I recently earned a Bachelor of Science in Robotics Engineering and have experience supporting university students in mathematics, programming, computer engineering, and mechatronics. For approximately a year and a half, I worked as an undergraduate reader and grader for several university courses, including mathematics, statistics, programming, and computer engineering. I also spent an academic term tutoring a university-level mechatronics course, where I helped students understand laboratory assignments, troubleshoot hardware and code, and work through technical concepts step by step.

My engineering education has given me a strong foundation in mathematics, robotics, electronics, programming, CAD, and embedded systems. Through my coursework and hands-on engineering projects, I have worked with mechanical design, electronic circuits, microcontrollers, sensors, and technical problem-solving. My experience reviewing student work has also helped me recognize common mistakes and explain difficult concepts in clearer, more approachable ways.

During lessons, I focus on helping students understand the reasoning behind each step rather than simply arriving at the correct answer. I adapt my explanations to the student’s current level, learning style, and goals, and I strive to create an environment where students feel comfortable asking questions. I am also fluent in both English and Spanish and can assist students who are learning Spanish or who benefit from explanations in either language. Whether a student is preparing for an exam, completing an assignment, reviewing a challenging topic, or building confidence, I tailor each lesson to the areas in which they need the most support.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I earned a B.S. in Robotics Engineering, which required a strong foundation in algebra and higher-level mathematics. I have experience tutoring students in math and other technical subjects, and I am comfortable helping with equations, inequalities, graphing, functions, exponents, factoring, systems of equations, and word problems. My engineering background has strengthened my problem-solving skills and ability to explain mathematical concepts in a practical, step-by-step way. I focus on helping students understand why a method works so they can build confidence and solve similar problems independently.
Computer Science

Computer Science

I earned a B.S. in Robotics Engineering and completed extensive coursework in computer science, programming, and computer engineering. My classes have included Data Structures, Assembly Language, Computer Architecture, Logic Design, microcontrollers, and embedded systems, along with hands-on programming experience in engineering projects. I have used programming to interface with sensors, control hardware, troubleshoot systems, and solve technical problems. I also have tutoring and grading experience in technical courses and enjoy helping students understand programming concepts, algorithms, and problem-solving strategies in a clear, step-by-step way.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I earned a B.S. in Robotics Engineering and have experience tutoring students in math at different grade levels. I am comfortable helping with arithmetic, fractions, decimals, multiplication and division, word problems, basic geometry, percentages, and other foundational math skills. My tutoring experience has taught me how to explain concepts in simple, clear steps and adjust my approach based on how each student learns best. I focus on helping students build confidence, strengthen their fundamentals, and develop problem-solving skills they can carry into more advanced math.
General Computer

General Computer

I earned a B.S. in Robotics Engineering and have extensive experience using computers for academic, technical, and everyday tasks. I am comfortable with Windows, file and folder management, installing and using software, Microsoft Office applications, internet and email use, basic troubleshooting, and general computer setup and navigation. My engineering background has also given me experience working with programming tools, hardware, and technical software, so I am comfortable helping users solve both basic and more technical computer problems. I also have tutoring experience and enjoy explaining computer skills patiently and step by step, especially for beginners.
Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365

I have extensive experience using Microsoft 365 applications for academic, professional, and personal projects, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneDrive. As a robotics engineering graduate, I have regularly used these programs to create reports, organize and analyze data, prepare presentations, and manage files and communication. I also have experience tutoring college students and explaining technical concepts in a clear, patient, step-by-step manner. I can help students become more comfortable with Microsoft 365, whether they are learning the basics or need assistance completing a specific task.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I earned a B.S. in Robotics Engineering, which required a strong foundation in mathematics and problem-solving. I have experience tutoring students in math and technical subjects, and I am comfortable helping with fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios, proportions, integers, basic equations, exponents, and introductory graphing. My engineering background has strengthened my ability to break problems into clear, logical steps and explain why each step works. I focus on helping students build a strong mathematical foundation and gain confidence before moving on to more advanced algebra.
Robotics

Robotics

I earned a B.S. in Robotics Engineering and have hands-on experience with robotics, mechatronics, embedded systems, sensors, motors, and mechanical design. Through my coursework and engineering projects, I have worked with microcontrollers, motor control, CAD, circuits, sensors, and the integration of mechanical and electrical systems. I also have experience tutoring and supporting students in technical engineering subjects, including mechatronics. I can help students understand robotics concepts, troubleshoot projects, and connect theory to practical applications.
Spanish

Spanish

I am fully bilingual in English and Spanish and have spoken both languages extensively in academic and everyday settings. I also completed Spanish for Native Speakers coursework at the college level, which strengthened my grammar, writing, reading comprehension, and formal use of the language. I am comfortable helping students with vocabulary, pronunciation, conversation, grammar, reading, and writing. My tutoring experience has also helped me develop a patient, step-by-step approach that I can adapt to each student’s level and goals.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I earned a B.S. in Robotics Engineering, which required extensive use of trigonometry throughout my math, physics, and engineering coursework. I am comfortable helping with right-triangle trigonometry, the unit circle, sine, cosine, tangent, inverse trig functions, identities, graphing, radians, and solving trigonometric equations. I have also applied trigonometry in engineering topics such as vectors, mechanics, sensing, and robotics. With my tutoring experience, I focus on breaking problems into clear steps and helping students understand the concepts behind the formulas rather than simply memorizing them.
