About
Hello! My name is Josh and I moved here to Eugene last summer after graduating from University of Southern California with a Master's in Computer Science (May 2023). I also studied Mathematics and Physics at Vanderbilt University, graduating Summa Cum Laude. Math has been my most beloved subject since pre-K and I love solving math puzzles for fun! As a teaching assistant at USC, my favorite classes were AI and cryptography. Mirroring my undergrad experience, I noticed that my students often felt overwhelmed by everything on their plate. This inspired me to create a decompressing environment, integrating tea and mindfulness practices during office hours and discussion groups. I also loved crafting creative assignments that reviewed the core concepts without the busy work in order to minimize stress. As a tutor, I am excited to co-create a relaxing space conducive to learning, calling in patience, self-care, and creative expression to help students feel empowered to navigate roadblocks.
