About Me

If you want to learn how to do math and is willing to do the work, then I am your tutor. I graduated from New Jersey Institute of Technology with Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Mathematics. I was trained on solving mathematical equations and doing calculation. My favorite calculus class was Calculus II and my favorite branch within mathematics is Discrete Mathematics. Discrete Mathematic is introduces set theory, probability topics. This course has influenced me in my career. I was a Teaching Assistant when I was doing Undergraduate study. I led weekly recitation periods where I answered students' questions on materials they were learning in class. Those who did well in class were those who were trying to do as much as they understand. I always cheered the students on when they are doing well and encouraged them when I think they need a little help. After college, I went on to work for Prudential where I took Actuarial Exams for my career development. The Actuarial Exams are professional license exams that build on calculus, probability, statistics and advanced statistics topics. I find what I learned in my undergraduate study extremely applicable in my daily work. Currently, I am studying for another actuarial exam. I want to be a tutor where I can inspire students to like math and practice math problems. Everyone who is willing to learn can be good at this subject. It is applying logics in problem solving and these logics are rules where one needs to memorize, but practice repetitively will help the memorization process. I look forward to work with you.
