As an engineering physics and computer science student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, I've found joy in helping students discover their own love for learning. With six years of experience tutoring math, I've had the pleasure of working with students from kindergarten to college, guiding them through complex problems and boosting their confidence along the way. My most recent experience tutoring was being a teacher's assistant for object-oriented programming in Java where we emphasized breaking problems down into smaller pieces and understanding the "Why?"
I offer tutoring in a variety of subjects, including math, English, AP courses, ACT, SAT, piano, music production, and sax. My mission is to make learning enjoyable and empowering, helping students understand the material so they can go on to come up with their own ideas. Currently, I'm part of a startup that focuses on Gen AI analysis in various financial industries. Quite fun, but i myself have been getting a rerun of old math, coding, financial analysis, etc. I'm eager to share the wonders of this new technology with students, helping them grasp its potential and navigate the future with confidence. I look forward to inspiring and supporting students, making education a fun and rewarding adventure.

ADHD

ADHD

I have ADHD myself and learned how to manage myself and workload as I went through college. I understand the struggles a student with ADHD may face firsthand and have tutored many kids with learning disabilities, especially during my time at Mathnasium.
C++

C++

I have a major in Physics and Computer Science and in my free-time am building a start-up that uses Gen AI to provide various types of analysis in financial industries. I was a TA for Data Structures using C++ and built a number of applications that demonstrate the various key algorithms used in data organization. I have been coding for 7 years now, and have another AI product called DreamStream which allows for a DJ to play live audio, and the AI listens to the music and generates real-time synced animation.
Calculus

Calculus

I was a TA for both Calc 2 and Differential Equations. I've also been teaching math and calc related concepts in other classes in Physics and Dynamics!
Composition (Music)

Composition (Music)

I am a producer and sound engineer at an emerging record label. I play several instruments and work with artists, directing them, to piece together our combined knowledge and skills to make various genres of underground music. I have been producing for about 11 years now and would love to help other people start putting together their own songs!
Computer Engineering

Computer Engineering

Doing CS, I shared many classes with the computer engineering department and currently work as a software engineer rather than a computer scientist. I work on creating and training AI models for specific reasons on very specific industries so I am very comfortable with these concepts. I was also a TA in several CE and CS courses
Computer Programming

Discrete Math

Discrete Math

I was a TA for DIscrete Structures, Data Structures, and Algorithms in university. Sometimes materials would overlap and I got to teach and see the math in different applications and theory. I also work with large data structures every day as a software engineer where thinking about discrete math and implementing the theory is crucial.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I have been teaching children from kg-10th grade for about 7 years in most any subject. I worked at Mathnasium for about 4 years and was a TA in several Java courses in college. I love to see when things click with a student and the confidence that grows from that. Teaching is a great way to appreciate knowledge for yourself and to pass it on to the next generation. It's always exciting to see a student believe in themselves!
Linux

Linux

I worked with Kali as a pen tester for about 3 years. I have done a number of Bug Bounties including one for 23andme and partaken in several CTF competitions.
MATLAB

MATLAB

I was a TA for linear algebra with MATLAB, as I wanted to understand it fully, I took it a few times and then start teaching my peers. I have used it to graphically visualize things from transformations to integral rotations. I have a firm grasp in this subject after learning for a year and then teaching for 2 and can help students visualize the math and code together. I work as a Software Engineer at an AI company so a lot of the code we write is very mathematical and geometrical.
Music Production

Music Production

I have been making music on DAWs for about 9 years now, I am experienced in FL, Logic, Ableton. I am also an audio engineer and can help with learning the processes behind composition, mixing, and mastering.
Networking (Computer)

Networking (Computer)

I have worked as an IT Technician for 2 years at a local college managing large computer networking systems. I also have earned a number of Cybersecurity certificates including CompTI A+, several IBM Badges and have collected 2 Bug Bounties, the most significant of which being Penetration Testing with "23andme's" API! I now develop Gen AI systems and work in cybersecurity with financial systems!
Pharmacology

Pharmacology

I worked as a Pharm Tech through my college years and scored a 94% on my PTCB, pharmacy technician license exam! I teach SAT / ACT prep and believe the PTCB and other certifiaction exams like it take similar preparation so I would be a good coach.
