As a Caltech graduate with a degree in Computer Science and a minor in History, I bring a strong academic foundation and a passion for teaching to my tutoring practice. My education at one of the top STEM institutions has equipped me with deep subject matter expertise in math, science, coding, and the humanities, which I enjoy sharing with students to help them excel. Additionally, my well-rounded background allows me to connect interdisciplinary concepts in a way that makes learning engaging and practical for my students.

I have over eight years of experience as a teaching assistant and private tutor, as well as several years working with other well-known touring companies, where I gained valuable insights into different learning styles and teaching strategies. This extensive experience has allowed me to work with students ranging from elementary school to college level, helping them build confidence and achieve their academic goals. My approach is highly personalized: I assess each student’s learning style, strengths, and challenges to tailor sessions that meet their specific needs. I focus on building foundational understanding and critical thinking skills, ensuring students not only master the material but also develop the confidence to tackle new challenges independently.

My teaching methods emphasize active problem-solving and real-world applications. For instance, in my coding sessions, I guide students through practical projects that reinforce key concepts, while in math lessons, I break down complex problems into manageable steps to foster deeper understanding. At these well-known touring companies, I honed my ability to adapt lessons for students with varying skill levels, ensuring each student receives the support they need to thrive. Whether I’m breaking down intricate algorithms or helping a student craft a compelling essay, I strive to create a supportive and encouraging learning environment. My goal is to inspire curiosity and a lifelong love of learning while helping students achieve their a
