Experience
Hello! I am a professional tutor for San Francisco Unified School District through Tutorpedia Foundation with 6 years' one-on-one teaching experience. My approach to teaching is one of positive empowerment to challenge students to achieve higher. I expect excellence according to the abilities of each student and work to find a match in communication and learning style. Furthermore, as a person who has grown up as the child of immigrants and has worked with people of diverse socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, my teaching style is also one that is culturally sensitive. Additionally, my background in singing, combined with my multilingualism, have helped me to understand the nuances of English grammar, usage, and pronunciation so that I can explain the idiosyncrasies of English to native and non-native English speakers alike! SAT I scores of 1580 (Math: 800 Reading: 780 old exam format) and 2320 (Math: 790 Reading: 780 Writing: 750); SAT II scores of Writing: 800 (old exam format), Math IIC: 800, French: 740, and Chemistry 750.
