Emily - Know your tutor

Do you or your child need extra support in math? I offer patient, personalized tutoring to help students build confidence and excel. I have been passionate about math since childhood, teaching peers as early as elementary school and earning first place in a math competition at a Chinese after-school center. My education covers all levels up through Calculus, and I am currently pursuing College Algebra and Calculus I at the University of the People. In addition to my math expertise, I hold a TESOL certification and an RBT certificate, equipping me to effectively teach ESL learners as well as students with neurodivergent learning challenges. My approach is flexible, encouraging, and tailored to each learner’s unique needs. Whether you’re struggling with the basics or tackling advanced topics, I can help you understand concepts clearly, improve your problem-solving skills, and achieve better results in school. Contact me today to schedule a session and take the next step toward math success! Sincerely Yours, Miss Emily Li

Class overview

My Methodology: I combine clear, step-by-step explanations with structured practice using trusted resources: • OpenStax Math textbooks for clear, college-level explanations and exercises. • Brainchild’s Learning Method to reinforce core skills through repetition and targeted practice. • Curriculum books for Grades 1–5 to strengthen foundational math and ensure no learning gaps. My sessions focus on conceptual understanding first, then practice and application. Students learn how to break down problems, recognize patterns, and approach challenges with confidence. I encourage independent thinking while offering plenty of support, so learners gradually become more self-reliant in solving math problems. Additionally, I hold a TESOL certification and an RBT certificate, equipping me to effectively work with ESL students and those with neurodivergent learning needs. Every lesson is tailored to the student’s pace, background, and goals. Whether starting with the basics or preparing for advanced topics, I provide the right mix of structure, encouragement, and proven curriculum resources to help students succeed. Contact me today to schedule a session and make math a subject you can feel confident.~
