Bio

Hello! I'm Ivan, a dedicated student at the University of California, San Diego, majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Mathematics. My journey here wasn't a traditional one, but it's given me a deep appreciation for hard work and a genuine love for these subjects. I was accepted to both UCLA and UCSD for Computer Science, which are highly selective programs, and I'm happy to bring that same dedication to my students.

Hello! I'm Ivan, a dedicated student at the University of California, San Diego, majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Mathematics. My journey here wasn't a traditional one, but it's given me a deep appreciation for hard work and a genuine love for these subjects. I was accepted to both UCLA and UCSD for Computer Science, which are highly selective programs, and I'm happy to bring that same dedication to my students.

My qualifications for Computer Science are built on a strong foundation with 6+ years of experience in Python, along with 3+ years in web development. I have a deep understanding of core concepts like data structures, algorithms, and systems-level programming from my current coursework. For math, my qualifications are built on a perfect score of 5 on the AP Calculus BC Exam, followed by straight A's in all my lower-division college math courses.

I have over a year of professional tutoring experience from my time at Tutoring Club, where I managed groups of 3-4 students at a time. This experience taught me how to effectively accommodate different learning styles and keep students engaged, even with multiple subjects and distractions. I believe that understanding the "why" behind the concepts is more important than just memorization, and I'm confident in my ability to help students not only improve their grades but also feel more motivated and confident in their abilities.

I look forward to helping you or your child succeed!

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have over a year of experience professionally tutoring children in Algebra 1. My teaching philosophy is centered on building a strong conceptual understanding, not just memorizing formulas. As a result, I have consistently seen a clear increase in my students' grades and, more importantly, a boost in their confidence and interest in the subject. I'm adept at identifying and filling knowledge gaps to ensure students have a rock-solid foundation for all their future math courses.
Calculus

Calculus

Received a 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam, finished top of class in Calculus 3 and Differential Equations. I've tutored Calculus for over a year and have helped foster a love for the subject within my students by building upon a solid foundation and keeping it fun along the way.
Computer Science

Computer Science

I have a strong foundation in a variety of programming languages and frameworks, with 5+ years of experience in Python and 3+ years in C/C++. Beyond coursework, I've applied my theoretical knowledge to create hands-on projects, from backend systems to modern frontend frameworks like Svelte and React. My expertise covers core computer science coursework, including data structures, algorithms, and computer systems.
Linux

Linux

My extensive experience comes from years of daily-driving Linux, giving me a comprehensive understanding of the Linux ecosystem, from the core kernel to the user space. I have hands-on experience debugging system-level issues, managing daemons, and understanding the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. I'm also proficient with core GNU commands, bash scripting, and I have a firm grasp of how hardware interacts with the operating system. My knowledge extends to other distributions, virtual machines, and containerization with Docker.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I have over a year of professional precalculus tutoring experience from my time at Tutoring Club. During this time, I worked with a wide range of students, whether they were looking to catch up on a difficult subject or get ahead in their studies. I specialize in breaking down complex topics into clear, manageable steps, and I have a proven track record of helping students increase their grades and confidence.
Python

Python

5+ years with python. Have created several projects spanning every domain: webdev, games, and data science/AI.
Spanish
