Francis P.

I am a Spring 2024 graduating student at the University of Illinois Chicago, pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a member of the honors college. In high school, I was an AP Scholar with Distinction, having scored 5 in AP Calculus BC and completed more than 12 AP classes. I also scored in the 99th percentile on my SATs.

I have extensive experience tutoring mathematics, from core concepts to advanced calculus. My approach breaks down complex problems into manageable steps, ensuring students develop a strong foundation before progressing. I emphasize practice and provide opportunities to apply knowledge through guided exercises and real-world examples.

In addition to math, I have taught Java and Python programming to high school students. I focus on helping them understand the logic behind the code and develop problem-solving skills applicable across programming languages. I encourage students to work on projects aligned with their interests to maintain motivation and engagement.

My tutoring experience has primarily been in one-on-one settings with high school students in the library, allowing me to provide personalized attention and adapt my teaching style to individual needs and learning preferences. I have been tutoring for over five years and have helped students improve their grades and confidence in both math and programming.

With my strong educational background, experience in tutoring, and commitment to student success, I am well-equipped to provide high-quality tutoring in mathematics and computer science. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and helping students achieve their academic goals.
