Experience

I have worked for The Princeton Review, a highly regarded standardized test preparation company, and taught SAT Math, Critical Reading, and Writing to high school students. These students had scores ranging from the 300s to 700s in each section, so I know the right strategies to help students of all different levels. I also tutored math, physics, chemistry, writing, and SAT test prep in high school. - SAT scores: Math (800), Critical Reading (720), Writing (770, 12 essay), Math II (800), Chemistry (800), Spanish (730) - AP scores: Calc AB (5), Calc BC(5), Statistics (5), Chemistry (5), Spanish Language (5), English Language (5), Physics C Mechanics (5), Physics C E&M (5) - Relevant coursework at Princeton: Multivariable Calculus (Calc III), Linear Algebra (Calc IV), Introduction to Statistics, Probability and Stochastic Systems, Introduction to Computer Science, and Optimization. Achieved an A or A- in all of these courses.

Hobbies

I love knowing why things work, not just rote memorization, and teaching others. I am passionate about finding the most straightforward way to explain a topic to someone and make it stick with them. I've mentored people with not just academic topics but also everyday hobbies like exercising and Scrabble. Outside of classes my schedule will be quite flexible this upcoming semester. Since I don't have a car, I would prefer having students come to Princeton University where we can find a library to work, or I could travel to a convenient location like Princeton Public Library.
