"Hi! My name is Zach, and I am a recent graduate in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from UC Berkeley and an incoming Machine Learning Engineer. In my experiences as a student I’ve found that the right instructor makes the difference between simply passing a class and truly enjoying the subject. As a tutor, my goal is to teach effectively while fostering a genuine interest in the material to keep the experience fun and approachable.

I have over three years of experience on Wyzant and have served as official course staff for programming and math at UC Berkeley. My expertise centers on Python, C++, and the full range of undergraduate mathematics, including Calculus, Linear Algebra, Statistics, Probability, Discrete Math, and Optimization. Additionally, I have extensive experience tutoring Physics, specifically Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism, and I am always happy to assist students navigating these challenging courses.

Beyond university-level instruction, I spent two years as a Lead Instructor at Code Ninjas teaching programming to students aged 8–14. This experience taught me how to translate complex, abstract concepts into simple terms for any learning style. Whether I am working with a young beginner or a college student tackling advanced engineering coursework, I focus on keeping the session engaging and centered on the student's unique needs.

I know how demanding schoolwork can be, especially at the university level. My mission is to help you not just learn the material, but build the foundational skills and motivation necessary to excel in the future. Whatever your goals may be, I am here to help. Feel free to contact me with any questions!" less...
