My passion for science and learning ignited my tutoring career during high school, and I've continued even through my undergraduate and graduate studies.

Coding: Python, C, C#/C++, Java, Arduino, Raspberry Pi
My Teaching Philosophy:
I understand that students often face time constraints, whether it's cramming for a quiz or racing to complete an assignment. My teaching philosophy is anchored in simplifying complex concepts, offering clarity, and reworking the concepts into relatable material. I believe in a direct, efficient approach that empowers students to grasp the core concepts, enabling them to tackle challenges independently. Ultimately, my goal is to not only boost grades but also instill confidence in students to approach problems with assurance, knowing that they have the tools to succeed.
When you hire a tutor, it's about more than just grades; it's about knowing you can solve the next problem. My tutoring approach is centered on empowering students with the knowledge and skills necessary to not only excel academically but to face each academic challenge with confidence.

ACT Math

ACT Math

My first ACT, I earned a 34 on the mathematics section. On the second try, I earned a 34 as well. Math has always been my best subject, and the ACT is a subject I have studied well for. I can use my specific strategies to help tackle difficult ACT problems.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I took Algebra 1 at my middle school. Even though it was 7th grade, I still understand the basic concepts of math. This fundamental course that leads to more complicated math in the future is key to master. I received perfect scores for this class; I am willing to pass on my strategies to your student!
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

Algebra 2 was a much more difficult subject to master, especially for my 10th grade year. Although I had difficulty in the beginning, after I studied harder, practiced even more, and used my simple strategies, I regained my confidence for the subject and managed to receive perfect scores for this class. This class is key for Pre-Calculus and Calculus; I am willing to pass on these strategies to your student!
Calculus

Calculus

I took AP AB Calculus in my senior year of high school, earning a perfect 5 on the exam. The next semester in college, I took Accelerated Calculus 1, equivalent to AP BC Calculus, and again, earned a perfect score of 4.0.

I am well versed in helping young children tackle challenges they face in school!
Elementary Science

Elementary Science

Science is the hardest conceptual subject for most students. In my experience, science was only difficult if the curriculum is not practiced well. When I helped students in elementary school, as part of my program with UTeach, I gained experience in helping kids throughout all the grades. I can help all elementary students overcome their struggles in school!

Although I have struggled in a few courses, I would adapt my learning and find different strategies to help me thoroughly understand the subject. Geometry is hard subject for students that are not visual learners. I am not a visual learner either, but I created simple strategies to help ease that problem!
Grammar

Grammar

English grammar just comes with practice. I have learned how to spot key differences in certain words or complex sentences. All this subject requires is my direct help with certain words but also practice. I have tutored few English students but each one did earn higher grades after.

Solidworks

Solidworks

During undergraduate, I spent countless days practicing and creating parts in SolidWorks. I am well versed on several techniques used on the software, and I have used every tool available on the platform. For my design project, I led the team in designing 3 sub-systems, the simulations for each system, and creating the manufacturing version of each component. SolidWorks is my highest skill gained from my engineering degree
