EIT-Certified UCLA EECS Graduate | 5+ professional teaching EXP

Martin Z.

I am a certified Engineer-in-Training (EIT) and a Master’s degree candidate in Integrated Circuit Design at UCLA, with a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from UC Berkeley. My academic training includes advanced circuit design, robotics, embedded systems, and programming in Python, C++, and MATLAB. Professionally, I have worked on projects in semiconductor memory technology, robotics, and biomedical devices, collaborating with leading research labs and engineering teams. These experiences give me the ability to connect theoretical concepts to real-world applications in a way that is both engaging and practical.

I have over five years of teaching and tutoring experience in STEM subjects. For the past two years, I have been a remote instructor at Think Academy, preparing middle school students for AMC 8 math competitions. While at UC Berkeley, I served as a teaching assistant in physics, robotics, and computer science for three years, working with students from middle school through college. My experience spans classroom instruction, small group workshops, and one-on-one sessions, and I tailor my lessons to each student’s unique learning style and goals.

My approach is to break down complex topics into clear, manageable steps, using examples, diagrams, and real-world scenarios to reinforce understanding. I believe in fostering a supportive and interactive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and developing problem-solving skills. Whether your goal is to improve grades, prepare for a competition, or master engineering concepts, I will work with you to build both knowledge and confidence.
