As a senior at Purdue University getting my BS in Computer Science and Math, I've worked closely with a lot of younger students in intro-level courses. I learned during my time as both a TA and a supplemental instructor in these courses that helping people learn about their potential in a constructive and encouraging environment is something that I really appreciate. As a high school student, I was tutored for almost all four years and I realized the effect that 1-on-1 time has on a student who is either struggling or just needs some focused study time. While this is my first experience being a tutor, I know that I am proficient in teaching math, computer science, Spanish, and exam preparation specifically. My aptitude for teaching these subjects comes from my love of them (especially math), which hopefully I can share with any students that are willing to try. My teaching philosophy is based on communication and understanding the needs of the student before attempting anything. I also prioritize getting to know who the student is as a person and learner. Outside of academia, I find myself binging TV shows, listening to music, practicing music, and spending time with my family and friends over FaceTime.
