From early academic excellence in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program to graduating with a degree in Chemical Engineering from the esteemed North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, Tay has always pursued knowledge with purpose and passion. As a member of the university’s honors program and a proud graduate with a 3.5 GPA, Tay’s journey reflects both discipline and curiosity—qualities that now define his approach as an educator.

While in college, Tay co-founded a T-shirt business with close friends, channeling his creativity through artwork and discovering a new passion in the stock market. At the same time, he tackled a rigorous course load, mastering subjects like Calculus I–III, Differential Equations, and Organic Chemistry—each passed with distinction.

With over four years of tutoring experience, Tay has developed a teaching style grounded in patience, engagement, and connection. He believes that learning is not just about memorizing facts—it's about understanding, applying, and growing. His greatest strength as a tutor is his ability to give students the time and space to truly grasp the material, while holding them to a high standard of excellence. He understands that success comes from consistent effort on both sides.

Tay’s teaching philosophy is rooted in building meaningful relationships with students. He knows that the best learning happens when students feel supported, seen, and inspired. Whether it’s through relatable analogies drawn from a student’s favorite book, song, or hobby—or through consistent questioning to reinforce understanding—he meets students where they are and helps them get where they want to be.

For Tay, teaching isn’t just a job—it’s a lifestyle. And with the right mindset and support, he believes there's no concept too difficult to master.
