Hello! I'm Ray, a graduate student in Electrical Engineering at Penn State University. I completed my undergraduate degrees in both Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering, and I've been deeply involved in tutoring and academic support throughout my time at Penn State.

Over the years, I’ve worked as a teaching assistant and tutor at the Academic Excellence Center, helping students in a wide range of subjects—from foundational STEM courses to advanced engineering topics. These include:

Core Engineering & Math: Intro to Engineering, Calculus I–III, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, and Statistics

Science Courses: General Chemistry I–II, Physics I–IV

Electrical & Computer Engineering: Circuit Analysis, Digital Logic, Microcontrollers, Computer Architecture, VHDL/Verilog, Assembly, and Embedded Systems

Programming: Python, C/C++, MATLAB, and more

Whether you’re just starting out or diving into advanced coursework, I bring a clear, patient, and engaging approach to every session. I specialize in making complex concepts accessible and helping students build the confidence they need to succeed.

I’m quick to respond, flexible with scheduling, and always happy to adapt my teaching style or materials to suit your needs. Let’s work together to hit your academic goals—I’m excited to help you get there!

Knowledgeable and Helpful tutor

In the lessons that we review he helped me create a study plan as well as understand fundamental concepts that I needed to understand before moving forward into other complex topics. I have a greater understanding of the Linear Algebra, I also feel confident for the test
