Personal tutor with expertise in maths, sciences, and engineering

Pierce H.

I'm Pierce H. I am a Ph.D. student of Robotics at Georgia Tech, where I research how robots learn and collaborate. I graduated as Valedictorian with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering at San Diego State University, and then received my Masters in Robotics from Georgia Tech.

Throughout my studies, I found that what made me love learning was actually the act of teaching (and tutoring). I was a college math tutor for 5+ years during my studies of SDSU, and I loved it! I worked as a tutor at the campus's Math Learning Center, where I eventually became the head tutor in my final year. I did both 1:1 and small group tutoring for a variety of challenging courses such as College Algebra, Calculus, Physics, Differential Equations, and Discrete Math, etc. I've also done 1:1 high school tutoring.

Throughout my tutoring experience, I learned that each student needs a personalized approach to learning. This means that as a tutor, I meet the student where their current understanding is and work from that toward where the need or wish to be. Given my background in engineering and science, I also really like to focus on ground the learning with everyday examples. Math and science tutoring are beautiful in that way, you can connect any idea with something tangible in the world around you, which makes it easier and more fun to learn.

Overall, I want to benefit students to meet their goals, whether that be to learn a new concept, pass the next exam, or catch-up in a class that feels like it is going too fast. Beyond that, I also want to make student more confident and well-equipped learns. I always strive to give tools and exercises that make studying more effective, efficient, and enjoyable.
