I am a highly trained professional who has 14+ years of experience teaching many different sciences and abstract thinking arts. This experience allows me to decompose problems and explain how to find the solution in just about any subject field.

I have worked with students of all ages and skills, ranging from 12 years to 70+ years, from adults seeking to get their GED to graduate computer science students looking to get their first job. I know how to unlock the potential in anybody who has the drive and passion.

I have over four years of training doing scientific research in neuroscience, biochemistry, and ecology. Science is not just about "facts." Science is about investigation and building models and abstractions to understand our world. I can teach you both the Theory *and* the practice of science.

I have taught science for nearly 10 years at the college and high school level. I have been trained to teach it effectively through my completion of secondary education certification through Michigan State University.

I am a software engineer who works for a tech company and makes 6 figures. I also have plenty of experience teaching and mentoring: I was a technical coach for Flatiron bootcamp for almost a year, have helped graduating students find their first programming job, and have trained interns at my company.

I am also an avid master chess player. I have been playing for 25+ years and attained the title of National Master. My peak rating (2250) put me in the 99th percentile of all players in the United States. I am active on chess.com and my peak blitz rating there (2416) put me in the top 99.9 percentile. I have also coached scholastic chess at the high school level.

I have the knowledge to help you take your skills to the next level. I love hearing from students! Message me and tell me what kind of tutoring you are looking for. I will always be prepared for every lesson we have together.
