I founded STEMspire, my private math and science tutoring business, during my freshman year after successfully tutoring five friends in Honors Algebra 2 and improving their test grades from Fs to Bs. Recognizing both my passion for teaching and the opportunity to help students in my community, I formalized the venture by creating a brand name, designing business cards, and implementing a strategic marketing approach through networking events and word-of-mouth referrals within my community. I provide personalized tutoring using creative techniques to help students understand challenging concepts, working with learners from elementary math through AP Calculus level, and I've built the business to generate over $6,000 in revenue while keeping rates affordable for families. Beyond course content tutoring, I expanded STEMspire to include SAT and ACT test preparation after witnessing peers being overcharged by other tutors who delivered minimal score improvements. I've successfully prepared 45+ students for standardized tests and various math and science courses, consistently helping them achieve both grade improvement and deeper conceptual understanding.
