I am an Electrical Engineering student at the University of Arizona with a strong academic background in mathematics, science, engineering, and computer programming. I graduated high school with a 4.0 unweighted GPA and a 34 ACT score and completed advanced coursework including AP Calculus BC, AP Physics C: Mechanics, and AP Computer Science Principles. At the college level, I have completed coursework in Calculus I and Linear Algebra and am currently studying Vector Calculus.

I have several years of experience teaching and mentoring younger students in STEM. As a Coding Instructor at Code Ninjas, I worked directly with children teaching programming, robotics, and problem-solving skills. I learned how to break complicated concepts into smaller, approachable steps and adapt my explanations to different ages, experience levels, and learning styles.

I also have experience with Mastercard's Girls4Tech program. I was first introduced to the program as a student when I was younger and later became involved in bringing STEM and technology education to younger students. Through Girls4Tech, I helped introduce students to concepts in technology, cybersecurity, coding, and problem-solving while encouraging girls to become more confident and interested in STEM fields.

My tutoring approach focuses on understanding rather than memorization. I use guided examples, practice problems, visual explanations, and questions that encourage students to work through problems themselves. I want students to leave a session understanding not only how to solve a problem, but why the method works. I am especially comfortable working with middle school and high school students, as well as students taking introductory college-level mathematics or programming courses.

ACT English

ACT English

I earned a 34 on the ACT English section and completed both AP English Language and Composition and AP English Literature and Composition, earning a 4 on AP Language and a 3 on AP Literature. These courses strengthened my skills in grammar, rhetorical analysis, sentence structure, editing, and understanding how writers communicate ideas effectively. I help students recognize common ACT English question patterns and develop strategies for grammar, punctuation, organization, pacing, and process of elimination. I also incorporate study skills such as targeted practice, tracking recurring mistakes, time management, and test-taking strategies to help students improve their accuracy, efficiency, and confidence.
ACT Science

ACT Science

I earned a 34 on the ACT Science section, missing only one question on the entire section. I understand that success on ACT Science depends less on memorizing complex scientific facts and more on efficiently interpreting graphs, tables, experiments, and conflicting viewpoints under strict time constraints. I help students identify trends, locate relevant information quickly, eliminate unsupported answer choices, and develop pacing strategies for each passage type. I also incorporate study skills I developed myself, including targeted practice, tracking mistakes, time management, and structured study plans to help students improve their accuracy, speed, and confidence.

Study Skills

Study Skills

I understand firsthand how difficult it can be to stay organized, manage time, and study effectively because these skills did not always come naturally to me. Over time, I taught myself how to build study systems that worked for me, including breaking large assignments into manageable steps, planning ahead, organizing materials and deadlines through calendars and to-do lists, taking effective notes, and studying strategically instead of simply studying longer. These skills helped me succeed in rigorous AP, honors, and college-level STEM courses and continue to be an important part of how I approach engineering coursework today. I enjoy helping students find strategies that work for their individual learning style so they can become more organized, independent, and confident in their academic abilities.
