Terriann Z.
Private tutor in Pittsburgh, PA
Education
Hello! I'm Terriann, a junior at Carnegie Mellon University. I am majoring in Decision Science with an additional major in Business Administration. As a high school freshman, I started tutoring middle school students in Algebra 1. In later high school classes, I helped out struggling classmates, and eventually went on to tutor students outside of my classes in subjects ranging from Trigonometry to Economics to Biology. Often, I had not taken the same class as the students that I tutored, but my high school courseload was heavy in AP (Advanced Placement) and IB (International Baccalaureate) classes, so I often had sufficiently-high level of knowledge to teach.
Experience
I am extremely well-versed with standardized testing, having taken and passed 12 AP, 6 IB, and 4 SAT Subject tests. In particular, my PSAT score is 222, and SAT score is 2300 out of 2400, with a Math sub-score of 800. Also, my SAT Subject Math score is 770, and I received a score of 5 on AP Calculus AB.

Hobbies
My tutoring philosophy emphasizes hard work and enthusiasm. I look to my own favorite teachers for inspiration: they were always engaging, responsive, and flexible, so I try to create a similar experience for my own students. I want to help students as much as possible and strive to make my tutoring sessions as pleasant and educational as possible. As such, I am willing to go the extra mile and am extremely responsive to feedback or suggestions. In my spare time, I enjoy visiting museums, exploring Pittsburgh, fencing, traveling, and watching movies. Feel free to contact me for more information!
