Stanford Postdoc with 3 engineering degrees

Christopher M.

I hold a PhD in Biomedical Engineering and am currently a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University, where I develop advanced imaging systems and algorithms for neuroscience research. My educational background combines expertise in engineering, optics, and programming, providing a solid foundation for teaching STEM subjects.

My tutoring experience spans high school, college, and graduate-level students. During my graduate studies, I mentored undergraduates in laboratory research, teaching them experimental techniques, programming (Matlab, Python, and Verilog), and principles of imaging technology. I have also tutored math, physics, and programming one-on-one, adapting my approach to suit each student’s learning style and goals. For younger learners, I use engaging examples to make concepts relatable, while with advanced students, I emphasize practical applications and real-world problem-solving.

My teaching philosophy focuses on fostering understanding and confidence. I assess each student’s unique needs and craft personalized lesson plans that build foundational knowledge and practical skills. I incorporate hands-on practice and real-world examples to reinforce concepts and demonstrate their relevance. For project-based learning, I guide students in tackling ambitious STEM projects, applying my experience in PCB design, optics, and imaging systems.

With over a decade of experience in programming and engineering, I’m well-equipped to teach technical skills, data analysis, and project-based subjects. Whether preparing for exams or tackling complex topics, I strive to inspire curiosity, confidence, and a love for learning in every student I teach.
