I am a graduate of Elon University. I have my BS in Physics and Music Production. I was President of the Physics Club as I studied sound. I am now an audio engineer and lead singer in a band! My unique academic and professional experiences allow me to connect with my students.
Growing up, I always loved learning, but I particularly enjoyed math and seemed to excel in the subject with relative ease. While in high school, I individually tutored middle school students in math and enjoyed watching them master new skills. Because of this, I decided to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics. As I delved further into the major, I struggled through some of the abstract theory classes, which made me question my abilities. With additional help from various tutors, I persevered and learned the satisfaction that comes with mastering a subject that was once so daunting. I believe that all students are faced with a similar lack of confidence at some point, and having someone to help you through your struggles can make the difference between success and failure.

volleyball and bouldering with friends.
With almost a decade of experience as a language tutor, I help students identify their strengths and weaknesses. I focus on supporting students in vocabulary, grammar and reading comprehension, which makes them confident while confronting tests. Meanwhile I also encourage my students to speak out because I believe speaking involves all your understandings of a language. Whenever necessary, I will introduce culture backgrounds which enable students to have a deep understanding. I want to draw out curiosity and passion from my students and wish them become lifelong language lovers.
I prefer teaching with hard-working and motivated learners. I wish my tutoring as teamwork rather than a one-way lecturing. I like discovering people’s potentials. Questions are always welcome. I am flexible and patient. I am ready to support whatever your goal might be.

I know from personal experience that success or failure in grasping a subject has less to do with their particular level of intelligence, interest, and effort, and more to do with presentation of the material. My own experience has proven that fact to me very clearly. I have been a near straight A student my entire life, except – perhaps quite ironically – with high school Mathematics. I struggled so deeply in high school Trigonometry and Calculus that I suspect I was given the lowest possible passing grades just so my teachers would not have to deal with me again. In college, I found myself heavily entrenched in mathematics classes, and finding that I thoroughly enjoyed learning the material and had no trouble whatsoever achieving A grades in them.
My strong passion for mathematics started in high school. I excelled computational courses like Physics and Precalculus. I found these courses enjoyable whenever I explained key concepts with my peers. The discourse of discovering mathematical relationships was engaging. My precalculus teacher got wind of these informal sessions and wanted me to consider becoming a teacher. My father, delighted that I had an iota of a career goal in mind, gifted me the book Math In Minutes. It gave me a foretaste of undergraduate math: Zorn’s Lemma, eigenvectors, combinatorics – the works. I fell deeper into the math rabbit hole. Though at the time I didn’t know what I wanted to do with math, I knew I earnestly wanted to learn it all. With the support of my family, I became a first-generation college student – with admission to the University of Washington.
I’m an Engineer at Microsoft with a deep love for teaching. Here at Microsoft, I’ve contributed significantly to Xbox and Cortana projects. Beyond software, I’ve been a dedicated academic. During my Bachelor of Science studies in Computer Science at Wayne State University, I was a awarded the Urban Scholars Scholarship for outstanding academic achievements and a commitment to community development. I’ve been a Teaching Assistant and love guiding through thorny algorithms and math problems.
Without my 5th grade teacher I would not be in nearly in the same place as I am now. Math is often thought of as extremely difficult or scary. It is easy to hate and sometimes frustrating to attempt. I want to help people build their mathematical confidence. Anyone can do math, but bad experiences and the socialized fear of the subject can act as huge setbacks. I want to help people more fully understand the concepts they are trying to learn. My ideal student is someone who is just willing to try even if they don’t understand at first. By taking time to pick apart the tricky bits and examine the misunderstandings, I believe everyone can become a better mathematician.
