About
My business is run by myself exclusively and was created for my drive to help others enjoy learning and understanding even the most daunting of subjects. I am currently a fourth BS Computer Engineering major at San Jose State University and only teach classes that I have received a college course A or the equivalent of such in. In times of quarantine, I feel it is essential to maximize human interaction in order to receive a rounded education, even if that interaction is virtual.
I helping people see how fun and satisfying math can be once viewed in the proper way.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When working with a new student it is crucial to establish a baseline of understanding. If my student is confused about a concept from prior curriculum then any further progress attempted to be made is a moot point. I love working with students who genuinely want to learn. If we can see progress as a collaborative effort the sky is our limit!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Often I will look to help students through my school's app allowing any students to post and ask for help in specific classes.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My rates vary depending on circumstance and whether it's in person or virtual. Usually around $35-40/hr, but if one purchases many sessions at once I am willing to go lower depending on what subject and how many sessions. I usually don't do less than two to three 1 hour sessions with one student as I don't feel that is effective in the learning process.
How did you get started teaching?
I have recently started tutoring as a way to interact with others and help them during the quarantine.
What types of students have you worked with?
Mostly college students from various majors at my school.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look for a teacher that keeps you engaged. No one is "not a math person". Some people get things quicker, but anyone can get it eventually. Too many people are told too early that they aren't capable.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Understand what you are asking. Going in blindly and hoping for some magic solution to all your confusion puts your teacher into a corner and will probably just make you more confused and frustrated.
