I am an undergraduate student at Vanderbilt University who is pursuing a major in mathematics and a minor in computer science. My experience in tutoring environments entails working at a learning center teaching mathematics and serving as a volunteer in various mentorship and tutoring programs. While I have taught various subjects such as financial literacy and music, I especially love to work with students in mathematics as well as SAT preparation.

In mathematics, I often feel that the way it is taught in schools can cause students to struggle with or lose interest in it. Additionally, a student cannot always have their questions or misunderstandings personally addressed in a classroom which can be particularly frustrating in math. I enjoy getting students excited about mathematics by helping them overcome difficulties in understanding that come from being in such an environment.

As for the SAT, I believe that in my own endeavor to do well on it; I have developed approaches to and understandings of the test that will greatly help students preparing for it. The test can be rather daunting for a student so having someone to guide studying and the development of the skills necessary to do well on the SAT is greatly valuable.

Outside of academics, music is a huge part of my life; I am an avid trumpet player and am part of a music-based fraternity. Additionally, I enjoy hikes and nature walks with my dog, video games, and television shows about cooking.
