I'm a sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania studying computer science in the engineering school. My background is heavily quantitative — I've completed calculus and multivariable calculus, earned 5s on all of my AP math and computer science exams, and scored a 1560 on the SAT. I tutor the subjects I genuinely love and use every day: math through calculus, computer science, and coding in Python and Java.
I've been teaching for several years across a wide range of ages. I previously worked at Code Ninjas, where I taught coding to elementary and middle school students, and I volunteered as a tutor throughout high school, helping my peers one-on-one with calculus and other subjects. I've also led a coding camp in a classroom setting, so I'm comfortable both working closely with a single student and keeping a whole room engaged.
My teaching philosophy is based on joy and curiousity: I want my students to truly understand material, not just memorize it. If an explanation doesn't click the first time, I'll mark it and revisit the topics with a twist on what they already know, to make sure they really got it. I also tailor my analogies to each student's interests, because material sticks better when it connects to something they already care about. That personal connection matters to me too; students learn best from someone they actually enjoy working with, and I aim to be that tutor.
