...conceptually designing and physically manufacturing models of idealized airfoils to test in aerodynamic efficiency (computational fluid dynamics) programs I have written in MATLAB. When leading a tutoring session, I like to go through problems methodically, and break them down into their simplest components and concepts before explaining the full solution. I find that this way, complex concepts in calculus and physics become easier to remember, when they are grounded in simple principles. I love to...

...I acquired a variety of methods for teaching math skills and numerical fluency.

...anyone can learn anything if given the right tools and motivations. I am patient but firm, and hope to instill confidence and self-efficacy in every student. I do so by placing more emphasis on understanding concepts than on getting the right answer; the right answer will come when the concepts are understood. I have always excelled at test-taking and scored three 5's (in English Literature/Composition, English Language/Composition, and Calculus AB) and three 4's (in Calculus...

...problem solving pioneered by the international design firm IDEO. While typically used in startups to develop new innovations, I've found it extremely handy in tutoring. Every student is different and so are their difficulties, so a finite set of ways to present a concept or tackle a difficulty is potentially limiting.
