I love math and physics, particularly as it relates to geology. Ask me about rocks in my spare time! Also a casual American history and constitutional/political buff. APUSH Text: Henrietta Calculus Text: Stewart Physics Text: Knight

I am constantly looking for opportunities to learn new things. Additionally, in my spare time I enjoy reading, board games, and rock climbing. I am excited to work as a tutor once again in order to give students a chance to learn one-on-one to get a deeper and more clear understanding of their study material. By having the ability to clear up confusion with material every week via a tutor, the student will find it easier in the future to build on these concepts and to keep up with work as it gets more challenging.
During my Bachelor's studies at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, I was a mathematics and statistics tutor for a year, which I greatly enjoyed. I am currently a fourth-year Ph.D. student studying mathematics at the University of Florida. During my Ph.D. at the University of Florida, I was a teaching assistant for Calculus I, Calculus II, and Precalculus, and I was an instructor for a section of Calculus I. These experiences helped me develop my tutoring skills. Many students see math as a set of formulas that they can apply to the problems on their exams and homework. However, I feel that this way of thinking not only stifles true understanding, but also makes students' lives harder. My teaching philosophy is that if a strong conceptual understanding is built, then students will be well-equipped to answer any question that they can be asked. When I tutor, I make sure that students develop this foundation first and foremost.
I'm a very positive person, so keeping a student excited about learning is not hard for me. I also like to reward my students when they've accomplished something.
I am a graduate of the University of Florida's PhD program in the Microbiology and Cell Science Department. Since graduation, I have worked for a startup company studying neurodegenerative biomarker uptake by immune cells in the peripheral blood during neuroinflammation. While I tutor a variety of subjects, my main passions lie in biology, microbiology, and chemistry. I believe it is important for students to not only learn the subject material but also to discover how they learn in general and how they can learn to take assessment tests efficiently.
I'm passionate about helping students build confidence, improve their scores, and make challenging material feel manageable. I specialize in SAT preparation and AP subjects, tailoring each session to the student's individual strengths and goals. Whether we're mastering difficult concepts, improving test-taking strategies, or working on timing, my goal is to make learning clear, engaging, and results-focused.
I am a graduate of Cornell University and received a Bachelor of Arts in Music. Currently, I am working as an Assistant Director at a preparatory school managing and teaching students simultaneously. In the recent years at the school, I have been focusing more on the Reading portions of standardized tests but have at times assisted students in the math and science portions as well usually one-on-one. I strongly believe that every students has their own style of learning and must learn at their own pace. Although, sometimes giving them too much leeway may not always be the best solution, I am there to also provide encouragement and challenge to make the learning process enjoyable and beneficial. Apart from work, I do enjoy reading, jogging, exploring New York City, and playing the violin during my spare time.
I'm excited to be tutoring again.
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. Currently, I am in the master's program at the University of New Mexico where I am continuing my education in philosophy. Ultimately, I hope to go on to earn a PhD in Philosophy so that I can continue engaging in my passions for learning and teaching. While in school, I have spent countless hours coaching high school speech and debate both in person and working online with students across the country. My focus in coaching has been to emphasize philosophy and critical thought to prepare students to think through novel arguments on their own. I am passionate about teaching and tutoring because I love seeing students learn to be intellectually independent and think through problems on their own terms by developing their critical thinking skills. I have devoted my life to education because I am passionate about it, and I try to share some of my passion for learning with the students I work with. I tutor all sorts of Standardized Tests, and I particularly enjoy working on logic-based problems like analogies and math sections. When I am not tutoring or reading for school, I enjoy strategy games (both board games and video games), listening to music, hiking, playing basketball, and just relaxing with friends.
I'm passionate about helping students understand challenging concepts and build confidence in their problem-solving skills. I have over six years of tutoring experience in math, statistics, and programming, working with students at different levels and learning styles. I focus on breaking complex topics into clear, manageable steps and adapting each lesson to the student's needs, goals, and pace. My goal is for students to understand not just the answer, but how to get there independently.
