Hello, my name is Altay
Hi! I’m a tutor at MoCo Academics. I specialize in teaching Math, Reading/Writing, and General Studies. I'm an 8th grader at Pyle Middle School. My GPA is 4.0. I ranked in the 99th percentile in MAP Math consistently since first grade, competed in State Math Competitions since 6th grade, taken college level STEM courses from JHU including AP Statistics, Advanced Web Design and Python coding. My favorite subject is math as I like solving complex problems. I’m really excited to work with you and help your child succeed!
My Story
I was born and raised in Maryland, but my parents were born and raised in Turkey and immigrated here in 2000. They always raised me with Turkish culture despite living in America, which gave me the ability to become fluent in both Turkish and English. Currently I am learning Chinese in school, as I know that it will be a very helpful tool later on in my life. I do many things outside of school, such as playing the piano. I have been playing the piano for 7 years now and it has really taught me to appreciate and understand music more fully. I have competed in piano competitions and even got a lesson from an international piano competition finalist once. I also do scouting outside of school, which I think is going to be one of the biggest factors in shaping who I am as an adult. In scouting I learn countless invaluable skills such as outdoor survival and craftsmanship, but above all, skills like leadership and public speaking. Scouts is one of the best ways to build a strong character and personality and I have been fortunate enough to benefit from it. Most importantly, I love teaching. I have a little brother and often help him with his homework and teach him things like math. I enjoy seeing others progress in life and helping them along their journey. Due to this, I am looking forward to working with your child and seeing them grow to their fullest potential.
