Hi there! My name is Herbert Ortiz, but I often go by Herb. I am currently a Math and Physics double major at New York University. While I spend a lot of time in class and studying, my math doesn't stop there. I often spend my time tutoring whenever and whoever I can, doing Putnam-style math problems, and just engaging in general math research(nothing serious, just casual learning of things that are not taught in the classroom). During my High School career, I tutored elementary and Intermediate school students in both Math and Science. This ranged from elementary math and science, all the way to basic Earth Science and Algebra 1. I also tutored my fellow high school students. I am able to tutor whoever wants to in the subjects listed in my profile below. With my tutee, I try to make sure they get to see the beauty and art behind math, which often gets lost within the classroom. I also try to make sure I provide a judgment-free zone, where tutees can feel like they ask any question without feeling dumb or stupid. I will also make sure I try to make sure I get them to understand as much as possible about the material during our time together. Lastly, I will do whatever in my power I can to make sure we just have fun with math! I look forward to tutoring with you soon! :)

While achieving a 4.0 unweighted GPA, I improved my SAT score from 1300-1540 and got into Stern NYU (~4% acceptance rate). I've also gotten 5s on 7 out of 9 AP exams (I got a 4 in Lang & Lit because I didn't know how to excel in English at the time) including AP Calc BC, AP Stats, and AP Physics 1. I love helping others get into top colleges, so I've developed probably the most reliable way to improve SAT scores and have been tutoring math since middle school. My approach towards learning is all about efficiency and quality. I've spent countless hours perfecting data-proven and efficient studying techniques to get where I am today. With me, you'll not only get exceptional test scores but also acquire strategies and techniques that will make you an Academic Weapon for life.
