I am pursuing a degree in Applied and Computational Mathematics at the University of California, Irvine, with a concentration in data science and a minor in Information and Computer Science. My studies combine advanced mathematics, probability, and computer science with practical applications in software engineering and machine learning. This academic background allows me to explain complex ideas in a clear, structured way, making them approachable and relevant for students at different levels.
My tutoring and teaching experience comes from both formal and informal settings. As Software Engineering Lead for UCI’s Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), I guided student teams through technical projects, taught best practices in coding, and led workshops on topics such as algorithms and software design. As the founder of the Google Developer Student Club at UCI, I organized and taught project-based sessions that brought together students from different skill levels, introducing them to programming, artificial intelligence, and collaborative problem-solving. These roles required adapting my approach depending on the audience—whether it was simplifying concepts for beginners, using visual aids for conceptual learners, or encouraging independent exploration for advanced students.
Beyond leadership positions, I have also worked one-on-one with peers and younger students to strengthen their skills in mathematics, programming, and applied problem solving. This has included helping high school students with foundational topics, mentoring undergraduates on more advanced coursework, and providing guidance on real-world projects. Across all these contexts, I aim to build not just subject knowledge but also the confidence and problem-solving mindset that help students continue learning on their own. My philosophy is that effective tutoring should empower students to ask questions, make mistakes, and grow from the process, ultimately equipping them with skills that last well beyond a single assignment or class.
