As a passionate educator with dual Bachelor's degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics from Cleveland State University, I have over 5 years of tutoring experience and currently teach in a classroom setting. My specialties include Algebra 2, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, and various programming languages such as C#, C++, and Java. I believe in creating a supportive learning environment that empowers students to engage deeply with complex concepts. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which not only enhances academic performance but also builds confidence. I find immense joy in witnessing my students' growth as they conquer challenging subjects. Beyond academics, I am a professional software designer with 25 years of industry experience, and I enjoy chess, basketball, and instructing martial arts, all of which enrich my approach to mentorship.
