Bio
I graduated summa cum laude with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Wright State University in 2014. Since graduating, I have traveled extensively throughout Southeast Asia working as a STEM educator teaching engineering, science, and math to students of all ages. My favorite subject is mathematics, especially high school and college level math. In early 2020, I relocated back to the US due to the pandemic and am currently located in Los Angeles, CA.
I love learning, learning how to learn, and sharing all of my best tips and tricks with students, striving to make STEM classes more accessible to every level of student. I’ve worked with students from all over the world, including the US, the Netherlands, Taiwan, Mainland China, Germany, Bosnia, Canada, and more…
My classes encourage students to question, explore, and create instead of just listening, following, and accepting content as it is taught; striking a healthy balance between learning and good grades. My students build deep understanding of the material and at the same time have all the tools needed to navigate the complexities and time constraints of the modern classroom. My students see, on average, a whole letter grade increase after working with me.
The International Baccalaureate (IB) Program: I have over ten years of experience teaching Math SL and HL topics and I have prepared many students for their final DP Math exam. The final Math SL/HL exam covers topics from Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, Differential Equations, Vectors, Statistics, Probability, and more. My students see, on average, a 1.5 point increase on their final exam. (I am not currently teaching HL AI.)

What ages do you teach?

Are classes in-person or virtual?
Online classes are held over Zoom; you’ll find the join link in the Google Calendar invite. In-person classes are limited to within a 15-minute drive (about 3 miles). Classes outside that radius are charged for driving time at the hourly rate.
What should I prepare for the first class?
The topic(s) you’d like to study, the textbook or resources you’d like to use, any relevant timeframes for your goals (e.g. the final exam is in three weeks), and how often and how long you’d like to meet each week.
What if I miss/cancel a class? Reschedule?
Classes cancelled 24 hours before the start of the session are not charged. The fee is waived for extenuating circumstances (e.g. a health emergency or technical difficulties outside your control). Other missed classes are charged for 1 hour at the hourly rate. Classes switched from in-person to online less than 24 hours before the lesson are charged for travel time.
What if the tutor misses a class?
If I miss a lesson due to circumstances within my control, the next lesson is free.
What if I’m late to a class?
Except for extenuating circumstances, class starts at the scheduled time, and in some cases can’t be extended if another student is scheduled after.
How will I know if I’m successfully scheduled in?
You’ll receive a Google Calendar invite by email confirming your session.
How do I pay?
After each lesson you’ll receive a payment request via your method of choice: Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, Cash App, Square, or credit/debit (via PayPal or Square).

Fantastic
Renna is a fantastic tutor. They explain math concepts clearly, in an easy to follow manner. Renna is kind, patient, approachable and attentive. My daughter’s stress and anxiety about the assignment melted away during the lesson! Thank you!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor
I was struggling immensely in my statistics course to point where I contemplated dropping the class all together. After I failed my first exam, I decided to seek out private tutoring. I’m elated to report that after one session with Renna, I passed my 2nd exam with a score of 98%. I couldn’t have done it with out her! She truly has a talent for simplifying complicated course material.
