I'm Levi! I graduated with high honors from Georgia Tech with a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (GPA of 3.4), and a Master's degree in Computer Science (GPA of 3.8). As a student, I helped my friends study. I realized my love for teaching others, and also learned better ways to teach. Rather than just say formulas, I explained the underlying concepts, explained why they work and found real world examples that make the concepts intuitive.

I'm Levi! I graduated with high honors from Georgia Tech with a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (GPA of 3.4), and a Master's degree in Computer Science (GPA of 3.8). As a student, I helped my friends study. I realized my love for teaching others, and also learned better ways to teach. Rather than just say formulas, I explained the underlying concepts, explained why they work and found real world examples that make the concepts intuitive. This gave context and allowed them to apply concepts to other problems. As I grew as a tutor, I would make sure to find where specifically they struggled. I then related the parts they struggle with to what they understand or to their interests. With these methods, I have tutored students from kindergarten through college.
I tutored at Mathnasium for six months, teaching four to five students at a time. The students varied in ages from K-12, covering topics from counting to calculus. After that I tutored online for three years. These sessions were all one-on-one, and mostly on high-school and college level subjects. My most common subjects were calculus, pre-calculus, physics, and mechanical engineering. I start with an overview of the current topic, explaining the relevant formulas and giving examples. In order to make sure that the student understands, I will ask them if they have any questions and give quick practice questions periodically. After that, I give my students more involved practice problems. If they have trouble, I help them through the specific issues they have until they can solve the problems themselves. When my students don't have a specific topic they want covered, I would review previous material or give them a head start on the subject that would likely come up next.
If you want my tutoring services, please contact me so we can schedule a session. I will be sure to respond quickly. I strive to help my students as much as I can, in any way I can, so also feel free to send me any material that may be helpful, such as a syllabus or study guide
