I graduated from the University of Cambridge with a BA and MEng in Information and Computer Engineering. My studies included probability, statistical signal analysis, machine learning, data analysis, computer vision, and software engineering.

I graduated from the University of Cambridge with a BA and MEng in Information and Computer Engineering. My studies included probability, statistical signal analysis, machine learning, data analysis, computer vision, and software engineering. After Cambridge, I spent more than six years as a software engineer at Microsoft, where I regularly applied mathematics, statistics, data analysis, and quantitative reasoning to complex technical problems.

I also have previous experience teaching and mentoring children and teenagers. During the summers of 2014 and 2015, I privately tutored students ages 10–17, adapting my explanations and lessons to students with different ages, abilities, and goals. I also helped students and their families plan applications to schools and universities abroad. In 2015, I taught English at a summer program for students ages 12–17, where I planned lessons and used interactive activities to make learning engaging and accessible.

While my previous tutoring focused primarily on English and international education rather than STEM, I now hope to combine that teaching experience with my academic and professional background in engineering. My approach is to understand where a student is getting stuck, explain the underlying concept intuitively, and then work through problems step by step until the student can reason through them independently. I particularly enjoy working with students who are curious about mathematics, computing, engineering, and how these subjects connect to real-world problems.

Approved Subjects

C#

C#

I have over six years of professional software engineering experience at Microsoft, where C# was one of the languages I used for software development, data analysis, and machine learning projects. I used C# to build and maintain production code and to develop data-driven solutions for Windows, including work analyzing large-scale device data and improving Windows Update experiences. I also hold a BA and MEng in Information and Computer Engineering from the University of Cambridge, where I developed a strong foundation in programming, algorithms, software engineering, and computer science. I can help students learn C# fundamentals, object-oriented programming, debugging, data structures, and how to approach programming problems systematically.
C++

C++

I have over six years of professional software engineering experience at Microsoft, where C++ was one of the primary languages I worked with. I used C++ extensively while working on large production codebases, including debugging complex issues, understanding existing systems, and developing and maintaining software used at large scale. I also studied Information and Computer Engineering at the University of Cambridge, where I developed a strong foundation in programming, algorithms, data structures, and software engineering. I have used C++ for academic projects as well as professional development, and it has also been one of my primary languages for practicing coding and technical interview problems. I can help students with C++ fundamentals, object-oriented programming, data structures and algorithms, debugging, and problem-solving.
Data Science

Data Science

I have extensive professional experience applying data science and statistical analysis to real-world problems at Microsoft. I used large-scale data to investigate product and user-experience problems, designed data pipelines and metrics, conducted experiments, and created dashboards and visualizations to help Windows become more data-driven. I studied Information and Computer Engineering at the University of Cambridge, with coursework including probability, statistical signal analysis, machine learning, data analysis, and computer vision. I also completed a research internship at Cambridge where I applied statistical and machine-learning techniques to facial-expression data. I can help students understand data analysis, statistics, experimentation, visualization, and the practical application of machine-learning methods.
IELTS

IELTS

I achieved an overall band score of 8.0 on the Academic IELTS, including a 9.0 in Listening and an 8.0 in Speaking. Having prepared for and taken the IELTS myself, I am familiar with the skills and strategies needed to perform well on the exam. I also have previous experience teaching English to students ages 10–17, both through private tutoring and as an instructor in a summer program. I can help students improve their IELTS listening and speaking skills, practice communicating clearly and confidently in English, and become more comfortable with the format and expectations of the exam.
Physics

Physics

participated in physics IYPT, Got A* in A-levels
SAT Math

SAT Math

I graduated from Cambridge with a degree in Information and Computer Engineering and have a strong background in mathematics. I have experience teaching students aged 10–17. My SAT Math tutoring focuses on building conceptual understanding, improving problem-solving strategies, and developing confidence.
