I have been fascinated by math from a very early age. In elementary school, I used to watch math tutorials for fun. In high school, I had an amazing calculus teacher who showed me not only the beauty of calculus but the power of great teaching. This inspired in me a passion for teaching, and I have been tutoring ever since.

I’m a proud Bay Area native, but I attended the University of California, San Diego, and received degrees in aerospace engineering and mechanical engineering with a specialization in controls and robotics. During these years, I had many opportunities to implement math, physics, and engineering concepts in projects and research, and I worked as a teaching assistant whenever I had the chance. From my time as a graduate teaching assistant, I developed skills in explaining tough abstract concepts and teaching students the troubleshooting processes to engage critical thinking skills. I was thrilled to receive glowing feedback from both the professors and the students.

I find great joy in sharing my excitement for STEM with others. As a tutor, I understand that math and science can be incredibly challenging, but I hope to help my students experience the satisfaction of struggling through concepts to ultimately reach understanding. I deeply empathize with students who experience school-induced anxiety and imposter syndrome, so my goal is to work hard and patiently with students to make learning fun, not a chore.

I also work part-time at a start-up that is developing a flying car, and I love studying new things in the field of Control Theory. In my free time, I love to read all genres, exercise, and try new mediums of creating art!
