP Calculus class this school year and want a head start, this crash course is a great way to hit the ground running! We'll break down the three most important concepts—limits, derivatives, and integrals—into simple ideas, tackle real AP-style problems together, and build the confidence you need to walk into class ready to go. I'm a student who scored a 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam last year (and helped a bunch of my classmates along the way, haha), and I designed this series to share what helped me truly understand the material, especially for beginners or anyone feeling nervous about calculus. No experience needed beyond precalculus—we’ll start from the beginning!

Thank you so much for the session! You're explanations were great and made learning a lot easier. I also appreciated the time you gave us to complete each practice question. The Khan Academy extra work is helpful too!
