Physics and Electrical Engineering Tutor

Vu L.

I graduate from CU Denver with BS and MS in Electrical Engineering. I was a researcher at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). I am now an Electronic Engineer at NIST.

I am also a US Navy veteran. I joined the service right after high school and served for 5 years. I was honorably discharged in 2015 and decided to enroll in UC Denver to study Chemistry, then I switched to Electrical Engineering. I have never had any official tutoring or teaching experience before, but one thing I have found out when I helped my classmates with the subjects is that I also gain a deeper understanding and different perspectives on how to approach and tackle the problems. In other words, help you help me.

When I was studying Electrical Engineering, I also minored in Physics. Interestingly, solving physics problems gave me another special skill to approach and solve other mathematical problems, either algebra, calculus or differential equations. I believe this skill sets me apart from my peers who have gone through the same math courses.

I was blessed to be able to take many graduate-level courses in Power, Signal and Electromagnetic Fields. In my opinion, for many students, those were the hardest courses in electrical engineering. Unfortunately, they are also the core of electrical engineering. I understand the struggle when a student has to go through the similar course and I can offer my insight, my mistake and my success to help other overcome the challenge.

I am excited to meet with students in the future. Let us face the challenge together and prevail.
