Computer Science, Math And Electrical Engineering Tutor
About
I am a recent Ivy Legue graduate (Columbia '19, degree in Computer Engineering) who has experience teaching to a wide variety of people of different educational backgrounds and of different ages. Looking for college and high school students. I started teaching in 2015 with a 7th grade remedial math class where I taught my students simple fractions, then took my first job tutoring one-on-one for an 8th grader - who actually needed to be taught advanced algebraic skills! Since then I have tutored mainly college students in their twenties and thirties in Calculus and Algebra, and in particular in Computer Science courses. My students have told me that they most appreciate my ability to break things down when necessary, and also when to push them and accelerate their progress when they improve. Here to help you learn how to learn effectively for your specific needs!
My favorite thing about teaching making my students realize that they are able to work through their difficulties and improve if they approach the material in the way that is most suited to them. I like to remind people: nothing is "too hard" or "overly challenging" in and of itself. You are a smart and capable person with the desire to learn! That's all you need.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to learn about what my students needs are, what they feel like they struggle with and what they hope to gain from the experience. I don't think that anyone can't teach themselves anything- it's just that sometimes we need help in the process.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have taken core collegiate level Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Mathematics courses at Columbia Engineering.
How did you get started teaching?
Both of my parents were special education high school teachers- I guess teaching runs in the family.
What types of students have you worked with?
College students.
High school students.
Middle school students.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Know yourself and your educational needs. If you want someone to help you be a better student even beyond the tutoring, please consider reaching out to me. Learning is more than just information- it's growth and development.