I have always loved school and have always had a passion for helping others. From a very young age, I especially loved to read, not only for myself but to others. I look forward to working with students and helping them to reach their goals, whatever they may be.
I'm patient, personable, and have an incredible gift for explaining things in a way that makes sense. I majored in Math Education (with a minor in Computer Science), and I have more than eight years of experience teaching math and other STEM subjects.
I like helping students. I am very patient. I have experience teaching Calculus classes at the University of Miami. I have done private tutoring for all levels of math up to Calculus, as well as Statistics, Business Math, and Math Finance. I have worked in the actuarial field. I have an undergraduate degree in mathematics from Michigan State University and a Master's degree in mathematics from the University of Miami. I worked for The Princeton Review as a tutor for the SAT. I did very well on both the SAT and ACT, and like teaching students how to do better on those. I like history, too, and always find it fun to tutor history.
I primarily tutor a lot of math classes. Anything from elementary school through undergrad. High school Geometry? Yep! Real Analysis? Absolutely! Python? Not quite math, you tricky person, but sign right up. I tutor a bit of physics and computer programming as well. Test prep, too. But who am I? I am a math music philosophy nerd. I love Gauss almost as much as I love Bach and I love Bach almost as much as I like Hegel. So chat to me about that stuff if you are so inclined. But you want to just chill and have homework help? That's quite all right, too!

Frequently Asked Questions
The HSPT (High School Placement Test) is a standardized entrance exam used by many private and Catholic schools in the Charlotte area to assess students' readiness for high school coursework. The test evaluates verbal skills, quantitative reasoning, reading comprehension, and mathematics—helping schools place students in appropriate academic levels. For students in Charlotte seeking admission to selective high schools, strong HSPT performance is often a key factor in acceptance and academic placement.
Many students struggle with the test's fast pace and the variety of question types, particularly in the verbal section where synonyms and analogies require both vocabulary knowledge and logical reasoning. The quantitative section often challenges students who haven't yet mastered fractions, decimals, and multi-step problem-solving. Additionally, time management is a significant hurdle—students need to work efficiently without rushing through questions, which personalized instruction can directly address through targeted practice and strategy refinement.
Personalized tutoring identifies your specific strengths and weaknesses rather than following a one-size-fits-all curriculum, allowing tutors to focus intensively on the areas where you need the most improvement. A tutor can adapt pacing, teaching methods, and practice materials to match your learning style—whether you need deeper conceptual understanding or targeted test-taking strategies. This focused approach typically leads to faster skill development and more confident test performance compared to large-group prep courses.
Your first session typically begins with a diagnostic assessment to understand your current strengths, areas for improvement, and test-taking habits. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who will discuss your goals, review your academic background, and develop a personalized study plan tailored to your timeline before test day. This foundation ensures that every subsequent session builds strategically toward measurable improvement on all HSPT sections.
Most students benefit from 8-12 weeks of consistent tutoring leading up to their test date, though the ideal timeline depends on your starting point and target score. Students who begin preparation earlier can work at a more relaxed pace and reinforce foundational skills, while those with less time may focus on high-impact strategies and targeted practice. Your tutor will recommend a specific schedule during your first session based on your needs and test date.
Score improvement varies based on your starting point and effort level, but students who work consistently with a tutor typically see meaningful gains—often 10-20% improvement in their composite scores. The most significant improvements usually come from targeted work on weak areas and developing efficient test-taking strategies that reduce careless errors. Your tutor will track progress through practice tests and adjust the study plan to maximize your potential by test day.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have deep knowledge of HSPT content, question formats, and test-taking strategies. Tutors typically have strong backgrounds in mathematics, verbal reasoning, and reading comprehension, with proven experience helping students prepare for standardized tests. When you get matched with a tutor, you can review their background and expertise to ensure they're the right fit for your specific needs.
Tutoring rates vary based on the tutor's experience level, your location in Charlotte, and the frequency of sessions you choose. Varsity Tutors offers flexible options to fit different budgets—you can start with a few sessions per week or adjust as needed.
