"Hello! I'm Ivan, a dedicated student at the University of California, San Diego, majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Mathematics. My journey here wasn't a traditional one, but it's given me a deep appreciation for hard work and a genuine love for these subjects. I was accepted to both UCLA and UCSD for Computer Science, which are highly selective programs, and I'm happy to bring that same dedication to my students.

My qualifications for Computer Science are built on a strong foundation with 6+ years of experience in Python, along with 3+ years in web development. I have a deep understanding of core concepts like data structures, algorithms, and systems-level programming from my current coursework. For math, my qualifications are built on a perfect score of 5 on the AP Calculus BC Exam, followed by straight A's in all my lower-division college math courses.

I have over a year of professional tutoring experience from my time at Tutoring Club, where I managed groups of 3-4 students at a time. This experience taught me how to effectively accommodate different learning styles and keep students engaged, even with multiple subjects and distractions. I believe that understanding the "why" behind the concepts is more important than just memorization, and I'm confident in my ability to help students not only improve their grades but also feel more motivated and confident in their abilities.

I look forward to helping you or your child succeed!" less...
