Bio

I have been tutoring STEM subjects for over a decade, developing a teaching approach that makes math, science, and coding accessible for students of all ages. I began as a private tutor in introductory physics at the University of Washington while earning my Bachelor of Science in Physics.

I have been tutoring STEM subjects for over a decade, developing a teaching approach that makes math, science, and coding accessible for students of all ages. I began as a private tutor in introductory physics at the University of Washington while earning my Bachelor of Science in Physics. My hands-on experience grew through roles at Mathnasium and Huntington Learning Center, where I prepared K-12 students for daily academic challenges and assisted high-schoolers with SAT and ACT prep. My method blends one-on-one instruction with small-group lessons, fostering an environment where tailored lesson plans simplify complex concepts and boost student confidence.
In addition to my tutoring experience, I currently work as a software engineer at Eagle Eye, where I designed and managed a check-in system for a summer camp that serves over 1,000 children daily. This role has honed my technical skills and my ability to translate real-world challenges into practical solutions. I currently run after-school clubs for VineyardAppCamp. These experiences, combined with my passion for mentoring, have shaped a dynamic teaching style that makes STEM engaging and effective for every student.
