"My educational foundation spans multiple disciplines, beginning with a Bachelor's degree in Physics from UC Berkeley, followed by both a Master's and PhD in Nuclear Engineering from the Air Force Institute of Technology. Throughout my academic journey, I gained extensive programming experience and developed expertise in artificial intelligence and machine learning. My professional career has included work with national laboratories and industry partners, applying theoretical knowledge to solve real-world engineering and physics challenges.

My tutoring experience extends over ten years across diverse subjects and student populations. Starting in high school tutoring students overseas, I learned to adapt teaching methods to different cultural contexts and learning styles. This continued through my undergraduate years at UC Berkeley tutoring mathematics and physics, and into graduate school helping peers with complex engineering concepts. My teaching spans mathematics, physics, programming, machine learning, test preparation, piano, martial arts, and basic Mandarin Chinese, working with students from middle school through graduate level.

My veteran background has instilled discipline and patience essential for effective instruction, while my research experience allows me to provide real-world context for abstract concepts. I believe in breaking complex topics into manageable components using practical examples. Online teaching platforms offer remarkable flexibility that enhances the learning experience, and my interdisciplinary background helps students see connections between subjects while developing critical thinking skills" less...
