As a Computer Science major at Bellevue College specializing in backend software engineering, I am passionate about helping students demystify mathematics and programming. I am currently immersed in advanced coursework and open-source development, utilizing Java, C++, and Python to build everything from data processing pipelines to deterministic workflow engines. My recent software engineering internship and ongoing independent development projects allow me to bring real-world, practical coding standards directly into our tutoring sessions, bridging the gap between theoretical math concepts and applied computer science.
My teaching and mentoring experience spans several years across diverse age groups and environments. During high school, I served for two years as the Officer in Charge of an armed drill team, where I instructed and mentored large groups of my peers in a highly structured setting. Later, in restaurant operations management, I spent extensive time providing one-on-one training to adult staff members, adapting my instructional style to fit different learning paces. Today, I routinely mentor university peers through complex technical interview roadmaps, focusing specifically on data structures, algorithms, and logical problem-solving. Whether I am working with high school students tackling AP Computer Science or college students navigating complex mathematics, I understand how to break down intimidating subjects into manageable pieces.
My tutoring methodology relies heavily on practical problem-solving and Socratic guided hints rather than simply feeding students the answers. I believe that mastering programming and mathematics requires active engagement, so we will focus heavily on pseudo-code planning, logical breakdowns, and step-by-step tracing. By working together through advanced algorithms, object-oriented programming mechanics, or complex mathematical functions, my ultimate goal is to build your confidence and equip you with the foundational skills needed to succeed independently.
