Computer scientist/mathematician: courses/test prep/indep. study

Stephen N.

Hi! I'm a current Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Princeton, with Master's and Bachelor's (the latter magna cum laude) degrees in Mathematics from Yale. Send me a message and let me know what you need -- whatever knowledge or skills you want to build, I'm here to help!

I've been tutoring since I was thirteen, and I have taught elementary school students, university students, and just about every stage in between! In the past decade, I've taught over a hundred students in one-on-one or small-group settings, focusing on understanding their educational needs and goals and helping them meet them. When I work with students, I'm passionate about meeting them where they are and empowering them to drive their own growth to the next level. I make sure to give my students the support that they need to succeed, whether they're focusing on the material for an analysis midterm tomorrow, studying for the SATs next year, or anything else. I'm also happy to work to develop the broader intellectual and problem-solving skills that will let students meet their long-term goals.

I can tutor a wide variety of standardized tests (SAT (scored 1580), ACT (never taken, but skills transfer well from the SAT), almost all STEM APs (got 5s in Calc, Statistics, Physics C, Chemistry, Biology, etc.)) and can teach computer science up to the graduate level, mathematics up to the high undergraduate level, physics up through the intermediate undergraduate level, and most other STEM courses through at least the high school level. I'm also happy to work on broader mathematical skills, like proof-writing, approaching challenging problems, and much more! If you're struggling with a topic that you think might be in my wheelhouse, reach out, and I'll let you know if I can help!
