In college, I participated in Education Enrichment and Retention programs, tutoring STEM subjects like Calculus, Programming, and General organizational & study skills. I was also in the first cohort of Boyd Scholars, a program geared towards helping incoming students with engineering topics that may not have had the resources or background that others were afforded, and continually sought to help my peers day in and day out. I also tutored on the side for middle school, mainly Mathematics.

How would you describe your teaching philosophy/your tutoring style?
- I love to teach my students 'how to learn'. That entails tidbits and insight on how to ask themself questions to further understanding, and based on the subject, the kind of questions and thinking that promotes success not just with that concept of the day, but the subject as a whole.
