I'm currently pursuing a B.S. in Civil Engineering at Columbia University. As a first-generation, low-income student, I know how crucial academic support can be. My public school education left gaps that made college-level engineering challenging, but tutoring and office hours helped me grow into a stronger student and problem-solver. That experience drives my passion for helping others succeed. I've worked with students of all agesfrom volunteering in after-school programs to tutoring peers in subjects like algebra, calculus, and college essay writing. I tutor math, physics, U.S. history, government, and essay writing. As an engineer, I am a bit partial to math (particularly algebra, pre-calc, calculus) and physics 1. My tutoring style is patient, interactive, and focused on helping students understand the "why," not just the "how."
