I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Maryland, College Park in 2024. Over the past six years, I have worked extensively as a self-employed academic tutor, educational counselor, and founder of my own instructional company, The Timely Tutors LLC. Throughout this time, I have guided students ranging from elementary school children to high school seniors, as well as undergraduate students, across a wide variety of subjects including K-12 mathematics, elementary and middle school English Language Arts, standardized test preparation like the SAT, and advanced college-level mathematics such as calculus and linear algebra.

My instructional setting has encompassed direct one-on-one sessions, small group workshops, and structured multi-tutor academic oversight. My approach centers on interactive, conversational learning that prioritizes student engagement and measurable goal setting. Rather than relying on passive lecture methods, I design custom practice materials, diagnostic problem sets, visual aids, and interactive digital tools tailored specifically to each student’s current Skill level. I focus heavily on breaking complex analytical concepts into manageable, step-by-step frameworks while maintaining transparent communication with parents to track long-term progress.

Whether helping young learners build foundational arithmetic confidence through customized motivation programs or preparing high schoolers to master high-stakes standardized tests, my focus remains on fostering true subject mastery and critical thinking. By combining my formal quantitative education with years of hands-on experience across diverse age groups and learning environments, I adapt my instruction to fit the unique cognitive needs and learning styles of every student I teach.
