Meet Neal Li
Bio
Hello, I’m Neal Li. My hometown is Jingjiang, JiangSu, China. I have several years of experience tutoring K–12 students in math and physics, helping them raise their grades and develop lasting problem-solving skills. Fun fact about is I love the mountains more than the beach.
How would you describe your tutoring style?
I describe my tutoring style as patient and conversational — I meet students where they are and guide them through concepts using real-world examples that make abstract ideas feel approachable.
What do you enjoy most about tutoring?
I enjoy that moment when a concept finally "clicks" for a student and you can see the frustration on their face turn into excitement.
How do you help students who feel stuck or lack confidence?
I break problems into smaller, manageable steps and remind students of past challenges they've already overcome to show them that struggle is simply part of the learning process.
What is a moment or outcome with a student that made you proud?
I was incredibly proud when a student who once refused to attempt math problems on their own began voluntarily tackling challenging questions with confidence.
What do you love about Math Man Olmedo Tutoring Center?
I love how Math Man Olmedo Tutoring Center is dedicated to building genuine confidence in students, teaching them the means to learn, not just teaching them to get the right answer.
Education
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, and currently pursuing my Ph.D.
