Recent university graduate with rigorous mathematical training

I recently graduated from Purdue University with a degree in Mathematics-Computer Science, and a degree in Electrical Engineering. Having a second degree in Electrical Engineering allowed me to thoroughly understand the applications of the topics I learned in my math courses. I currently work as an engineer, but I truly enjoy teaching. If my skillset can be beneficial to people, I'd love to share it with them.

In middle and high school, math always came easily to me. I consistently scored highly on standardized tests, earning a 5 on the AP Calculus AB exam, a 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam, a 5 on the AP Statistics exam, and 800 on the Math level 2 subject SAT. I also did very well in quantitative based classes, like physics and chemistry. While I do not consider myself an expert in those subjects, I am happy to help in that area as well.

I love teaching people about topics I am strong in, and helping people develop confidence in a tricky subject. One of the most rewarding experiences I had was when I tutored a student who believed she was not good in math and did not want to pursue a STEM major. However, after working with her for two years, she gained a lot of confidence, and realized that she could succeed in an engineering major. My ultimate goal is to help students gain enough confidence to realize that a STEM major is something they do not have to rule out because of their lacking skillset in math.
