"I have a strong background in mathematics, computer science, and discrete math, with hands-on experience in both academic and practical applications. I have spent several years teaching and tutoring students ranging from middle school to college level, helping them build confidence and master complex concepts. My experience includes one-on-one tutoring, small group instruction, and mentoring peers in academic settings, giving me a versatile approach to supporting students with different learning styles. I focus on helping students understand the reasoning behind concepts rather than just memorizing formulas, which fosters both comprehension and retention.
In mathematics, I specialize in algebra, geometry, discrete math, and test preparation aligned with Common Core standards. I guide students through problem-solving strategies and logical reasoning exercises that improve their critical thinking and performance on exams. In computer science, I teach programming, algorithms, data structures, and software development best practices in languages including C++, Java, and Python. I emphasize practical application and clean coding habits while helping students break down complex problems into manageable steps.
My teaching philosophy centers on patience, clarity, and adaptability. I encourage students to explore problems through guided discovery, experimentation, and iterative learning. Over the years, I have helped students overcome difficulties in both math and computer science, turning frustration into confidence. By tailoring lessons to individual needs, I aim to make learning engaging, relevant, and effective for each student, whether they are preparing for standardized tests, completing coursework, or learning a new programming language from scratch." less...
