Fun Facts

I coached basketball for 5th/6th grade boys and 1st/2nd grade girls my junior/senior year of high school and it was the most challenging but most rewarding thing I have ever done. I am a very active person and I love my sports, especially basketball and volleyball and I am, of course, a horned frogs fan! I grew up in Jakarta, Indonesia and loved every day of it! I'm the kind of girl who works hard for my results and I do have high expectations for myself. Some say that that is just the Asian sid

About Me

My name is Jessica Masrin and I am currently a sophomore student at Texas Christian University. I am originally from Chicago, IL, but I grew up overseas in Jakarta, Indonesia and attended Jakarta International School. I am currently a kinesiology major and hoping someday to be a physical therapist or a physicians assistant. I am one of few people who enjoy doing math and enjoy helping people be successful in math. I took Chinese for 6 years from 6th grade until my freshman year in college, and I enjoyed it. My dad is originally from China, so I hope to someday be as fluent as he is. I love being the person that helps someone else succeed which is why I would love the opportunity to tutor others.

I have not had any professional experience where I have been paid to tutor, however I have been known to be a reliable source as a tutor to my friends, siblings, and other peers in classes, specifically in math and chinese (which is why I feel comfortable tutoring in these subjects). Like I mentioned earlier, I took Chinese for 6 years and I have taken math classes every year, including IB Standard Math in high school, and pre calc with trig last semester. I enjoy being a role model and a mentor to people and motivate people to do better and become successful. I love tutoring my friends and family, and I hope that I get the opportunity to do something I love while helping others as well as earning a little bit for myself.

I like to tutor in a way that simplifies things down to the basics and make the problems as simple as they can be. I like to ask questions, demonstrate and give examples so I can see if they understand what I have been talking about. I think it is really important to go small steps at a time, for example, for math, I would start at a simpler problem and build up to the more difficult ones so that they can see how simple the difficult ones can be if you think it through step by step. I think it all depends on the person you are working with and how they l
