# Tutoring

## Sessions

I started tutoring in high school and never thought to stop. Since then, I've worked with over 300 students, with an emphasis on students studying at or above the level of AP Calculus AB/BC. In particular, I specialize in highly gifted younger students studying far above their grade level -- for example, I've tutored many students in Math Academy, a radically accelerated math program in which highly gifted students master AP Calculus BC in 8th grade and university-level courses in high school. Here are some particularly notable examples of students I've worked with:

 Colby is a high school student who is studying math at the college level through Math Academy. We started working together when he was a freshman taking linear algebra / multivariable calculus. In the first month of school, he began to fall behind in these classes -- but we met weekly throughout the entire year, and by the end of the course he received not only an A on his transcript, but also the highest score in the class on the final exam. We continued working together through his sophomore year, during which he received another A and the second-highest score on his abstract algebra / differential equations final.
 Jordan was a middle school student who, at the age of 12, decided that he wanted to skip high school and enter straight into college to study physics. In order to apply to the Early Entrance Program at Cal State LA, he needed to take the ACT. After meeting weekly with me for 8 months, his ACT math score jumped 12 points from a 16 to a 28, and he was accepted into the program.
 Malcolm is in 6th grade and is studying AP Calculus BC. We started working together when he was 8 years old -- he spent hours on end conducting his own arithmetic experiments, and I helped him state his results using formal mathematical notation. Our discussions quickly ventured into algebra, and before we knew it, we had covered most of high school math. Currently, we are working through AP Calculus BC with a bit of probability thrown in.
