I have always been driven to share my own passion for learning. While I was in high school, I tutored my peers after school. At college, I continued tutoring, but I also taught a class to middle-schoolers for a semester. Now, professionally, I teach seminars on Government and Politics. I went to Tulane University where I triple majored in Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics, and Philosophy. I tutor STEM topics, government, and test prep. My philosophy of education is that everyone is unique and must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow. It is my desire to create this type of atmosphere where students can meet their full potential. I will provide a motivating environment where students are encouraged to take risks and strive for success. My teaching style is largely as a facilitator helping students overcome their obstacles.

Ying
GRE Tutor • +5 Subjects
Growing up in a very test-driven academic environment in China, I was very passionate about studying and developing effective learning methods. As a result, I had always been one of the best students in my school, despite the fierce competition. Also, I gained a great sense of achievement by helping my classmates in different subjects, such as math, English or general studying guide. I gradually developed an interest in tutoring. In 2008, I was selected to be a translator serving Beijing Olympic Games. I had an honor to share Chinese language and culture to American colleagues from Aramark. One year later, I worked in an international hotel and met people from all over the world. I love working with people! I was offered a full-tuition scholarship in an MBA program in the U.S because of my outstanding GMAT score. I scored 720 out of 800 after one month self-study, without any sort of training. As you can see from my personal experience, I constantly raise my own bar and will be happy to help you do so! I believe learning is a lifetime ability and it will do wonders if you follow the right path. I look forward to working with you!

Frequently Asked Questions
Students typically struggle most with word problems involving rates, work, and mixtures—especially when multiple variables interact. Data sufficiency questions also trip up many test-takers because they require a different logical approach than problem-solving questions. Geometry (coordinate systems, 3D shapes) and probability/combinatorics round out the top pain points. A tutor can identify which specific topics are dragging down your score and build targeted strategies rather than reviewing everything.
The Quantitative section gives you 62 minutes for 31 questions—roughly 2 minutes per question. Many students waste time on hard problems early on, leaving them rushed at the end. A strong approach involves recognizing question difficulty quickly, solving easier questions first, and knowing when to make an educated guess and move on. A tutor can teach you how to spot trap answers, use elimination strategies on data sufficiency questions, and practice with realistic time pressure so you're not panicked on test day.
Data sufficiency questions don't ask you to solve for a specific answer—instead, you determine whether given statements provide enough information to answer the question. This requires a completely different mindset: you're testing logical sufficiency, not calculation. Many students make the mistake of actually solving the problem instead of just checking if it's solvable. Tutors help you master the unique logic framework, practice the five answer choices (A through E), and avoid common traps like assuming you need both statements when one alone is sufficient.
Word problems require translating English into equations, which is where most errors happen. The key is developing a consistent process: identify what you're solving for, define variables clearly, and write equations step-by-step rather than trying to do it all in your head. Common traps include misreading what the question actually asks, forgetting to account for units, or setting up the wrong relationship. A tutor can teach you how to annotate the problem, organize information visually, and check your setup before diving into calculations—this saves time and prevents careless mistakes.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and effort. Students who are weak on fundamentals (struggling below Q35) often see 5-10 point gains by filling knowledge gaps and building confidence. Mid-range students (Q40-45) typically improve 3-7 points by refining strategy and eliminating careless errors. High scorers (Q48+) need precision work on the hardest questions and mental stamina—gains here are often 2-3 points and require consistent practice. The timeline varies, but most students see measurable improvement within 4-8 weeks of focused tutoring combined with regular practice.
Practice tests serve two purposes: diagnostic (identifying weak areas) and performance (building stamina and test-taking rhythm). Early on, take full practice tests untimed to see which topics need work—your tutor uses these results to create a focused study plan. As you improve, take timed sections and full tests to build pacing and endurance. After each test, review every question you missed or guessed on, not just the ones you got wrong. Your tutor can help you analyze patterns (Are you rushing? Misunderstanding question types? Lacking content knowledge?) so you're not just taking tests but learning from them.
Test anxiety on Quantitative often stems from either unfamiliar question formats or lack of confidence in your math skills. Tutoring addresses both by building genuine competence (so you trust your abilities) and exposing you to realistic test conditions repeatedly. When you've solved similar problems dozens of times under timed pressure, the actual test feels familiar rather than threatening. Tutors also teach mental strategies like recognizing when you're overthinking, using process-of-elimination confidently, and knowing it's okay to move on from a hard question. Consistent practice with a tutor transforms anxiety into familiarity.
Beyond strong math knowledge, an effective GMAT Quantitative tutor understands the test's unique logic and strategy—not just how to solve problems, but how GMAT constructs trick answers and tests reasoning under pressure. They should diagnose quickly where you're losing points (careless errors vs. conceptual gaps vs. pacing issues), adapt explanations to your learning style, and teach you to think like the test-maker. They also recognize that GMAT math is about efficiency and strategy, not just correctness. The best tutors combine content expertise with test-specific experience and the ability to build your confidence alongside your skills.
