At Vassar, I was deeply involved in the computer science department as a tutor and lab coach for several years...

...and have already had 3 summers of industry experience in Java, C/C++, and Python. In addition, I am currently a Research Assistant working on Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning! In teaching, I focus on working with students to solve problems together. It's important to understand each student's background knowledge, analyze underlying assumptions, and figure out how to approach the subject at hand. Understanding a previously intimidating topic can be incredibly empowering!

...teaching philosophy, I like to provide students with highly structured approaches to problem-solving. I do this to ensure that their students walk away armed with a set of tools that allow them to demonstrate what they have learned and execute tasks that are contingent on their subject mastery. Regardless of if you are solving a complex equation or putting together an essay for college, emphasizing a logical and structured approach improves the competency and speed...

I always enjoy meeting new people and look forward to helping students build confidence in their studies.

...early college high school program (the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science) and volunteered in a local middle school, where I worked with struggling students one-on-one.

...in another way that I've learned. I like working with students that are self motivated and want to have a tutor, no matter their current skill level in a class. Having a great teacher or tutor won't help if the student does not want to learn and put in the work. However, I truly believe any student can not just succeed, but excel, if they work hard and have the right support system. Aside from...

...math and science and standardized testing. All the time I see Math and Science get kind of a bad reputation and its a shame because I really have a passion for these subjects. In my experience, it isn't that these subjects are inherently more difficult but rather they're often taught in a very cookie cutter, 'memorize this' format. And while this can work for some I believe a student must know not just the 'hows'...

...- from kids, to college students, to adults. I tutor a wide variety of subjects including math, Spanish, ESL, and test prep. I really enjoy tutoring geometry and algebra or SAT prep. My tutoring strengths include finding multiple ways to explain things for my students and giving real value to the learning process so that information can be retained. Outside of the academic world, I love to listen to and make music. I play volleyball,...
