Bio

I graduated from UC Davis with four simultaneous degrees in four years: Bachelor's of Science in Physics and Mathematics, and Bachelor's of Arts in Economics and Linguistics. I am extremely passionate about my search for a complete and nuanced understanding of the structure of the universe: with over 400 quarter units, I bring a broad background of advanced mathematical subjects and more, from calculus to analysis, differential equations to differential geometry, quantum mechanics to quantum...

I graduated from UC Davis with four simultaneous degrees in four years: Bachelor's of Science in Physics and Mathematics, and Bachelor's of Arts in Economics and Linguistics. I am extremely passionate about my search for a complete and nuanced understanding of the structure of the universe: with over 400 quarter units, I bring a broad background of advanced mathematical subjects and more, from calculus to analysis, differential equations to differential geometry, quantum mechanics to quantum field theory.

In all my coursework, I can guarantee that I know the feeling of being lost in a class or muddled in a textbook - I've been there many times!
Sometimes, academia doesn't provide all the necessary tools for mastering a given topic.

Sometimes, the material doesn't seem intuitive at all. (I'm looking at you, quantum mechanics).

Sometimes, intuition is a matter of finding the right way of looking at a concept, which varies from person to person!

This is why I tailor my tutoring sessions to each student's background, leveraging my own experience to provide multiple perspectives and approaches to each concept and problem. I believe that the only thing more rewarding than one's own learning is fostering it in others.
I am beyond willing to go the extra mile to help you achieve your academic goals. If you have any individual needs, I will always accommodate them as best I can.

Just send me a message to learn more!

great teacher

Shawn was very thorough with all his explanations and patiently answered all of my questions as well as giving explanations that were easy to understand. Definitely recommend getting a lesson if you're struggling with linguistics!

Sanam, 8 lessons with Shawn

super helpful!

I felt super confused before the lesson but Shawn cleared my head and was extremely patient since English is my second language, and now I understand Pragmatics a lot better! Thank you again!

Jacqueline, 1 lesson with Shawn

Brilliant aid in understanding difficult concepts.

Shawn helped me understand the meaning of difficult mathematical proofs by prodding me toward the answer myself. This provided a deeper knowledge of the material, because I understood it in a way that I would not have without Shawn.

Justin, 8 lessons with Shawn

Great!

Very helpful and knowledgeable on quantum mechanics! Thankful that someone could help with this material and be able to talk me through the questions.

Knowledgeable tutor

Shawn was patient and able to accommodate a two hour session when we were scheduled for one. He knew all of the material and was helpful in going through the problems with me
