I bring a powerful combination of advanced engineering expertise and genuine passion for education to every tutoring session. As a 2024 graduate of the University of Virginia with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and a minor in engineering business, I've built the deep technical foundation that allows me to make even the most challenging concepts accessible. My academic journey included undergraduate research that culminated in a published paper. Now pursuing my master's degree at Johns Hopkins University while working as a professional engineer, I bring five years of real-world experience that transforms abstract concepts into concrete examples students can grasp and remember.
What sets my tutoring apart is my proven methodology that has helped students across all age groups achieve breakthrough results. I've successfully guided middle school, high school, and college students through everything from foundational math to advanced engineering topics. During my undergraduate years, I served as a peer advisor in freshman orientation and academic advising programs, helping students navigate course selection and the transition to college life. Through academic mentoring committees in my fraternity, I continue to mentor students, providing guidance on college applications, essay writing, SAT/ACT preparation, and study strategies.
My expertise spans mathematics from elementary concepts through college-level calculus and differential equations, plus specialized engineering subjects and comprehensive college preparation. Whether you're preparing for standardized tests, working on college essays, or struggling with coursework, I tailor every session to your unique needs. My approach is systematic yet personalized: I identify where you're struggling, then walk you through problem-solving techniques while explaining not just how to get the answer, but why each step matters. This builds the pattern recognition and deep understanding that lead to lasting confidence and long-term success.

College Counseling

College Counseling

As a University of Virginia graduate and current Johns Hopkins master's student, I have extensive experience guiding students through their college journey. I served as a peer advisor in multiple freshman orientation and academic advising programs during my undergraduate years, helping new students navigate course selection, major requirements, and the transition to college life. Through academic mentoring committees in my fraternity, I continue to mentor high school and college students in my local area, providing guidance on college applications, study strategies, time management, and career preparation. My combination of formal peer advising experience and ongoing mentorship work allows me to offer relevant, practical advice that helps students successfully navigate their academic journey and achieve their goals.
Discrete Math

Discrete Math

I hold a Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering from the University of Virginia and am currently pursuing my Master's in Electrical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, where discrete mathematics forms the foundation of my advanced coursework. During my undergraduate years, I served as a peer advisor helping students master discrete math concepts including logic, set theory, graph theory, and combinatorics. My professional work as an RF Design Engineer for the Department of Defense requires daily application of discrete mathematical principles in signal processing and algorithm development. I have a proven track record of breaking down complex mathematical concepts into clear, understandable explanations that help students succeed.
Electrical Engineering

Electrical Engineering

I have a BS in Electrical Engineering (University of Virginia) and am currently pursuing my MS in Electrical Engineering(Johns Hopkins University). Both have a focus on. RF engineering. I am currently a professional engineer for the Department of Defense
Logic

Logic

I hold a Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering from the University of Virginia and am pursuing my Master's in Electrical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, where digital logic design is fundamental to my advanced coursework and research. My professional work as an RF Design Engineer for the Department of Defense requires daily application of digital logic principles in signal processing systems, finite state machines, and hardware implementations. During my undergraduate studies, I served as a peer advisor helping students master Boolean algebra, combinational and sequential circuit design, and hardware description languages. I excel at making complex logic concepts accessible through clear explanations and practical examples that connect theory to real-world applications.
MATLAB

MATLAB

As an electrical engineer with over six years of MATLAB experience, I have used this powerful tool extensively throughout my academic and professional career. During my undergraduate studies at the University of Virginia and current graduate work at Johns Hopkins University, I have applied MATLAB to solve complex problems in advanced engineering courses and linear algebra applications. My professional experience at the Department of Defense has further strengthened my MATLAB skills, using it for signal processing, data analysis, and system modeling in radio frequency and communication system design. I can help students at any level master MATLAB fundamentals, develop efficient coding practices, and apply MATLAB to solve real-world engineering problems with confidence.
