About Me

With years of hands-on experience tutoring students in math, coding, science, and test prep, I bring a passionate, adaptable approach to teaching that meets each student exactly where they are. My tutoring journey began with helping classmates grasp difficult concepts in calculus and computer science, and it grew into a love for making complex ideas feel intuitive and engaging. Whether breaking down multivariable calculus, guiding students through their first lines of code, or preparing them for standardized exams like the SAT, I focus on building confidence and curiosity alongside academic skill. I tutor a wide range of subjects, including Pre-Algebra through Calculus III, Linear Algebra, High School Biology, Python, Java, R, and SAT Math and Reading. My favorite subjects to tutor are math and programming, because they offer students a toolkit to solve real-world problems, build cool projects, and think creatively about how the world works. My teaching philosophy centers on empowerment and active learning. I believe students succeed when they feel safe to ask questions, explore solutions, and connect learning to their interests. I prioritize understanding over memorization, and I tailor every session to the student's pace, goals, and learning style. Outside of academics, I'm a gym enthusiast training for my first powerlifting competition, a software developer building real-world applications, and a multi-time hackathon winner. I bring that same energy and drive into every tutoring session, aiming not just to teach, but to inspire.
