"I believe that a teacher's greatest achievement lies in nurturing an enduring love for learning, and fostering a deep understanding of the world that only comes with a comprehensive integration of knowledge. I most enjoy teaching curious and energetic children and young adults, who are eager to explore and open their minds, and I consider it one of my strengths to be able to connect with children, and unlock their inner strength to pursue their passions.

I am currently studying pure mathematics and working as an AI consultant. Previously I co-founded a robotics startup in Silicon Valley and worked on it for 8 years, serving some of the largest tech companies in the world, and helped generating 9 robotics patents. Before that I did one year of teaching, as a Teaching Fellow of AI and Robotics at a technology education group in Silicon Valley. The group size I worked with ranges from one-on-one to over a hundred.

Subjects I focus on:

Programming and robotics: Besides starting and managing a robotics company, I have 20+ years of experience in programming, mostly in Python and C++. I am very familiar with education robot kits, such as LEGO Mindstorms.

Mathematics: any thing from US K-12 math subjects, to Calculus, Linear Algebra, Real Analysis, Topology, Abstract Algebra, Combinatorics, Probability, Logic, etc.

Education:

Former PhD student in biomechanics, Georgia Tech (dropped out to start a robotics company);

B.S. in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, from a top-5 university in China

Note: I am tutoring out of good will and for cutting my costs, not for making a living. If you are on a tight budget and you don't need much time, I'm willing to consider a discount.

Interesting fact: there was a time that I was very uncomfortable with mathematics :)" less...
