Hi! My name is Henry, and I recently graduated summa cum laude with a double major in mechanical engineering and computer science from Yale University. I'm now going on to complete a master's degree in aerospace engineering at Stanford, but I'm hoping to spend some time pursuing my love of teaching as well!

In terms of experience, I have been tutoring for over 8 years now, in subjects ranging from 7th grade math to collegiate computer graphics, and I have always loved the experience of sharing my knowledge through education. At Yale, I was also an employed Undergraduate Learning Assistant (ULA) for several semesters, working for a computer science class about data structures (CPSC 223) and a mechanical engineering class about robotic control systems (ENAS 772). I have loved all of these different teaching/tutoring jobs and have found the experience of watching my students learn and grow (sometimes over the course of several years!) very rewarding.

My teaching style generally revolves around helping students understand concepts from first principles. Often, our education system relies on memorizing techniques and strategies to solve problems, which can be helpful in the short-term but lead to issues with understanding. With my students, I try to help them learn from the very beginning, building a strong foundation on which they can continue learning into the future. My tutoring style is also very tailored to each student's individual skills, personality type, and learning goals, with the objective of making tutoring a fun and productive time that my students look forward to every week!

I am generally happy to tutor in a wide range of subjects, so feel free to reach out regardless of what you are hoping to work on with me! This includes AP courses (I took 10+ APs in high school), SAT prep (my score = 1600/1600), GRE prep (my score = 339/340), and many college-level math, computer science, or physics classes. I look forward to hearing from you!

xceptional Tutor for Computer Science and Research Projects

I would like to thank Henry for being my daughter’s science project mentor. He is a dedicated and responsible instructor with very strong engineering and coding experience. He integrates complex concepts and methods into the project and explains them to my daughter with great patience. After each session, he provides timely summaries and clear homework instructions. During the week, if my daughter runs into difficulties and emails him, he always responds thoughtfully. He has already worked with her for over ten sessions, and I can truly see her growing confidence in coding and problem-solving. Although the project is not yet fully completed, I believe that with his guidance, she will be able to deliver a strong and meaningful final project.

He helped her structure the project in a clear and logical way, taught her essential technical skills in AI and coding, and consistently provided thoughtful and constructive feedback throughout the entire process. He has a calm and patient teaching style and gives students space to think independently and develop their own ideas. For students who are self-motivated and willing to take initiative, he can be a very effective mentor in helping them achieve strong outcomes. With his guidance, Helen deepened her understanding of the project and successfully developed a well-structured and functional result. She recently placed first in her category at the state science fair. Although there are multiple first-place winners in each category, it is still a great honor for her. Overall, we highly appreciate his knowledge and guidance and would recommend him to students looking for thoughtful and effective mentorship, even for open-ended science fair projects!
