I am an experienced math tutor, who graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor’s degree in Ocean Engineering and a minor in Mathematics. During undergraduate studies, I worked as a mathematics tutor for the university, tutoring courses from pre-algebra through differential equations. This experience taught me how to reach each student at their current level of understanding and tailor my teaching style to best serve them. I am now a practicing engineer and pursuing a Master’s degree, looking to help students gain a better understanding of math subjects.
