I am currently a senior at the University of Texas at Austin and graduated from high school in 2022 earning a 4.0 GPA along with a 1530 SAT (800 Math, 730 Reading) and a 34 ACT (30 Math, 34 Science, 35 English, 35 Reading). Achieving these results taught me that strong outcomes come from effective habits, not shortcuts, and I spent years refining study techniques such as active recall and spaced repetition that helped me learn more efficiently and with less stress. I began tutoring during high school and quickly discovered how meaningful it was to help other students gain confidence in subjects they once found intimidating. I have experience working one-on-one with middle school and high school students in both volunteer and informal tutoring settings, focusing on math, English, and standardized test preparation. My tutoring style centers on patience and clarity, breaking down complex ideas into manageable steps and reinforcing understanding through practice. I place a strong emphasis on helping students understand how to study effectively, rather than relying on memorization alone. I am comfortable tutoring math and English at all levels, as well as SAT Math and Reading and ACT Math and Reading. Having recently navigated rigorous coursework and competitive testing myself, I understand the pressures students face and strive to create a supportive, encouraging learning environment. My goal is not only to help students improve their grades or scores, but also to equip them with study skills and confidence that will benefit them well beyond our tutoring sessions.
