Hi! I earned a Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering from Iowa State University, where my coursework included calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, general chemistry, classical physics, and physics laboratory work. I earned an A in college classical physics and its lab and an A in General Chemistry for Engineers. I also earned A grades in math, chemistry, and physics during high school.

Hi! I earned a Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering from Iowa State University, where my coursework included calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, general chemistry, classical physics, and physics laboratory work. I earned an A in college classical physics and its lab and an A in General Chemistry for Engineers. I also earned A grades in math, chemistry, and physics during high school. This background has prepared me to help students with middle-school and high-school math, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, precalculus, introductory college calculus, general chemistry, and high-school physics.
For more than a full school year, I worked one-on-one with college students through Knack, tutoring math, chemistry, and physics. My sessions received five-star ratings, and every student I tutored returned for at least one additional session. I helped students work through homework, prepare for exams, review concepts they had missed, and become more comfortable solving problems independently. That experience taught me to adjust my explanations to the individual student instead of repeating the same explanation when it is not connecting.
I keep sessions relaxed, practical, and focused on the student’s goals. We begin by finding the exact point where the material becomes confusing, work through an example together, and then have the student try a similar problem with my guidance. I explain why each step works and point out common mistakes, confusing wording, and patterns that often appear on tests. My goal is for students to leave each session understanding both the current problem and how to approach the next one on their own. I am available for online and in-person tutoring.
