About Me

I am currently earning a Bachelor degree in science/virginia/washington-dc">Computer Science at the maryland">University of Maryland. My goal is get up-to-date with current technological innovations, and to learn how to use computers to solve problems and expand the ways in which people can interact with their world. I am an aspiring inventor, and one day hope to see one of my ideas on store shelves, or out in the world making a real difference in people’s lives.

I have been a professional washington-dc">tutor for over two years, originally starting out as a developmental math washington-dc">tutor for a community college that I was attending. I expanded to private one-on-one washington-dc">tutoring upon requests by the students that I would help. During my career, I have focused primarily on Mathematics; however I have frequently helped my fellow students in the classes I have taken over the years. I enjoy helping others understand chemistry, physics, and a wide variety of computer subjects. I always have a much deeper and stronger understanding of a subject after I have relayed it to someone else. In finding ways to express it, I find new ways to understand it myself.

I believe anyone can learn any subject with persistence and effort. It just helps speed up the process when you have a subject-matter expert there to fill in the blanks. I try to explore how each student sees their world, and put the academic problems we face together into a perspective that makes real-world sense. Often times the student’s just need to hear an idea phrased differently or in a different context to be able to grasp a difficult concept. The art of questioning is my most valuable teaching tool. Students do not need an answer key. They need to know how to find the answers for themselves. I teach by asking specific questions to guide them in right direction. They will strengthen their ability to form their own questions and find their own answers with confidence when they face new problems alone.
