...I’ve been tutoring online for four years, and focus especially on SAT test prep, math through Precalculus (specifically elementary, Algebra, and Geometry), and Chinese. I scored a 1590 on the SAT (790 English, 800 Math) and can help students familiarize with the content and plan strategies to do... (read more)
...I was part of the biotechnology process engineering center at MIT. I've tutored number theory since 2001. I also learned and used combinatorics and discrete probability theory in graduate school for research. (read more)
...My Ph.D. thesis had an exact, constrained enumeration as its springboard into statistical calculations. In order to simplify the resulting complex statistics, I reduced the problem to a graph for which I developed a kinetic model. I simulated kinetics on the graph and solved the eigenvalue problem associated with a matrix chosen to approximate the graph. (read more)
...This allows a student to spot incorrect answers that may initially be appealing but that are inconsistent with some element of the text (or that are simply not justified by the text). I think the new SAT is a clear improvement over the old test and preparing for it helps students raise their rea... (read more)
...I've kept up-to-date with Coursera courses on quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics for ongoing education. I've been teaching pre-calc and calculus on Wyzant now since 2014, and I'm very kind and patient. I try to make sure everyone has the basic skills down well so they don't get lost in solving problems that build on top of those skills. (read more)
