How did you get started teaching?
I started as an Embedded Tutor for a College Algebra (Math 103) class at Fresno City College, and have been a certified tutor ever since. I went on to tutor everything in the Engineering/Science Math category and below at Fresno State (i.e. Trigonometry, Geometry, Algebra I & II, Pre-Calculus, Calculus 1-3, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, etc.). I can also tutor some entry-level engineering courses.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I worked on the X-59 project for my NASA internship at Glenn Research Center. I got to do material analysis on the model used for the wind tunnel testing.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Have you used all avaiable resources (i.e. textbook, YouTube, Khan Academy, etc.)?
Did you take proper notes?
Do you have any basic practice problems to establish a baseline knowledge?
