"Hi, I'm Lydia! I recently graduated from UC Berkeley with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Next, I'm pursuing a PhD at USC, focusing on human-robot interaction. Eventually, I hope to become a professor. I love both learning and teaching, and in particular I enjoy computer science and mathematics because they're like fun puzzles. I strive to make lessons engaging for my students, and I'm a very patient teacher who tries multiple approaches when something doesn't stick.

I've taught students from all walks of life - from volunteering at a computer science outreach program for elementary school students at a transition home to being a tutor for UC Berkeley law students learning python to being a TA for a couple of undergraduate UC Berkeley courses. I've also privately tutored students ranging from elementary school through college, so I'm looking forward to helping you succeed no matter where you're at!

I really enjoy making sure that students have a good intuitive understanding of the content. Sometimes, this means taking a step back to build the basics, but I always find it worthwhile. You'd be surprised how much easier peoples' lives become when they spend a bit more time getting comfortable with fractions, or other seemingly simple building blocks.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to set up a session!" less...
