Hi! My name is Dion and I have over 10 years experience in software engineering and civil engineering. I graduated with a BS in Civil and Environmental Engineering, and have since worked as a civil engineer for cities, municipal engineering consultants, and environmental and surface water consultants. I also have experience as a software engineer for companies in the educational technology and insurance industries, holding a certificate in web development as my main credentials. Additionally, I coach high school football at the 4A level, and have coached (and refereed) youth soccer.

I have been a tutor for various subjects as early as the age of 12 for reading and 16 for math, with experience in math up to Calculus 3. As part of my degree, I have taken math and science courses such as advanced multivariable calculus, chemistry, and physics, with limited formal experience tutoring such subjects, mostly collaborating with other peers for these classes. However, I have tutored students in the past for introductory fluid mechanics, web development, and groundwater hydrology (geohydrology).

My experience as a coach and tutor has given me tons of face to face interactions with kids 7 and older, and I have leaned on these to communicate effectively and get my students to understand academic material from multiple perspectives. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about my teaching style and credentials, or to schedule lessons at any time!

Algebra 2

Algebra 2

Tutor with over 15 years of experience. Specializing in math and fundamentals of engineering including introductory sciences. Experienced with students 8 and older
AutoCAD

AutoCAD

I am a Civil and Environmental Engineer practicing in the state of Washington with professional experience using Autodesk design software in real-world engineering applications. I am highly proficient in AutoCAD and have extensive experience working with Civil 3D, applying these tools to create, modify, and analyze engineering drawings and models. My background allows me to teach both fundamental drafting skills and practical workflows commonly used in industry.
Football

Football

I have over five years of coaching experience at the high school level, currently serving as a Varsity Assistant Coach for a 4A football program. In this role, I am the Special Teams Coordinator and also work closely with wide receivers, helping to develop their technical skills and on-field performance. Additionally, I serve as the Junior Varsity Offensive Coordinator, where I design game strategies, teach offensive concepts, and mentor student-athletes in both skill development and teamwork.
React

React

I have experience professionally developing web applications using React.js, where I build responsive, component-based user interfaces and manage application state effectively. In my work as a software engineer, I have used React alongside modern JavaScript (ES6+), APIs, and front-end development best practices to create scalable and maintainable applications. This experience allows me to teach both foundational React concepts, such as components, props, and state, as well as more advanced topics like hooks, state management, and application architecture. Additionally, I have experience as a partnered tutor for coding certificate programs at the University of Washington, University of California, and University of Texas.
Soccer

Soccer

I am a certified United States Soccer Federation (USSF) referee, a role I have held since 2023, which has strengthened my understanding of the rules, game management, and player development. I also have over eight years of experience coaching soccer at various levels, including working as a volunteer coach for youth players ages 7 and older. Through this experience, I have developed the ability to teach fundamental skills, game strategy, and sportsmanship to players at different stages of their development.

Incredible tutor for our 14 year old boy

​Dion has been working with my 14-year-old son for the past three months, primarily focusing on reading comprehension and math, alongside general academic support. Finding someone who can genuinely connect with a teenager while maintaining a structured, results-driven approach isn't easy, but Dion established real rapport and trust right out of the gate. ​What truly sets him apart is his execution. His level of preparation before each session and the detailed follow-up he provides afterward are exceptional. Rather than just helping patch over daily homework, Dion focuses on identifying the root causes of academic challenges and works patiently to build the foundational skills necessary for long-term success. We are incredibly grateful for his impact and look forward to continuing to work with him.
