I'm a graduate student at Columbia University with a strong academic background in Computer Science and Physics, holding a B.A. from Wesleyan University where I graduated with a perfect 4.0 GPA. During my undergraduate years, I served as a teaching assistant for multiple courses in the Computer Science department, including Functional Programming, Design of Programming Languages, and Machine Learning. In this role, I supported both introductory and advanced students by leading office hours, answering questions during class, and helping students work through complex problems one-on-one. My goal was always to break down challenging technical material into clear, approachable explanations, adapting my methods to fit each student’s learning style.

In addition to my teaching assistant work, I’ve provided private tutoring in math, computer science, and physics to high school. My approach is rooted in patience, active listening, and targeted problem-solving: I aim to uncover gaps in understanding and build lasting confidence by reinforcing foundational concepts. I have worked with students of varying backgrounds and skill levels, from those just starting out to those tackling advanced coursework, and I enjoy helping them connect abstract ideas to real-world applications. With years of hands-on experience both in education and in the tech industry, I’m excited to help students deepen their understanding, improve their performance, and achieve their academic goals.

I hold a B.A. in Computer Science from Wesleyan University, where I graduated with a 4.0 GPA and served as a teaching assistant for several CS courses, including Functional Programming and Machine Learning. I’ve worked professionally as a software engineer and as a founding engineer at a startup, giving me deep, practical knowledge of both foundational and advanced CS topics. I’ve also tutored students one-on-one in areas ranging from basic programming to systems and algorithms. My teaching style is clear, patient, and focused on building lasting understanding.
