"I’m a transferring computer science student who recently completed four years at San José City College, where I earned multiple associate degrees: an Associate of Science in Computer Programming, Mathematics, and Engineering, as well as an Associate of Arts in Scientific Inquiry and Quantitative Reasoning. My academic background gives me a strong foundation in math, logic, and problem-solving, and I enjoy helping students break down challenging material into ideas that actually make sense.

I’ve been tutoring on campus since Fall 2023 and regularly work with students in Calculus I, II, and III, Precalculus, C/C++, Java, and Data Structures. My experience includes one-on-one tutoring, small group sessions, drop-in tutoring centers, and online instruction. I primarily tutor college-level students, but I’ve also worked with high school students and adult learners. Many students return to me week after week, and I’m often asked to work with students outside of scheduled tutoring hours due to strong results and positive feedback.

My teaching style is concept-first, especially in math, so students understand why something works before memorizing steps. I adapt to different learning styles and explain complex topics in multiple ways, with a strong focus on problem-based learning and exam preparation. I care a lot about building confidence, and students frequently tell me that tutoring with me helped them succeed in difficult courses and feel more comfortable asking questions. I strive to create a supportive, welcoming, and LGBTQ+ friendly learning environment where all students feel respected and encouraged." less...
