Hello Students and Parents:
My name is Yu and I have a master's in math from the University of Maryland, College Park. I have had almost a decade of tutoring experience in a variety of subjects and I've improved their grades by an average of a letter grade. My talent is taking apart complicated systems and breaking it down into easy-to-explain, simple parts. (read more)
...My approach to tutoring focuses on patience, practice, and curiosity. When I work with a student, I start by learning about their goals their current classes, as well as their experiences leading them. I collaborate with students and their families to tailor a plan for student success. (read more)
...I have taken introductory through advanced course work in linear algebra, at least 9 semester hours. In another 16 hours of related courses (in applied math and statistics) that I have taken, linear algebra was also heavily used. I have also tutored in linear and abstract algebra during the last 3 years. (read more)
...I view tutoring as an effective supplement to in-class lectures, online coursework, etc. rather than as a substitute. Because we're working one-on-one, I can focus on engaging students in active learning, which is often missing in those other educational contexts. I'll help break down confusing topics into smaller, more manageable chunks tailored specifically for each student. (read more)
...Additionally, I completed the entire economics curriculum at the College of William & Mary which included several econometrics courses. I frequently attend economics conferences around the country and present economics research that uses these techniques. STATA is my statistical package of choice. (read more)
