About
I love witnessing the "lightbulb" moment with my students. I strive to make sure everyone of my students can understand the concepts I teach and the underlying groundwork to establish greater understanding of future concepts.
Teaching is satisfactory! I always appreciate those who seek out help in a subject they don't fully grasp. My favorite part of teaching is showing my students the potential they already had inside of them.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to get to know their style and tempo of learning before anything so I can tailor my tutoring to fit their scope of understanding.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been a professional snowboard tutor for 5+ years. I apply the same learning principles and techniques used to teach snowboarding into my academic tutoring.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Not yet!
How did you get started teaching?
I got started teaching through tutoring snowboarding when I was 13. I discovered I had a knack for simplifying complex tasks through teaching snowboating, so I started to tutor physics in 11th grade.
Now I tutor Calculus and Introduction Computer Science Classes.
What types of students have you worked with?
Highschool and College level students.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
A fantastic conversation struck up in a Starbucks with a friend. An hour and a half somehow melted away as we discussed whatever crossed our minds at the moment.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Computer science is abstract- Find someone who makes the abstract, concrete.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Students should ask themselves:
"What do I know for certain?"
"What do I kinda understand but no fully?"
"What am I completely lost on?"
