I'm a computer science student at the University of California, San Diego. My primary interest is in games and graphics programming. Outside of school I enjoy working on my own software projects, reading, and composing electronic music. I've got a pretty wide breadth of interests, so I like to think I can interact well with a range of different people.
I was a tutor for Mira Costa College in Oceanside for several years. During that time I assisted students in the subjects of C++, Java, English/Critical Writing, and Beginning/Intermediate Japanese. I received many positive evaluations from satisfied students and several personal recommendations from instructors.
I believe that it's beneficial to understand why something works the way it does, as opposed to simply knowing that it works. I prefer to help students arrive at a solution by themselves, with small hints and encouragements, as opposed to simply giving them the answer; practice is the best way to learn and remember things!
