"Hi, I'm Sean! I am currently studying Computer Science at the California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. I have always been a strong advocate for personalized, one-on-one learning: not only does it meet the needs of each individual student but it also encourages personal and academic growth. Because schools often place dozens of students in a singular classroom, it can be hard to find the attention, pacing, and style each student needs to thrive. Thus, I wish to help students by addressing their specific needs, including explaining concepts, assisting with homework, answering general questions, and reviewing lessons.

In the past, I have tutored students across several grade levels, though I typically work with high school students. I have served as a high school Academic Decathlon subject coach in music, math, science, and economics for 3 years, and I have tutored high school math in the summer for 2 years. Through an after-school tutoring program, I have tutored middle to high school students in various STEM subjects, such as chemistry, pre-calculus, statistics, and more.

My approach to tutoring is one of understanding as I have found that my students are most successful when they truly comprehend the content rather than memorize the right answers. I have found visual representations and real-world connections effective in helping students understand advanced concepts. As I'm passionate about learning, I strive to motivate a similar enthusiasm in my students and enjoy seeing their improvement as the content becomes clearer.

I specialize in AP and IB preparation in STEM courses, such as Chemistry, Statistics, and Pre-calculus. However, I also cover other subjects and have experience with non-AP/IB classes, ranging from Music Theory to Economics. To best support my students, I offer a flexible schedule with availability seven days a week, covering most hours.

Please contact me with any questions about scheduling a session, my qualifications, or if you would like a free 30-minute consultation!" less...
