Tutor Num163991

[Basic situation] I’m a 35-year-old tutor with a University of California, Davis degree in Economics. I specialize in English and Mathematics, and I’m especially comfortable supporting students in international primary school settings. My approach is calm, structured, and practical: I break concepts into clear steps, check understanding often, and build confidence through small wins that compound. My professional background includes working at LinkedIn and Intel, which strengthened my ability to communicate with precision and teach “high-level English” skills—such as vocabulary choice, sentence clarity, tone, and logical structure. Whether a student needs help mastering fundamentals or leveling up their writing and communication, I aim to make learning feel focused, doable, and motivating. [Personal achievements] • Economics graduate (UC Davis) with strong analytical training (problem-solving, reasoning, pattern recognition). • Corporate experience (LinkedIn + Intel) that translates into real-world English: clear writing, strong grammar foundations, and professional communication habits. • Parent to a 5-year-old daughter, and I actively tutor her—so I understand how to teach in a way that’s engaging, patient, and age-appropriate. [Teaching/tutoring experience] I have under one year of private 1-on-1 tutoring experience, and I currently tutor international primary school students in addition to my daughter. I’m comfortable adapting to different school expectations and learner styles—some students need more structure and repetition, while others need challenge and pace. For English, I focus on reading comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, writing clarity, and speaking confidence. For Math, I focus on building strong foundations (number sense, methods, accuracy) while also training students to explain their thinking—because understanding beats memorizing every time.
