As a Stanford graduate with over 10 AP scores of 5 and a deep understanding of both the content and structure of AP exams, I specialize in helping students not just memorize—but master. I’ve worked with students across STEM and humanities subjects to build strong conceptual foundations, improve FRQ writing, and feel confident walking into test day. I create custom study plans based on each student’s learning style and timeline, focusing on clarity, efficiency, and long-term retention. Whether you’re aiming to self-study an exam, need support in a tough AP class, or want to perfect your test-taking strategy, I’m here to help you reach your highest potential—with less stress and stronger results.

Welcome to my profile! With a strong foundation in finance and investment banking, I bring a unique perspective to AP exam preparation, particularly in subjects like economics and calculus. As a Finance Instructor at UC Berkeley, I taught over 300 undergraduates, equipping them with the skills needed to excel in complex financial topics. My experience as an Investment Banker at Wells Fargo Securities, where I managed and trained analysts, has honed my ability to break down challenging concepts into understandable lessons. Whether you're aiming for a top score or need targeted help in specific areas, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's connect and create a tailored plan to achieve your AP exam goals!

I mentored all of my previous students achieve the score of 5 on AP Computer Science A, an AP exam that is critical towards a successful college application for Computer Science. I taught Data Structures (CS 61B) at UC Berkeley as a Teaching Assistant for 4 semesters, and served as Head Teaching Assistant. The language taught in that course is Java, and includes the breadth of the AP curriculum.

I've been tutoring and teaching Calculus for over 25 years. It is a beautiful subject, but I also understand that it can be intimidating or even overwhelming. I will work with you to identify the specific skills that need improvement, and recommend resources you can use to help you improve. I will also make sure that you are able to come away from our work together with a deep understanding of the material, not just a set of memorized equations. Of course, AP courses do come with a big test at the end, and I am intimately familiar with the format and types of questions found on both AP Calculus exams. We will work together on questions from prior exams, and build on those problems to develop your study plan. By the time test day comes around, you will know what to expect—and how to handle it.

During my 5 years of teaching high school math in New York City, I taught 150 students in AP Statistics & AP Calculus.

I scored a 5 on all Math AP Exams (AB and BC) as well as 5’s on Physics C Mechanics and E&M. I have tutored for AB, leading to a 5, and teach a high school class for it.

Math was always my strong suit, and taking AP Calculus was a turning point in my career path. Once you know calculus, the whole world of science opens up. Rather than learning and memorizing facts, you can start making sense of the world in terms of rates (derivatives) and accumulation (integrals). Calculus is joyful for me, and I am confident I can help you feel it too.

My favorite AP tests are the Micro and Macro. I have been teaching this combination of tests since 2020. Having trained as an economist and attained my Master's in Economics from USC, I believe knowledge of economics is vital to every citizen-consumer; and being a proponent of this subject makes me an especially passionate tutor in this subject. I promise to break down the material visually with real life examples that will make this often dry topic come alive. I've studied most of the recent practice exams, multiple choice and free response, so I can narrow down which knowledge is most essential, and how to strategically approach any question.
