I'm a former Stanford grad, where I majored in Math and History. I've also spent a few years working as a software developer.
I am currently studying Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I have had experience tutoring students of all ages through programs at my school and the local library. I also teach private percussion lessons to help students prepare for auditions and concerts. While I tutor many subjects, I especially enjoy helping students with math, physics, computer science, and music. In my free time, I enjoy playing percussion (much to my neighbors dismay) and tinkering with robotics. I also enjoyed scouting as a kid and still love hiking and exploring the outdoors.
I am a Molecular Engineering major at the University of Chicago, I am currently taking time off to focus on other aspects of my career but I don't want to stop tutoring outside college campus!. I am a child of immigrants and have spent my life tutoring my siblings and younger students, and I loved working with them! See y'all in class!
I am a software programmer who specializes in Python applications and some web design. I have a deep understanding of mathematics and how computers work, but software development also allows room for creativity and exploration of an endless supply of tools available online. I like to think I bring this versatility to every aspect of life, including tutoring. Another example of this is my affinity for realistic drawing; by using proportions and geometry to analyze a scene as well as incorporating different techniques,
As a Ph.D. student in Computational and Applied Mathematics at the University of Chicago, with a Bachelor's in Mathematics from MIT, I am passionate about making mathematics accessible and engaging for all learners. My experience as a teaching assistant for calculus courses has honed my ability to design effective problem sets and lead dynamic recitations, while also providing personalized support through office hours and one-on-one tutoring. I specialize in subjects such as Algebra I & II, AP Calculus, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra. I strive to create a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring concepts. My teaching philosophy centers on patience, encouragement, and tailored lessons that align with each student's unique goals and learning style. I am dedicated to helping students build both their mathematical skills and their confidence, ensuring they can tackle challenges with a sense of accomplishment.
I am a second-year student at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor and I am in the College of Engineering. I am not exactly sure as to what I want to do after College, but I do know that I would like to do something that involves Physics, Chemistry, and Computer Science. In High School, I would teach/tutor elementary school students at a tutoring center in Chicago called Ivy Garden. I tutor many High School Math and Science subjects (including AP courses) as well as Math and Science test prep for the ACT. My favorite subjects to tutor are Calculus and Physics because they are applicable with many things in your daily life. I am inspired to tutor those who are struggling in Math and Science courses because people are very discouraged while studying these subjects and I feel that, with the proper instruction, not only will people get better at those subjects; but they will become more confident in themselves. I believe that understanding something conceptually is ten times more valuable than knowing how to use an equation and I like using real world examples when I am tutoring. On my free time I enjoy playing NBA 2K and actual basketball.
Software development taught Michael something that textbooks often skip: the discipline of decomposing a massive, ambiguous problem into small, testable pieces — and that's exactly how he teaches computer science. His professional coding experience across languages like Java, Python, Ruby, and C means he can ground abstract topics like object-oriented design or control flow in real working code rather than classroom-only exercises. Rated 4.9 by students.
Between a master's in Computer Science, an active PhD program, and a full-time software development career, Daniel lives this subject from multiple angles — theoretical and applied.
