About Me

Hello! I am a current graduate student in an Applied Mathematics program and an experienced tutor. I recently graduated from Elon University, where I earned my Bachelors in both Mathematics and Religious Studies. Throughout high school and college I have tutored math to many different students - these students range from 2nd graders to nontraditional adult students. I have previously tutored elementary and middle school math, algebra, geometry, precalculus, calculus, and even math covered on standardized testing such as the ACT/SAT. Aside from tutoring many students over several years, I have also worked as an English teaching assistant on a Fulbright grant in Sri Lanka. During this experience, I really learned how to interact with different students and hold a class on my own. Currently, I am a calculus teaching assistant and math tutor at UMD where I am able to gain teaching experience every week. In my free time, I love watching sports and listening to music. Not only are these two things that I love, but I actually completed two research projects in college focused on math and music and math and sports. One of the reasons I love math is because it can be applied to almost anything. Showing students how math can be applied to the real world and how it can be useful in their own lives really helps students stay engaged with the course material. I personally think that any student can do well in their math class with the right help and I am very committed to delivering the best experience possible to each and every student. I am always very patient with students as I understand that learning math can take time and I am prepared to cater to different learning styles. I will work my hardest to ensure that all students receive the best help possible!
