AeroAstro & Finance @ MIT

Khue P.

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering (Course 16) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with additional coursework in Finance (possibly pursuing a double major). My academic background is grounded in strong problem-solving skills across STEM subjects, especially in calculus, Physics mechanics, and electromagnetism. I also have my fair share of college counseling, getting into top universities such as Stanford, Princeton, Columbia, USC, and so on.

I have tutored students for over three years, working with high school and early college learners. My experience includes both volunteer tutoring in underserved communities and peer mentoring in academic summer programs such as the NASA High School Aerospace Scholars, where I served as a peer mentor and NASA ambassador for 36 participants. In this role, I offered one-on-one support, held group problem-solving sessions, and helped guide students through technical challenges involving CAD, systems engineering, and scientific writing.

My tutoring method is adaptive and student-centered, emphasizing foundational understanding and confidence-building. I often use analogies and real-world applications to reinforce difficult concepts and encourage curiosity. I’ve worked with students aged 14–20, both in-person and virtually, and am comfortable teaching everything from basic algebra to intro physics.

This combination of technical expertise, communication skills, and teaching experience equips me to support a diverse range of learners in math, science, and engineering.
