About Sandy
Hi, I am Sandy! I am currently an Applied Mathematics major at Brooklyn Technical High School, where I have developed a deep passion for advanced mathematics, logic, and complex problem-solving.
My academic track record includes maintaining a 99 average in AP Calculus BC and achieving a perfect 800 on the SAT Math section. Beyond achieving top grades myself, I have extensive experience helping other students master these exact topics. As the Tutoring Committee Head for Mu Alpha Theta, the Mathematics Honor Society, I have personally logged over 45 hours of peer math support. This role has allowed me to specialize in breaking down intimidating calculus concepts into digestible pieces and helping students overcome math-related test anxiety.
Outside of academics, I bring strong organizational skills and a high level of professionalism to my tutoring practice. I serve as the Vice President of the Esports Club and Treasurer of the Sketching Club at Brooklyn Tech, positions that require excellent time management and constant communication. Furthermore, my background includes structured workforce training through the Summer Youth Employment Program and volunteering at a local medical clinic. These experiences have reinforced my commitment to being punctual, reliable, structured, and deeply attentive to each student’s unique learning goals. I look forward to helping you build absolute confidence in calculus!

As an Applied Mathematics major at Brooklyn Tech who maintained a 99 average in AP Calculus BC, I know exactly how overwhelming this subject can feel. My lessons are specifically designed for high school students taking AP Calculus AB or BC, as well as regular Calculus, who want to truly master the material and score a 5 on their AP exam.
My Approach and Techniques:
Calculus should not just be about memorizing mechanical rules for derivatives and integrals. I focus on a conceptual, visual approach. We look at why a theorem works (like the geometric intuition behind related rates, optimization, or Taylor series) before diving into the heavy algebraic manipulation. Because I am a peer student who recently mastered the exact same College Board curriculum, I know the exact traps examiners set and how to explain complex topics without the confusing academic jargon.
A Typical 60-Minute Lesson Plan:
First, we spend 10 minutes doing a targeted review to clear up any lingering confusion from your school lectures, textbook homework, or past quizzes. Next, we dedicate 25 minutes to a core concept breakdown, dissecting abstract definitions into logical, step-by-step pieces. We then spend 20 minutes on guided AP-style practice, tackling actual free-response and multiple-choice questions together to build your independent problem-solving endurance. Finally, we end with a 5-minute strategy wrap-up to summarize key algebraic shortcuts and time-saving graphing calculator hacks for your next test.
Whether you are trying to pull your grade up or aiming for a perfect score on the AP test, my lessons will turn calculus into a major strength!

Sandy is hands down the best math tutor I have ever had. We go to Brooklyn Tech together and Sandy literally helped me survive AP Calculus. Instead of just making you memorize confusing formulas, Sandy actually breaks down the steps visually so it makes sense. Super patient, easy to talk to, and helped my grade go up a ton. Highly recommend!
