About Chloe
I scored a 1540 [First go with no preparation: 1380; second go, three months later: 1540] on the SAT, strong in math through Calc 2, scored 5 on AP Physics C (with calc) exam and self-study physics obsessively, and have three years of experience tutoring high school students (one-on-one) in math and physics. I'm taking a gap year (deferred admission) before going to UC Berkeley for a BA in Physics. I've spent the time working at a startup built around patent-protected software for nonprofit donations, programming a solar-position calculator (deriving the equations myself), studying for the PCAP (Python Certified Associate Programmer), preparing for cross-atlantic sail, and basking in slower days. I spent a good portion of the summer tutoring my younger brother, a senior this year, for the SAT (bringing his score from 1240 to 1410), during which I developed a systematic, individualized approach to close gaps in score.

My SAT approach rests on the conviction that in order to win, you study the test. We begin with diagnostics with extensive analysis/tracking of results and conditions, and look to the patterns beneath each missed question. Then, sessions are built around the student’s individual weak points, studying the foundational material and utilizing test strategies (all detailed in a master document I share with the student.)
In math and physics, I try to follow in style with those I admire in the fields (Feynman, Susskind, even 3Blue1Brown), who treat the formula as a consequence of understanding the idea, and explain complex and intricate things very plainly. Because I genuinely love physics and the mathematics behind it, I teach it as I see it: something beautiful and exciting and universal.
I've found that some of my students are able to engage and understand best when concepts are more consistently anchored to something real. So, I tie ideas and equations to the physical world (why a cup of coffee cools quickly at first and then slowly, for instance) and show how the same architecture of math and physics governs seemingly unrelated fields. I often teach with interactive digital models, some coded myself and others from Wolfram, Paul Falstad, and PhET.
One student, who was set on a career in finance, was struggling with the idea that physical systems "seek" their lowest energy. It felt abstract until we used my Ising model, a century-old model of ferromagnetic phase transitions, to show that quants use the very same mathematics to help optimize investment portfolios: each stock is a “spin,” in or out, and the best portfolio is the system’s lowest-energy state. Once the idea was in terms he cared about, he could reason with it.
In short: my aim in every session is that a student ends with notably greater understanding, sharper method, and, ideally, a better opinion of the subject. All through honest, patient effort from both of us. I keep my schedule small so every student gets my full attention. If you’d like to begin, book a short intro session and we’ll take it from there.

chloe's brother rec'd her to me in like august bc I was struggling to get past 1430. she tutored me five days a week till the sept SAT, I got a 1520. she was really good. i think what helped me best was her really pressing to study the test, and she had so many specific tricks for types of questions and identifying them. everything was just optimized and she made it so easy to know what to do.
Chloe's my older sister. I was struggling with SAT a lot so, as usual, she took me under wing and worked hours a day with me and on her own creating method all summer for the SAT. Went from hopeless to now applying ED to Middlebury with a decent chance to get in. Just the drastic score increase still is like I never thought I could score this high. Couldn't give more confidence that she's the girl for the job.
