I have a master’s degree in Mathematics Education from UC Berkeley, a bachelor's degree in Mathematics from UCSB, and a College Counseling Certificate from UCLA. I’m highly skilled in working with students of various age groups (K-12 students & adults). I believe every student is unique and I am happy to meet students where they are.

If you are interested in scheduling a session with me, please feel free to contact me. Your inquiries will be answered after 6:00 pm on weekdays and throughout the weekends.
I look forward to working with you!

Yinxuan spent 30 minutes evaulating my son and speaking with both him and me and I felt that her analysis of where he was at his current level was very accurate. She also spent another 30 minutes doing homework with him and my son felt that she was very helpful, smart, efficient and patient and was such a welcome relief to his previous method of doing homework.

Yinxuan is the best mandarin tutor I have gotten for my son. She is very good at what she does. I have not had my son be as interested in a lesson as he has been with Yinxuan. She is very organized and has a lesson plan for the lesson.
After watching the lessons she has with my son, I may even begin taking lessons with Yinxuan.

Yinxuan is very supportive and organized during the tutoring sessions. She led me through problems step by step. She taught me how to apply the correct formulas depending on the situation. Also, she used a lot of examples to help me understand abstract concepts and models. She was very patient until I finally understood. I would highly recommend taking her torturing sessions.

Lessons are specific to my goals, approachable, and challenging. Yinxuan Gu is very responsive and engaging with great attention to detail. I’m very happy with my lessons thus far and feel motivated to continue self study in between meet-ups. Thank you!

Yinxuan is very knowledge and extremely kind. She helped me pass my college Calculus class by helping me understand homework problems I was struggling with. She is very patient, dedicated and truly wants to see her students succeed. I would highly recommend her services.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I believe every student is unique and students achieve their goals in their own ways and at different paces. In this case, when I work with new students, I always set up practices and activities to better understand students' current levels and future goals. Then, I will tailor my materials to create individualized plans for the students based on the collected information.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a master’s degree in Education from UC Berkeley, a bachelor's degree in Mathematics from UCSB, and a College Counseling Certificate from UCLA. I am also double minored in Educational Studies, and Science/Mathematics Secondary Teaching Track.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I’m highly skilled in working with students of various age groups (K-12 students & adults). I also have experience working with students with special needs. I worked at UC Berkeley's Disabled Students Program.
