I bring 15+ years of teaching experience, with about half of those specializing in robotics and STEM, to tutoring session, with credentials and hands-on teaching that set me apart.
I hold an Educational Specialist degree (Ed.S.) in Educational Leadership, an Arkansas teaching license, and TEFL certification. My advanced training in curriculum development and instructional leadership directly informs how I design personalized learning experiences for each student.
I currently serve as a secondary robotics and technology teacher, where I teach middle and high school students across the full VEX robotics continuum. I’ve also worked with REV equipment and coach both VEX IQ and FIRST Tech Challenge competitive teams. Previously, I was an Instructional Coach for elementary math, where I helped develop district-wide STEM programming.
My competitive teams have participated in regional and national tournaments, giving me deep insight into what it takes to succeed at the highest levels. I coach students not just on building and programming, but also on strategy, documentation, teamwork, and presentation skills - the complete competition package.
My approach is hands-on, project based, and student-centered. I break complex concepts into manageable steps using visual demonstrations, real-world examples, and iterative practice. I specialize in teaching CAD design using Autodesk Fusion and Tinkercad, helping students create functional designs they can 3D print.
I develop comprehensive STEM curricula in English with support materials in Thai, Chinese, and Korean, making me uniquely equipped to work with English Language Learners and international students who need technical vocabulary support in their home language.
I believe every student can excel in STEM when given patient, expert guidance. Whether your goal is competition success, building a college portfolio, or simply understanding technology and robotics fundamentals, I meet you where you are and help you reach the next level.
