Hello, my name is Victor! I’m a third year undergraduate at the University of Michigan working toward a Bachelor’s of Science in Engineering (BSE) specializing in Climate and Meteorology. My engineering coursework has given me a strong foundation in math (up to differential equations), physics, chemistry, and programming, and through work and internship experience I have extensively developed skills in Python for data visualization and machine learning. As someone who struggled through these subjects and still received top grades, I understand just how difficult they can be and the importance of having some extra help from a student. Some of my best educational experiences have been when a student was able to explain a topic to me slowly in a different way that made it click. I find joy in being able to provide that same support to students going through the same struggles that I did, and I will work hard to help you gain a deep level of understanding and give you confidence in your ability to solve problems.
For the last year I have served as an instructional assistant, both for a large hybrid climate science lecture and small in-person GIS lab sections. This gives me a breadth of experience in providing instruction in different settings. For the hybrid class I conducted 40 virtual office hours over Zoom, directing students to resources for answering homework questions and guiding them through problems involving calculations and software applications. In the GIS lab I conduct in-person office hours and help students during class by troubleshooting issues in ArcGIS Pro and explaining difficult concepts such as the difference between a union and an intersect. While my instructional experience is all at the college level, I have taken these subjects at the high school honors and AP levels so I have no problem adjusting my instructional level to match your needs.
I look forward to working with you on homework problems and preparing for exams, and helping you work through any tricky concepts!
