About Elaine
I’m Elaine, a high school junior with experience in both advanced coursework and teaching. I’ve taught math to students in both classroom and individual settings. I tailor each lesson to the student’s specific goals, and I guide students with hints and questions so they discover the solutions themselves, building both confidence and problem-solving skills.
I tutor:
- Single Variable Calculus (AP Calculus AB/BC)
- Multivariable Calculus
- Linear Algebra
- Physics (AP Physics C, Mechanics, Electricity & Magnetism, Waves & Optics, Thermodynamics)

I explain concepts step by step, starting from intuition before moving into formal definitions and problem solving. I like using examples from past exams, contests, classes, or real applications so students see why something works. I also check for understanding often, so we don’t just go through the motions.
Typical Lesson Plan
- Quick review of last lesson and goals for the session (5 minutes)
- New topics explained with examples and guided practice where we solve problems together (50 minutes)
- Wrap-up and planning what to focus on next time (5 minutes)
If you have an upcoming exam or class assignment, I can structure the entire session around the material you need most. Whether it’s reviewing your course topics, targeting tricky concepts, or practicing test-style problems, I’ll adapt the lesson so it’s directly useful for your goals.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by students with Elaine.
Perfect! Elaine is an amazing tutor! She came really prepared and knew exactly how to explain the advanced math topics I wanted to learn. She makes difficult concepts so much easier to understand and always takes the time to make sure I get it. I look forward to learning more from her and being mentored by her.
Her accomplishments are really inspiring—qualifying for AIME five times since middle school is incredible. I hope that by learning from her, I can achieve similar goals one day. She’s super smart, patient, and encouraging. I’m really glad I get to learn from her!- I really enjoyed teaching this student. He was focused, quick to learn, and confident in asking questions and explaining his reasoning.Elaine's response :

Elaine challenges students while keeping them confident. She doesn't just give the answers, but guides students to think critically and helps students build lasting understanding. Would highly recommend.
Elaine is a dear friend, and I know firsthand what an excellent teacher she is. As someone who tutors others myself, I’ve learned multiple high-level concepts from her. Anyone fortunate enough to have her as a tutor will not be disappointed.
