I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. My coursework includes digital electronics, signal processing, digital logic, assembly, embedded systems, and communication protocols. I also hold an Oracle Certified Java Associate Developer certification and an MITx/edX certification in Computer Science Using Python. These experiences have given me a strong foundation in mathematics, computer science, programming, and engineering.

I have previous experience tutoring students and plan to tutor at UT Austin this year, including Linear Algebra. In my past tutoring experiences, I worked with students to explain difficult concepts, guide them through problems step-by-step, and develop independent problem-solving skills. I focus on identifying where a student is struggling and adapting my explanations to their level of understanding. I use examples, guided practice, and alternative explanations when necessary.

I also founded and served as President of a Raspberry Pi Club from 2023 to 2025, where I taught and guided more than 20 high school students. I introduced students to Raspberry Pi hardware, programming, and operating systems through hands-on projects. Since students had different levels of experience, I learned to adjust my teaching approach and provide individualized guidance while encouraging students to solve problems independently.

My technical experience further strengthens my ability to tutor STEM subjects. I have completed two software engineering internships at Atlassian and an embedded systems engineering internship involving C, Python, Assembly, Raspberry Pi, communication protocols, and hardware debugging. I have also led a six-student engineering team in a NASA competition and completed research involving Python, algorithms, and data analysis. These experiences have taught me to break complex concepts into manageable steps and communicate technical material clearly and patiently.

Approved Subjects

Calculus

Calculus

I earned a 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam and have continued developing my mathematical foundation as an Electrical and Computer Engineering student at The University of Texas at Austin. Through NASA’s Artemis App Development Challenge and NASA SPARX programs, I applied calculus and mathematical concepts to analyze large lunar datasets, develop algorithms, and model complex terrain for rover navigation. I also have previous tutoring experience and focus on breaking challenging problems into clear, manageable steps while helping students understand the reasoning behind each solution. I am passionate about helping students build both their calculus skills and confidence in approaching unfamiliar problems!
Electrical Engineering

Electrical Engineering

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin, where I have developed hands-on experience with electronics, embedded systems, digital logic, and PCB design. Most recently, I led a six-student team in developing HeartSense, a wearable device using an ESP32 and MPU-6050 to capture and process mechanical heart vibrations, integrating hardware, software, signal processing, and wireless communication. Through my ECE coursework, I have also designed and built a functional game PCB using KiCad and applied concepts involving digital electronics, circuits, and embedded systems. I enjoy breaking down complex engineering concepts into practical, understandable steps and helping students develop the confidence to design and troubleshoot their own projects!
Python

Python

I have several years of experience using Python for programming, data analysis, algorithms, and engineering projects. Through NASA’s Artemis App Development Challenge, I used Python, Jupyter Notebook, Matplotlib, and Plotly to analyze a 1.5-million-point lunar dataset, visualize 2D and 3D terrain, and develop algorithms for rover navigation and communication checkpoints. I also hold an MITx/edX certification in Computer Science Using Python and have applied Python to embedded systems and engineering projects, including my recent HeartSense wearable device project. I have previous tutoring and teaching experience and focus on helping students understand programming concepts and develop problem-solving skills rather than simply memorizing code!
SAT Math

SAT Math

I scored a 790 on the Math section of the SAT, demonstrating a strong foundation in algebra, advanced mathematics, problem-solving, and quantitative reasoning. As an Electrical and Computer Engineering student at The University of Texas at Austin, I continue to use mathematics extensively in my coursework and engineering projects. I have previous tutoring and teaching experience and focus on helping students recognize patterns, understand the reasoning behind problems, and develop efficient strategies rather than relying on memorization. I am especially comfortable helping students prepare for the Digital SAT by practicing both content mastery and the problem-solving skills needed to approach unfamiliar questions confidently!
