Trish C.

Educational Background
I hold a bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering and have graduated with my MBA, where my studies focused on technological and ethical aspects of artificial intelligence. My academic background equips me with a strong foundation in both STEM and critical thinking, which enables me to explain complex concepts in an accessible way.

Tutoring and Teaching Experience
I have extensive experience in both structured and informal teaching environments. As a teaching assistant for a in grad school, I have provided targeted guidance and support to university students, helping them navigate complex ethical frameworks through one-on-one sessions and group discussions. Additionally, I led a mentorship program for my undergrad when I was working professionally, where I created a welcoming and inclusive learning environment for new hires. Here, I developed hands-on learning resources and offered tailored guidance to foster skill development and confidence.

Teaching Context and Approach
My teaching approach is adaptable to both individual and group settings. In the classroom, I focus on building foundational understanding before moving on to application-based learning. In one-on-one settings, I adjust my approach based on each student’s learning style, focusing on real-world examples, patience, and encouragement to build both competence and confidence. My experience spans a variety of age groups, including elementary and middle school students, university students, and early-career professionals, which has refined my ability to adjust content delivery to meet individual needs.
